Not sure what's wrong with Bournemouth tbh. Still a very small club considering they've been in the EPL a few years now.
Don't even own their own stadium, didn't even have a Season Ticket system implemented in the 1st EPL season! Would rather see a small club do well than see a supposed big club celebrate finishing 4th.

Don Revie's team had a reputation for maiming others but him eating a woman and a young boy is taking things a bit far.

Did you know all three titles Leeds won were clinched at Anfield? Another similarity was that those three titles were each driven by a player Manchester United made a huge mistake in letting go - Johnny Giles in '69 and '74 and Gordon Strachan in '92. Leeds then handsomely and promptly repaid the favour by selling a certain Frenchman! Strachan was like the bastard child of Giles and Billy Bremner. Football was very different then. The pitches were sh*t which is a large part of the reason why it was so hard. That early 70s period to me seems the absolute peak of English club football as a mass engagement game of the people. The stadiums were heaving cauldrons. I would have loved to have been around in that era. 136k at Hampden Park for Celtic v Leeds in 1970. Wow. I'm rather fascinated by that Leeds team, by their brilliance, by their arrogance, by their bravery, by the way they finished second in so many competitions they should have won, and by their dark side, which included frequent attempts at match fixing which never seemed to work - their attempt to bribe Wolves before the crucial league decider in '72 seemed to fire Wolves up no end - and despite their furious denials, absolutely did happen. It's why Don Revie suddenly fled from England and the England manager's job to the Middle East in 1977 as the World Cup qualifiers were about to come to a climax - because Gary Sprake told the truth. None of the other Leeds players bar Eddie Gray ever spoke to Sprake again.

Yes i think Leeds were league runners up 5 times under Revie.
Same in a lot of cup finals they lost at home and in Europe. Giles was the dirtiest of them all. It was him that clocked Keegan in the Charity Shield but Keegan thought it was Bremner because Billy smiled at him so Keegan whacked him.

Remember Giles fell out with Dunphy over him bringing up what Giles did to John Fitzpatrick. Bremner was a great player, the real man for the big occasion. He was a better player than Giles. Giles made a dreadful mistake in the decisive match at Wolves in '72 when Leeds only needed a draw to win the league. He completely fluffed an easy clearance after a Wolves player had made a very poor low cross after a short corner, and the deflection off his boot landed perfectly for a Wolves player who buried it. Leeds should have won the league in '72, the FA Cup in '70 and '73 and the European Cup in '75 but were runners-up in each. In '70 they were almost comically superior to Chelsea but somehow conspired to blow it twice. They were chiseled in '75 when Lorimer got a great volleyed goal which was wrongly disallowed. That would have put them 1-0 up at a crucial stage in the second half. Beckenbauer also got away with a stonewall penalty on Allan Clarke. Me oul' fella was at that match, I think he sort of half-followed that Leeds team. |

Stop Giles was far superior to Bremner.
For 5/6 years Giles was probably the best CM in Europe. We Irish forget how good he was due to him maybe playing too lonv for Eire.

Ayling was good
Wild tackle by Dallas near the end Ederson actually won city a point despite making a big mistake for the goal. 3 great one on one saves
