  1. Norwich aside, the fact that more than half of the division have been going at one point-per-game or less over a 20+ game period is remarkable. I guess that's what happens when you have the top seven on over 1.8, but it's still an incredible stat.
  2. Onel demonstrating his strict diet which allows him to run like *** before twattlng the ball in any direction.
  3. I'd also argue that the kits for the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004 are also remembered for having their their own unique identity, but I do agree with your general point. Everything in the last 20 years has been so plain and generic.
  4. I remember looking at the Chelsea side which played in this final not too long ago and thinking what an achievement it was for our boys to win this. The Chelsea side contained Nathan Ake, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Andreas Christensen, all first team regulars for top European clubs, they had Jeremie Boga and Ola Aina, who both have around a couple of hundred appearances in Europe's 'big five' leagues plus plenty of international caps for Ivory Coast and Nigeria, as well as two good Championship players in John Swift and Lewis Baker. Chelsea were also very dominant in the FA Youth Cup around that time, winning it seven times between 2010 and 2020, so it was one hell of an achievement for a club of our size.
  5. Whilst Sargent is clearly incredibly important to us, there are two huge caveats. Every club in the division would be able to say 'if we hadn't lost [player] for [time period] then we would have [number] more points'. Every club has injuries to important players throughout the season, and who knows, maybe we won a few games where the opposition were missing a couple of key players, and we wouldn't have won them had those players been available? Also, the period Barnes missed also coincided with Sargent's injury. Our PPG with Barnes is 1.89 and without is 0.8. I do feel that Sargent is more important than Barnes, but Barnes' importance should be understated.
  6. I do get the feeling that as result of our recent dominance over them, and the long unbeaten record in the derby, we have more to lose than they do whenever we play them at the moment.
  7. Another poster pointed it out a month or two ago, and since then I've kept an eye it, and there are enough similarities to leave no doubt in my mind whatsoever.
  8. I saw a stat a week or two ago that said since the Championship became the Championship in 2004, every team that had amassed 76 points after 36 games were not only top, but had gone on to win the league. This season, three teams had 76 or more after 36 games.
  9. Bloody hell, late by a whisker again. I really should start picking on a Thursday, or maybe just retire 35 years early. For stats purposes, Bayern Munich to beat Zimbo's boys.
  10. Not gonna lie, I did think the exact same thing whilst I was typing it out.
  11. As long as they're sensible and not antagonistic, I'm happy for anyone to post on here.
