Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[H.H.]

I thought I must have misheard, but no. An astonishing bit of trivia about Stokes relegation squad from a few years ago.


Richard Jolly, the master of football trivia, wrote on Twitter: "If Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting plays in the next round, it will mean the relegated Stoke squad of 2017-18 had players who played in the 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019 & 2020 Champions League semi-finals."

He provided the list in full too.

That's: 2005 Johnson 2007 Crouch 2008 Fletcher 2009 Fletcher 2010 Bojan 2011 Fletcher 2013 Shaqiri 2015 Jese 2016 Jese 2019 Shaqiri 2020 Choupo-Moting.

It's alright doing well in these pesky massive European night games but they obviously weren't good enough to do it on a wet Wednesday night Stoke home game.

People have different versions of "Trash" so perhaps he was comparing them to the European big fish?
I dont think they're at all trash and think they would easily finish top 4 in the premier league.

Yeah Bayern and City (completely forgot about them, they’re most definitely contenders this year) are better teams and would finish above them in a proper league imo, but one-off matches in a cup competition like this a full-strength PSG just have so much talent and ability to score goals.

Yep, and one-off League Cup semi-finals, not that it would affect us - and

Premier League scraps winter break because of congested 2020-21 schedule

The Premier League has scrapped its winter break for the 2020-21 season because of the congested schedule resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.

Good that the winter break has been scrapped.

Said it before but the FA/PL will slowly drive away fans from clubs outside the top 6. Their obsession with having those 6 clubs at the heart of everything will ultimately be their downfall when the average joe sacks it off.

FFP/VAR is already got me less interested- add in no fans in the stadiums and I'll likely end up missing a few of our opening fixtures.

Just send them to the Super League already

Good that the winter break has been scrapped.

Can't wait for Herr Gurn to start kicking off about this.

Another example of the * winning season for murderpool - rule changes galore.

At the start of the season Spurs could have 9 games in 21 days.

Wow! That is one amazing stat.

Watching CL football really shows how poor and ponderous we are are

Llorente up top?!

Been playing just off the striker all year now.
