Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 9hHow many of the best/most successful managers were top players/captains? Some were but a lot more weren't. Different skill sets involved. 110

Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The buildings at St James Terrace are more of an impediment as they virtually touch the the East Stand. 010
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It was 2 European Cups. Liverpool in 2005 and Man United in 2008. They were also runners-up 4 times between them, Arsenal 2006, Liverpool 2007 and Man United 2009 and 2011. 110
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I've no idea what it's meant to be, nor how it relates to St James' Park, but it's doing its job because lots of people are talking about it. 020
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 04/10/2026What about the teams they beat in the rounds leading up to the final? 010
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 04/10/2026At least MCFC's spending won trophies. SAFC's won diddly squat. 110
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I did. Len Shackleton received 'under the counter' payments when Sunderland signed him from Newcastle United. The big irony is that Sunderland won nothing during the post-war period when their financial chicanery was at its peak. 110
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Surely, it's 'howay' in Newcastle and 'ha'way' in Sunderland? 010

Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm watching the N Macedonia vs Scotland game. The studio guests say Scotland's penalty was harshly awarded for handball. Can pundits do their homework on the laws of football? Denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity via a non-deliberate handball is sanctioned by a penalty kick. 030
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026They've already managed to persuade us to defer the first payment. 210
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Liverpool had a significant, but not dominant, history until the mid-1970s to 1990. 000
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Arsenal joined the Football League together and played their first league game against each other. Arsenal didn't win anything until 1930 (by which time we had won all of our 4 league titles) and then dominated the decade due to finance. Post war, they had a two decade lean spell until 1970. 220
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Before 1992, Man Utd only had 7 titles (the same as Villa and two fewer than Everton) and none in 26 years. They won 13 of the next 21 so massively overachieved given their previous history. 232
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026We don't know what would have happened in any of those seasons. My point is that, in the cup competitions specifically, any of the teams Manchester City beat on the way to the final might have gone on to win the cups in question, not just the teams who lost the final. 010
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Pretty much, so you couldn't give Stoke City the title and prize money, in the event of Manchester City being stripped of the prize. There are too many imponderables. 110
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I know very little about Dungeons and Dragons. To be honest, I'm happy to keep it that way. 100
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The PL won't decide any punishment. That's the job of the independent panel. 010
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Manchester City played Leicester City, Notts County, Aston Villa, Reading, and Manchester United on the way to the final. Who's to say Stoke City would have beaten any of them in the final? 210
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The Cup Final team won despite Hall (injured) and Gordon (suspended) not playing. 120

Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Who was it who beat England 1-0 in their opening group game at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico? 230
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 02/10/2026No, we only got the final live. Motty's hysterics were delivered with the highlights package. 110
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Barney Ronay and Jonathan Lieuw always come across as 'holier than thou', but are actually quite spiteful. 130
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 02/10/2026No room in the schedule after they've finished providing in-depth analysis of The Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing. 010
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 02/10/2026BBC makes/broadcasts 'The Traitors' and 'Strictly Come Dancing'. BBC platforms aforementioned programmes by making them headline items on their news broadcasts. BBC is no longer a serious organisation. 030
Len E @felixlang.bsky.social · 01/10/2026"Newcastle United double down with 2030 title aim in hush-hush meeting at St James' Park," is the headline to a Lee Ryder article in today's Chronicle. Notwithstanding that the article bore little relation to the headline, the 'hush-hush' meeting referred to was attended by several journalists. 🤔 160
