Not sure why you think that. Because we are in the Premier League. The new guys will get a significant pay rise by coming here. That there are two of them means the wage bill will have risen, but Wood was reportedly on around £50k a week here, so I'd imagine a 50% net increase with the two new play...

Sounds good, but it's not that simple. Wood was probably on lower wages than the incoming two will be, and of course, the fact that there are two of them, probably means three times as much in wages. (Approximately.) £8 million won't last long. I bet Chris Wood's wages were significantly higher tha...

I remember Sensible Soccer, and PES on the consoles, but every team and every player was changed.
In FM all the players and grounds are still the same, they have just changed the team name for, as far as I can tell, 2 teams.

That seems extraordinarily petty.

Playing FM22 recently and I noticed that Manchester United and Juventus are MUTFC and Zebre, there is no proper German or Holland national sides and top division sides don't use badges. I presume this is something to do with licencing, but do individual clubs get money from FM or is just permission?...

The 5-0 hammering at ewood was played at midday the day the clocks went back, so in my hangover head that kicked off at 11am.

Also seems like a sound bloke too - certainly enjoyed the team spirit around the return of Jason Shackell. I thought he was a bit unlucky and that first game of the season at Leeds kinda summed him up - runs himself into the ground for 70 minutes, should have had a penalty, Vokes then replaces him a...

I can't remember cambridge in 00 - I must have drunk so much after Scunny that I obliterated the game before...!

Why would he be interested, he's on course to take Fulham up, and there's every chance they'll be swapping places with Watford in a few months. I genuinely don't understand what Watford's owners expect, for a club of their size they're about where you'd expect them to be, and the revolving door app...

Was thinking Newport or maybe colchester

We played Colchester in early 2000's so it's definitely not them. i think they beat us 3-1 on't turf.

Or does the fact that they’ve come and gone from the eagle exclude them? In other words, do they have to have remained a football league side throughout the duration

No, current league team will do.

duncandisorderly

I'd forgotten about Newport, probably because I've never seen us play them, so that could be it.

duncandisorderly

Which team have we played in a league game, who are still a league team, that we haven't played in a league game for the longest and how long has it been?

I'm sure there's a better way of wording it....

(I don't know the answer, btw. A mate thinks it is Rochdale and I think someone like Cambridge)

And Grezza had over 1000 in his career, seems a lot in this context!

it does, doesn't it? Hard to imagine that one player could conceivably have played in a fifth of our entire games 140 years after it all began.

I can't see that without logging in

Man City surely, although that was prior to the dodgy money. Newcastle and West Ham also, but Everton and Villa are both founding members, and they are generally considered established PL clubs, just shows how tough even the bigger clubs find it to sustain a place at the top table doesn't it. Man C...

I don't doubt, but I can't see anything online about it - have you a link, Quicken?

If Everton were to go down would they be the biggest club to be relegated since football was reinvented in 1992, or are Aston Villa a bigger club?

duncandisorderly

If we're going to do system or personnel change then there are fewer less pressure games than Arsenal away, certainly compared with trying something different against Watford at home.

Collins and Roberts in, JBG and Brownhill wide, McNeil behind Jay. Try it, see what happens.

Pedestrians have right of way everywhere. It's why you can't legally run someone over who is in the middle of the road.

There are some rules regarding bubbles that didn't apply to the FA Cup

I may be wrong, and I'm not trying to speak for Leisure, but I think he means that by playing the young uns tonight they can't be considered for selection for the first team tomorrow.
Unless they can. I don't know the rules!

Get a grip, would be ludicrous to turn down £25m for Wood. He’s 31 this year and out of contract next summer. We should have took the £35m for Tark when we could, who is now going for nothing. He's a month into 30, lets not pretend he's ready for the knackers yard. As I understand it, there is a re...

A whole new meaning to going on the lash.

Dale Stephens cost the club £5-6m, Coutinho loan deal cost Aston Villa £4m, Mathias Norman cost Norwich £1.5m, Billy Gilmour cost Norwich £1m maybe? Whilst I get your general point, you can't include the wages when referring to our player and not include them when referring to other teams players.

I think I've been watching us longer than I realised then, as I went on the 9 man defeat one, and just assumed in later years that it was the same game as the Williams one, because I thought my first season was 91/92....am I older than I thought I was?

Robert Lewandoski has scored more goals than we have this year.

Was this not the game when they had our keeper in goal for them, Williams? If so, was it not the season after, or am I conflating two different rochdale 1-0 home defeats?

When Salah is about to receive the ball, Dean looks around and sees a midfielder in the middle and probably thinks the logical next phase would be for Salah to move the ball on to him, so he scurries out of the way.
