Surely Leicester should be in the big 6 and not Spuds?
Bit generous to Arsenal at this stage as well
The football league was first played for in season 1888/89 kid. You’re a real disciple of Sky Sports inventing soccer in 1992.
Are Spurs in the top 6 on that list?
Football was invented when Sky Sports won the rights and it nearly ended there a few weeks ago when Sky nearly lost the rights
well knock me down with a feather, a manyoo fan thinks football only started in 1992
The actual big six are:
Man Utd (20 titles)
Liverpool (19 titles)
Arsenal (13 titles)
Everton (9 titles)
Aston Villa (7 titles)
Man City (7 titles)
this saying is the preserve of absolute knobheads
Odd behaviour from the Man U fans. The morning after they effectively throw away their chances of winning the league and chasing down a faltering Manchester City, by fielding a reserve team in a crunch title match, they’re onto the thread that the handful of us devotees of little old Tottenham frequent, to highlight that Man U have won 13 league titles since Sky invented soccer in 1992 and wiped the record books prior to that clean.
A very needy lot. Well done anyway to Man U and huge congratulations on their 13 league titles since 1992.
in your opinion, which as we all know, counts for precisely nothing
Do you think player welfare would have entered the equation when selecting the team last night?
The reds have played on the 6th (8pm Kick off), 9th (2:05pm Kick off), 11th (6pm Kick off) and are due to play again on the 13th in a 8:15pm Kick off.
Was it FA Cup replays that caused the Fixture congestion ???
The fixture congestion arose as a consequence of the loutish behaviour of scummy Man U fans in forcing the postponement of the match against Liverpool last Sunday week. The rules should have been correctly applied there and Liverpool awarded a 3-0 walkover win for the failure of the Manchester United club to host the fixture at the designated time. The Leicester game would have been played on the Wednesday or Thursday night.
I’d be more concerned about the welfare of the unfortunate police officer who had his face disfigured for life after getting glassed with a bottle by a scummy Man U fan.

Man U fans over on the Spurs thread bleating about the welfare of their players after their scummy fans forced the postponement of the Liverpool match which caused a bit of minor fixture congestion.
Back in season 1981/82, when Spurs were chasing on four fronts well into the season and the big freeze of late 1981/early 1982 had seen all fixtures cancelled for nearly 8 weeks, Spurs had a right old fixture pile up. We played our last 8 league matches in 17 days from 1 May to 17 May and on 5 occasions there we had league matches within 2 days of each other. A fixture pile up that cost us the title.
And that was in an era ( pre Sky ) of much smaller squads
Champions.
We post where we like.
Indeed. Most teams made do with more or less the same starting XI for every game and 2 or 3 utility players in the squad. Didn’t have the luxury of fielding almost an entirely different from Sunday, a starting XI which apparently still cost more than the Leicester City starting line up to assemble.
