Pre Match Norwich v Leicester

Wednesday, 8PM, Sky.

Same starting lineup.

Vestergaard and Wilf most obvious ones to replace have both earned their starting place tonight.

McAteer too (Fatawu looked a bit shit in his time on the pitch)

Every game on Weds says it's on Sky. Are they all on the red button or is it a mistake?

I think all midweek Championship matches that aren't on the main channels are on the red button. But we're on Sky Sports Football next week.

You’re not interested in the results of other teams who could affect our promotion?

It's fecking September. The table is meaningless. All that matters is gathering points right now.

I'm not. They're all irrelevant as we aren't going to budget from top spot

I know. When you are near the top or the bottom it is not pointless (unless you are Derby, literally).

The table is “meaningless” to teams who are not near the top.

This meant a lot at the time.
Probably one of the most printed off/ copied league table of that era .

What year is this from please? Certainly a while ago just based on 2 points for a win!

It wasn't 2 points for a win. It was the table after the 0-0 draw at Sunderland, which meant that we'd started with 4 wins and 4 draws. Arsenal beating Man Utd on the same day meant that we were top of the table. It was a shit game but a great couple of days up there. Akinbiyi missed a one on one, IIRC.

I printed it off to send to my Arsenal and Tottenham supporting housemates from Uni. I genuinely thought that was as good as it would ever get.

3 points for a win came in 11 years before Premier league started, 1981.

One of my customers had it printed off and framed in his office .
How good it seemed at the time.
