    Default The 2011/2012 :wub:ship and below discussion thread

    The Premier League thread is being overthrown by supporters of such clubs as Crystal Palace, Port Vale and perhaps even worse, Leeds United and the sunday league team West Ham. It's time we restore order.

    This thread is for the discussion of teams from the Championship and down.

    would you believe it we actually started a Football League thread on Friday, pre the database failure,

    so biggest news today is the Brighton signing of Craig Micheal-Smith from Peterboro, for £3.5m

    Rochdale have signed Marc Twaddle

    Paulo Di Canio is getting set for his managerial breakthrough with Swindon, with a pre-season tour of Italy.


    and just so the glory hunting, prawn sandwich munching Premier League boys don't feel left out we will look to give you a snippet or two, but as today is special we added a few

    Just heard that Girls Aloud are playing Newcastle in August. They are expected to win 3-0

    I don't know why Fulham fans are complaining. I'm sure their statue was cheaper than the £50m Chelsea paid for theirs.

    Do know how to cancel a bid I just made on Ebay? I put a bid on a Micky Mouse Outfit and I am about 6 minutes away from Buying Liverpool FC

    Yes you should've reposted it before Norway's answer to Jan Molby posted his.

    Malky Mackey, starting a scottish revolution at Cardiff but i still cant see him gaining us promotion.

    Dave Jones had one of Cardiffs best squads last season, and look what happened there. Now we gotta watch those jack bastards gloat over Premier League status, 1st welsh team to make it there and so on, while we probably become mid-table place holders for a few seasons.

    Which non-premiership club has the best/most passionate support during matches? Not just championship, if there is something further down, that would be good too.

    I don't really know these clubs really except a few which I have seen in Europe or the premiership (Ipswich, Leeds, West Ham and the likes). But the fact is that in championship there are less foreigners makes it interesting a bit.


    Also, if someone has the time, it would be good to have a short summary of some interesting clubs, non-brits don't usually hear of. (like golden age and best 11 of Preston NE or something)

    Also, if someone has the time, it would be good to have a short summary of some interesting clubs, non-brits don't usually hear of. (like golden age and best 11 of Preston NE or something)
    I'll do a summary of my club:

    Nottingham Forest:

    Founded: 1865
    Ground: The City Ground
    Honours: League Champions 1977-78
    FA Cup Winners: 1898,1959
    League Cup Winners: 1978,1979,1989,1990
    European Cup Winners: 1979,1980
    European Super Cup Winners: 1980
    Most Capped Player: Stuart Pearce (England) 76
    Most League Goals: Grenville Morris 199 (1898-1913)
    Most League Appearances: Bobby McKinlay 614 (1951-1970)

    The golden age of the club was undoubtedly during the late 70's when under the management of Brian Clough we broke (temporarily) the dominance of Liverpool home and abroad to become league champions in 1978 and double European Cup winners in 1979 and 1980. Amazingly the team was a collection of motley waifs and strays and journeymen footballers who somehow were crafted into title winning outfit by Clough, who in partnership with Peter Taylor, got the best out of them.

    My Best XI:

    Peter Shilton (GK)
    Viv Anderson (RB)
    Stuart Pearce (LB)
    Kenny Burns (CB)
    Des Walker (CB)
    Gary Crosby (RM)
    John Robertson (LM)
    John McGovern (CM)
    Roy Keane (CM)
    Stan Collymore (FW)
    Nigel Clough (FW)

    Other ex-Forest players you might've heard of - Teddy Sheringham, Martin O'Neill, Michael Dawson, Jermaine Jenas and Kris Commons

    Biggest Rivals: Derby County, Notts County and Leicester City

    Irrelevant facts: Forest played in first match where they used nets in goals, a Forest player was the first to wear shin pads (Sam Widdowson IIRC) and Forest choice colours were inspired by Guiseppe Garibaldi.

    Thanks mate, very interesting read!

    I know of Nottingham, there was a series in a hungarian football paper called 'where are they now', where the journalists went after clubs with a glorius past, but not glorious present. (the likes of Reims, Malmö, Magdeburg, Dynamo Dresden, Torino, etc.)

    Default Re: The 2011/2012 :wub:ship and below discussion thread

    likewise I will use the same format

    West Ham United:


    Founded: 1895 as Thames Iron Works, changed to West Ham Utd in 1900
    Ground: The Boleyn Ground
    Honours:
    FA Cup Winners: 1964,1975, 1980
    FA War Cup: 1940
    UEFA Intertoto Cup - 1999
    European Cup Winners Cup: 1965
    World Cup: 1966
    Most Capped Player: Sir Bobby Moore (England) 108
    Most League Goals: Vic Watson 326 (1920 - 1935), Sir Geoff Hurst 252 (1959-1972)
    Most League Appearances: Billy Bonds 793 (1967-1988)

    The golden age of the club was in the mid 60's, led by Sir Bobby Moore West Ham won the FA Cup, 1964, European Cup Winners Cup in 1965, and World Cup 1966. Managed by Ron Greenwood he modeled the team on the Magical Magyars.
    Much of the 70's, 80s we were probably as infamous for our following as our football, and seemed to have spawned more films about Football Hooliganism than everybody else combined

    More recently we have been relegated from the Premier League in 2002, when in our second season we were promoted winning the so called richest game in football "The Championship Play off final".

    Played in the last FA Cup Final at Cardiff, a thrilling 3 -3 draw with Liverpool, that we lost on penalties. We have just been relegated again this season.
    The Club has been beset by Financial issues after being purchased by a supposedly Billionaire Icelandic Banker, and has been sold to the Dildo Daves (both West Ham fans). The club will also move into the Olympic Stadium after the London Olympics


    My Best XI:

    Phil Parkes (GK)
    Ray Stewart (RB)
    Julian Dicks (LB)
    Alvin Martin (CB)
    Bobby Moore (CB)
    Martin Peters (RM)
    Alan Devonshire (LM)
    Trevor Brooking (CM)
    Billy Bonds (CM)
    Paulo Di Canio (FW)
    Geoff Hurst (FW)

    Other ex-Hammers players you might've heard of - John Terry, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Micheal Carrick, Jerman Defoe, Glen Johnson, Biggest Rivals: Millwall, Spurs, Chelsea
    facts:
    Only one English man has lifted the World Cup, Sir Bobby Moore - of West Ham,
    only one person has scored a Hat-trick in a World Cup Final, Sir Geoff Hurst, West Ham,
    West Ham supplied 3 of the England 66 World Cip winning team, more than any other club
    we are also known as the Academy of Football.
    West Ham appeared in the first ever Wembley Cup Final in 1923, the famous White Horse Final and a record crowd for Wembley (lost 2 nil to Bolton)
    West Ham were the last team to win at Highbury, and the first to win at the Emirates
    Our Anthem is I'm forever blowing bubbles



    Thames Iron Works built HMS Warrior the first iron hulled, armoured battleship for the Royal Navy
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    A statue of West Ham and Englands favourite son sits outside the new Wembley, with the inscription
    Sir Bobby Moore - "Immaculate footballer. Imperial defender. Immortal hero of 1966. First Englishman to raise the World Cup aloft. Favourite son of London's East End. Finest legend of West Ham United. National Treasure. Master of Wembley. Lord of the game. Captain extraordinary. Gentleman of all time."

    How are they planning to use the Olympic Stadium? My uncle, who is well above averagely interested in West Ham (not a sensible man I might add) said they would make it possible to 'roll' the courts used for running under the stands or something like that... Sounds like a fairy-tale, but hell why not with modern technology everything is doable.

    Your extremley wise and sensible Uncle is correct, as I understand it they are looking at seats that will extend and retract over the running track,

    The stadium will also host a number of other sports (I believe Essex Cricket Club will play 20 20 games there) and events such as concerts, as well as having the largest shopping centre in Europe
