“Jeff Stelling, Paul Merson and Robbie Savage think we are ok for once”
Now that DOES worry me :ohmy: :lol:
Argentina used to do it a few times.
I am so old I can remember that Italy had the players listed alphabetically for the 1966 World Cup – the first time I’d ever heard of it (mind you, that was the only time squad numbers were used). The strange thing was though that the first two players in the alphabetical list were goalkeepers.
Sorry to tell you , lowton, that you’re not the first to use that joke.
… or even the second or third… :P
Easy one, though – who can name the trophy?
Because we are little Wigan and should be honoured that such a team as Chelsea even consider buying one of our meagre players.
I’m not at all condoning what happened at Cardiff – I think it’s disgraceful.
But Leeds adopted all white (to look like Real Madrid). Oldham had orange shirts and blue shorts within living memory. I remember in the 70s Luton changing to orange from their long-traditional white shirts and black shorts.
When I first saw Scunthorpe they wore all red instead of the claret and blue they’ve worn more recently. Before that they had white shirts and blue shorts.
I remember Villa ditching the iconic sleeves to have pinstripes – I remember Sheffield Wednesday having blue shirts and white sleeves instead of their long-time blue and white stripes.
Even Bolton’s traditional navy shorts have become white a few times recently.
It’s wrong what’s happened to Cardiff – no doubt. But not isolated.
Yes – outfield players can have number 1.
There have been a few examples in international tournaments, but a little closer to home Charlton in the 1990s numbered their squad alphabetically.
So who had their #1 shirt?
A certain Stuart Balmer!
you moron of the lowest order.
Is there a moron order?
I feel a list and selection criteria coming on….[/quote]
There is actually, SW.
Although the scale isn’t used these days, psychologists/psychiatrists used to consider that a moron had an IQ between 51 and 70.
IQs between 26 and 49 are imbeciles, and below 25 are idiots.So actually calling someone an idiot is a worse insult than calling them a moron.
I think Fulham will struggle. Swansea and Norwich have been found out. QPR are showing desperation in signing everyone in sight – to no avail I think. I can’t see Reading or Southampton making any inroads. As mentioned I think Everton and Villa may struggle too.
If we just go about the job fairly workmanlike, we should have a good season.
Why is there about 3 people trying to wind griff up. At least he has creative input on this forum, If him, standish, garswood and jayt didn’t post on here it would be a derelict site. If you disagree with him just say it, Nobody can agree on everything, Just be adult about it and air your views.You’ve forgotten Filmoss with 3,577 posts and jamesc with 2,573. Not to mention the late lamented Vat69 with 2,668. :cheer:
You know what, you’re right, I wish I was you,

Correct use of the subjunctive :)
If you define it by country of birth then the situation is very different.
I haven’t updated this for the last couple of years(yet)but this is the by-birth-country list:
I only counted league appearances too.
