This is doing the rounds just now and promoting debate. It's based upon success in England over the last 30 years.

I've seen a version of that too. I can only assume that whoever did it was on powerful drugs.

I suppose Accy will be pleased because it puts Blackburn near the top of the pile.

The way football clubs are viewed obviously varies hugely and is pretty fascinating.

The lads I used to play football with, mostly Newcastle fans, used to slag me off when I rocked up in my Killie tops. Which I took, because it's fair - we are a provincial side in a country where (sadly) only two teams are given any thought (though this may change now that Warnock is at Aberdeen). I didn't really care, because as much as I love the game, I don't take it particularly seriously.

But one guy, "Philipsy" took it too far, kept asking why I bothered, why I didn't support a "big club" and all that. I got fed up eventually, and pointed out that we'd won the top flight more recently than Newcastle, and in my lifetime had won both the Scottish and League Cups, the latter against a "big club" in Celtic. The nail finally went into his irritating wee coffin when I said that until winning the Championship, Newcastle had won nowt since the Fairs Cup which doesn't even exist any more.

Interesting.
I wanted Villa to batter them so they were down and out when we play them. I hope you turn out to be right.

, but er what's it based on? 🤔 I see that Rovers have parted ways with their manager, or head coach as they call them these days. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co....-rovers-confirm-jon-dahl-tomassons-departure/ and replaced him with https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68192976 If they lose to haven't won in ages Stoke today, they'll be in deep💩! A draw wouldn't be that good as drawing at home to a just below you in the table team with such a record spells a potential relegation scrap. A loss would be disastrous! :unsure:

Success in the last 30 years, apparently.

Great result for Greenock Morton last night, taking out Motherwell in the Scottish Cup.

Former Killie players getting them there too. Great result.

I missed the game unfortunately, but it must have been a belter as Motherwell have been doing well lately especially coming off that 5 nil win at the weekend.

To be fair Ross County are a basket case of a club at the moment and Morton must be the form team in Scotland right now unbeaten in twelve I think.
