City v Spurs and Arsenal v Leeds this weekend will thin the prem crowd

[LUX]

I have been obsessive over the 106 and Birmingham overhauling it last season was in League 1, so I’m gonna track that record once again.

If Stoke do it I'll buy everyone on here a drink to soften the blow

Or any year - ever!

It's one record that barely gets a mention anywhere - and of course, if such a record is mentioned, it's only ever 1961 Spurs and the ManU (almost) 1985 teams that usually get talked about

Think I post it every year, but its a nice read.

Senior to Benfica

[stealthpapes]

The golden bit is the next paragraph

So instead, he strengthened, paying £15,000 for Andy Rogers, Plymouth's left-winger and Millwall £35,000 for their striker, Kevin Bremner. At the time, it looked as though he would succeed Senior, who was expected to leave as had his predecessor, Kerry Dixon – most likely for Benfica.

But he did not. Their English manager, John Mortimore, was behind the deal but the club's president had never heard of him, preferring to pursue a Romanian international instead. As befitting his reputation as a dressing room wag, Senior understood – "fair comment", he admitted – and later, took small consolation when informed of Benfica's poor start to the season.

If Liverpool win say another 3, having already seen off their main rivals and signing Isak and possibly Guehi, it could get interesting....but not looked at who they are playing.
