True, but I'd say going from bottom of the Premier League at Christmas to winning it the next season is pretty much overnight, which is what I was getting at. They didn't win the league because of their 'bigness' or because they were good in the 70s, as many fans think entitles a club to success now. They won it because they were brilliant in that one season, on and off the pitch.
I don't think anyone thinks this - the point is, what was a big club in the 70's is still a big club now ..... they're a big club not doing very well.
Not for me. I think any other decade is just as important, and this decade right now is the most important. So for me Man City are one of the biggest clubs, and Leeds, Forest, etc are just average Championship clubs. Having a big, old stadium which is never full and is falling down gives a club absolutely no advantage here and now.
It was one of the most comprehensive 1 nil victories ive seen in a long time. Totally controlled the game from start to finish. Quality day out to boot !!!
Back in the 70s, if you'd said that one day in our lifetime we'd see City at Wembley put 5 past Sheff U and send 45,000 Wednesday fans home miserable and outclassed, I think we'd all have been ****ing ecstatic beyond words.
I would recognise that mustard shirt and awkward body language anywhere..... That photo is from the night in 2013 when AA made it very difficult for fans to share the joy of promo, hence the empty ground behind them. It tells you all you need to know about how not to run a football club. Do you prefer an open top bus parade through the city, reaching out to new fans and non fans alike, sharing the good vibes and happiness, generating thousands of photographic memories for generations to come? Or do you go for option B - excluding everyone bar the most dedicated and 'celebrating' in a muted and stilted quarter-full stadium? SB has fallen on his feet. The only way that club can go is up, and he will look a good manager again. An object lesson to all football managers- join a club at the lowest ebb not just past the peak of their cycle (Yes David Moyes, that would be you...)
No they haven't, only Barnsley have had more seasons in the second tier than Leicester. We're third in the all time list. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
We wouldn't have been Because we wouldn't have believed we would see it. If you had said that one day we would give Leeds United such a runaround their manager would say they had got away lightly and it could have been 7 or 8 whilst when the Leeds players went to the few remaining in the ground they were greeted with them singing "What the ****ing hell was that?"' I wouldn't have believed it either. A moment which gave me more pleasure than any in the PL.
The dismantling of Wendy on their own manner was better,but I get your drift. Another crack at Blunts imminent if some of our lot continue to hound Phelan out. F'kall changes eh? Allams OUT
