Same but there is a clear route out of this and hopefully that gives us that added 2/3% to our game that may make the difference!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Md9 Posted 21 May 2023 Share Posted 21 May 2023 2 seasons in a row now we could have put Everton down if we had got a result against them both times we haven’t beaten them . Still gutted madders didn’t score the pen what a massive miss it could turn out to be 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitcher Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 (edited) 11 hours ago, Leeds Fox said: No No No! This was me as a youngster, but I feel like it’s a bit special not supporting Leeds when almost everyone I know is a Leeds fan. I can’t really explain why. I do know what you mean. I grew up in Leeds, have lived all my life in Leeds, but supported Leicester since 1974, when I adopted them following a school project. I was nine and the teacher had said we had to write about anything, but said she didn't want all the boys writing about Leeds. Being football mad, that was the green light to still write about football. I picked the next club alphabetically, and there you go, nearly 50 years later. My dad and brother are both Leeds. Edit: Curious. Did you have a connection, or just adopt City for some reason? Edited 22 May 2023 by Twitcher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hebangsthedrums Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 My dad picked us over spurs as his team for the cup final in the 60s - stuck with him then onto me. He was mildly jealous he had to wait circa 30 years to see us ply at Wembley and I did it after a handful of games (92 play off final) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back in the day..it was always the cheque book.. just the sums were not so grotesque… FFP, rules here or ffp Rules there, either way they are not adhered to.. just 3 letters,that make the gangsters feel decent.. So it stays a free for all.. We live in a money cynical world,where the best investor wins the spoils.. Chelsea has had a season hiccup,I bet next season,both MC & Chelsea will be the 2 big clubs..,Newcastle,Spurs,Arsenal at present just haven’t got those finances. Then there are Manutd, & L‘pool that border on high finance,plus their successful traditions name,allows them to have a world wide cache of high quality players that will always be available to them… RM..& Barcelona have been so internally corrupt..nobody bothers any longer.. So we swallow our pride,turn an hypocritical blind eye…and try to enjoy that basic Simple on-field game that is played out before us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Many of the stories for Brighton are replicas of those written about us and wolves before then. "Will they break into the big 6?" And the answer is always no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Will they break into the big 6?" And the answer is always no what i’ve realised is how well you do on the pitch won’t matter in the end. Anything you do well, will be stolen and purchased. Then the goal posts will be moved to help make sure you don’t disrupt the big clubs further. If they really do find a way to keep sticking it to them, that will simply just speed up the process of the super league. I was feeling resigned that nothing we would do would really matter again and that as the years go on it just gets harder. I think what’s gone so wrong is that our club felt that we were part of this group. That these changes were helping us as well because we are the next big club. We voted with the big clubs. We probably would have jumped at the chance to join the ESL. I think we had delusions of grandeur and didn’t use the platform we’d built to fight against the tide. As I said on a previous thread? We are happy to sue everton but had no intention of complaining that man city’s breach of rules effectively cost us champions league football on 2 occasions 🤷♂️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 That's a depressing lineup to see when you desperately need points. 3 CBs, 3 DMs and probably an ultra defensive, everyone behind the ball game plan trying to shithouse a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 22 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 22 May 2023 Juve have been docked 15 points, appealed, had it rescinded, had it reinvestigated and had 10 points deducted all in the time since it was announced Everton have broken the rules. Guarantee Everton get docked points like 24hrs after whatever deadline makes it apply to next season. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
