The Natural Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Leicester City horror stats: With Monday's 3-0 defeat by Newcastle, the Foxes became the first side in the top four tiers of English football to lose eight successive home league games without scoring. It has been 720 minutes since Leicester City last scored at home in the Premier League. Leicester's current run of eight games without a goal at home equals that of Manchester City in May 2007. And with table-toppers Liverpool next to visit, a new record could very well be set. Van Nistelrooy is only the second manager in Premier League history to lose eight successive home games in the competition, after Daniel Farke in September 2021 with Norwich City.

AxB Posted April 8 Posted April 8 On 4/5/2025 at 2:37 PM, The Natural said: Luton Town 1-1 Leeds United in the Championship. It's one win in six for Leeds now and they will end the weekend outside the top two in the Championship. Daniel Farke's side slip to third for the first time since November. Luton are 23rd in the league. Sorry, AxB. And not a few days later, back to the top. The top 3 is really tight though, I can see it coming down to Goal Difference. It's going to be a real injustice if whichever team finishes third doesn't go on to win the Playoffs. 1

It's also why third place tend to lose in the playoffs as it's demoralizing coming so close to automatic promotion. It's really tight for Bradford City too. Bradford City are top of League Two on 73 points, Port Vale are second on the same total, Walsall a point behind in third and Doncaster Rivers fourth on 70. Least in League Two, it's three automatic promotion places.

The promotion playoff semifinals should be like the NFL where it's one match at the higher seed as that rewards the team who had the better league record. 1
odessasteps Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I saw someone suggest a way to perhaps shake up the staleness of the promotion Merry go round is to do what Germany does at the 18th place team in the PL plays a match vs the number 3 promoted side instead of a straight 3 up 3 down.

A similar error in a CL game essentially ended Tim Howard's career with us, Onana pulled multiple blunders at that level with the stakes FAR greater than the 2003 CL (If we don't win EL we are simply fucked from a £££ standpoint). 1

Andre Onana is the worst Manchester United goalkeeper since I started following football in 1995. Sir Alex Ferguson got shot of Taibi quick time. Onana helped knock Man Utd out of the Champions League last season or was it the one before? So many mistakes. You're spot on that the Europa League is a must win. 1
The Natural Posted April 12 Posted April 12 (edited) Swindon Town 5-4 Bradford City. City 0-2 up after 10 minutes. Smallwood, our captain gets sent off with a straight red on 14 minutes. City score 3-4 on 67 minutes only to concede an own goal, the winner in the 95th minute. Some scumbag Swindon players taunting Shepherd. Really not on that. Twats. That's one of the most downbeat final scores since I started supporting Bradford City as a 12 year old. I just turned 40. Edited April 12 by The Natural

The Natural Posted April 12 Posted April 12 (edited) https://youtu.be/tNg8-2PEOHY?si=4a3hOWw_-GcI4RJ2 Fucking stupid challenge by Smallwood when 0-2 up after 10 minutes to do that in the 14th. Captain should especially know better. Deserved red. Should be fined two weeks wages and be ripped a new one by his manager and team mates. Edited April 12 by The Natural
The Natural Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-2 Tottenham Hotspur. 17th defeat in the league this year. Basically a 2-0 win if you discount the 4 goals the football gods awarded Wolves.

Basically a 2-0 win if you discount the 4 goals the football gods awarded Wolves. Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are so lucky Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton are so shit, so far behind in the relegation places
Raziel Posted April 13 Posted April 13 The sad thing is that in theory, Ipswich could have a run and both Tottenham and United aren't safe yet. 1
odessasteps Posted April 13 Posted April 13 lucky people in the UK, we are stuck with Gary Neville on nbc this weekend, so enjoy your time only having to put with Keane and the rest.
