A good weekend for Sheffield

[Ham Green]

Swansea 3 Wednesday 0
United 0 Newcastle 8

Both going down?

 

[PL2 3DQ]

8 different scorers as well.

 

[mervyn]

8 different scorers as well.

A remarkable fact. Surely some statto will produce evidence that it’s the top flight game with the greatest ever number of different scorers.

The two Sheffield clubs have combined record this season of zero wins, three draws and eleven defeats from their 14 league games, and both were knocked out of the League Cup at the first opportunity at home to teams from two divisions below.

It's a long old season as we all know but early signs are they are both very much favourites to drop I'd say.

I think it is

It's the first time in the Premier League era, Liverpool had eight different goalscorers when they beat Palace 9-0 in 1989 apparently.

I've just had to look it up to refresh my memory, but as a kid I remembered reading about one of Liverpool's biggest European wins vs Stromgodset in the Cup Winners Cup back in 1974: they went on to win that game 11-0, and had nine different goal scorers in that game (Phil Thompson and Phil Boersma both got a brace).

I am sure Wednesday fans will take some solace from the Utd result!!!

I wonder if they are equally pleased that their last year's manager has found himself a new appointment at a higher level. Good for him, I say.

Think Lundan Cabbie would probably know all about that ?

The Steel town is certainly not strong in footballing terms at the moment

They have a premier league team and a championship team. It’s not that bad and better than most Cities.

 

[mutley marvel]

What odds would you get at the Bookmakers for both Sheffield clubs to be relegated from their respective leagues

Never mind the footy: a dozen years or so ago I saw Heaven 17, ABC and the Human League on the same bill. It were reet gradely.
