I'll take you word for it.

My attention to it has certainly dipped over the last couple of decades but it certainly feels like they have been lowering scoring tight games over recent times (accepted just my impression).

Have there been any recent ones when more than 3 goals have been scored in the 90mins, I honestly don't know but have the feel it just become a foot note for the big PL teams except maybe when Leicester won it (last year?)

Man City 6 Watford 0.....

Memory does play tricks there haven't been that many classic finals really. Ours in 1993 was hardly one. 

What we actually remember is that it felt a special day. The build up, the pomp, the fact you got to see a full game live on TV. The match itself created memory points but the football was average.

The game kicked off at 4.45pm because the BBC wanted it to finish for some singing thing. Says it all really.

Jordan Rhodes should never hae been a Wednesday player in the first place, we didn't need him. Carlos didn't even want the player

But did the chairman listen? No, signed because the fans wanted him. So why was Ben Marshall never signed given there was 7492 threads about him every day on another Wednesday forum.

Then we need to do 20 year season tickets just to pay his wages. 

Complete waste, cheers chairman!

Tbf it was a decent finish, it was a pity for us Wednesday fans that we never got the best out of him and he never played his best for us. 3 times the cost of Andy Sinton who did the same.

I concur it was a fans signing but with complete disregard to the FFP rules by Chansiri. The pragmatic Carlos was never going to use him properly, when he wasn't playing to the strengths of the squad already.

The episode highlights the whole lack of a sustainable plan that arose.

Why would DC sign Ben Marshall?    Wasn't that Manadaric's era?

Eh?   The fuck you on about?

Anyone with half a brain could see he was making comparisons with the fans clamour for Marshall and then with Rhodes, not that DC should sign Marshall ffs.

No you read it as him saying DC should have signed Marshall. I'm not angry, just fed up of reading your utter fucking tripe.

Rhodes got stiffed by the management.

He and Winall were building a nice partnership until Carlos broke it up, those two were the top 2 english league goalscorers over the previous 5 seasons (IIRC) and deserved the opportunity to play together till the end of the season.

He rushed Hooper back, and set in motion the end of his  career by doing so

When we signed Rhodes on loan initially, Ben Marshall signed for Wolves from Blackburn on that day as well.

Naturally, I'd have not put two and two together but when it was announced we only signed Rhodes because the fans wanted him as the chairman said in the outburst, I've always wondered why Marshall wasn't signed when he went to Wolves, then Millwall, then Norwich.

Literally, Marshalls named was mentioned every pre season after Megson had him on loan.
