Tangle Foot Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Last season it took us 22 league matches to reach 20 points. This season we have done it in only 11 matches. A huge well done to Lee (including his staff) and the boys! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a huge well down to SL for appointing Mark Ashton - the man who recruited all the signings. We are two games short of a quarter of the season and if City are still in the top six then all the hard work over the summer will be showing some early benefits.

Still, two champions and one runner up, not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 In 1978-79 we beat Man U and Liverpool, former winners of the European Cup, in the First Division. We also won home games against future winners in Chelsea and Aston Villa. This shows how far we still have to go with this team to outperform the Alan Dicks boys.
