    But hang on, doesn't results depend in part on squad capability and how you strengthen it? You do know most of the Leicester squad are made up of players they signed? Think I may have understood you post. I'm quite puzzled.

    Sunderland: Craig Gordon, Dean Whitehead, Ross Wallace, Dickson Etuhu, Nyron Nosworthy, Paul McShane, Carlos Edwards, Dwight Yorke, Daryl Murphy, Anthony Stokes, Kieran Richardson. Subs: Danny Collins, Liam Miller, Michael Chopra. Subs not used: Darren Ward, David Connolly.

    Tottenham: Paul Robinson, Pascal Chimbonda, Paul Staltieri, Didier Zokora, Anthony Gardner, Younes Kaboul, Steed Malbranque, Jermain Jenas, Dimitar Berbatov, Robbie Keane, Teemu Tainio. Subs: Darren Bent, Jermain Defoe, Tom Huddlestone. Subs not used: Radek Cerny, Ricardo Rocha.

    ..............

    Look at them teams. Especially Spurs subs.

    That was the lineups for the first game of the 07/08 season.which happens to be todays date (but in 07 obviously).

    No one gave much chance. But Chopra scored with the last kick to win. So never say never.

    Now that sunderland team had 5 debutants in it. Who were they?

    Im not sure mate. I know Gordon is definetly one.

    Was that Chopras first game?

    A rather large contingent of playerd that later joined safc in that spurs squad. 2 of them are now among our most vital players

    Was that the last time we won a match in the first 5-10 games of a season?
