Spurs 9-1 Wigan

[Spikey M]

I'd 8-2 be an Arsenal fan. (Vs Man Utd)

Edit: reread the question. Never mind.

[SvN]

Chelsea 8 - 0 Villa
Newcastle 8 - 0 Sheff Wed
Man City 8 - 0 Watford

[thommo]

Chelsea 8-0 Wigan

Liverpool 9-0 Bournemouth.

Spurs 9-1 Wigan

Chelsea 8 - 0 Villa
Newcastle 8 - 0 Sheff Wed
Man City 8 - 0 Watford

All correct. Just 2 to get.

[niko_cee]

Didn't Liverpool beat Palace 9-0 at some point? Was that in the Premier League.

Also remember them smashing Fulham but that may have been league cup.

The 9-0 win over Palace was in 1989.

It was indeed League Cup, 2nd Round. A 10-0 loss. Thanks for the reminder. At least we only lost the 2nd leg 3-2.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Let's talk more about that 10-0 loss.

[thommo]

There's not much to say. We were in the 3rd Division, Liverpool were the reigning league champions. Just one of those things.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Didn't Middlesbrough put a shitload past Sven's City? Might have only been seven though.

[Pen]

Was just thinking the same. Was on the last day and it could’ve been 8-0.

I also didn't really remember that [not that old] - I think it was the 5-0 where Fowler scored 5 maybe or made his debut or something [turns out both of those things may have happened although not in the same game]. Good times.

[Manc]

I recall Poyet getting pumped when he was in charge of Sunderland. Who and by what score is beyond me.

[Ben]

Middlesbrough 8-1 Manchester City

[Dave.]

8-0 at Southampton.

[niko_cee]

Was that the one with a legendary own goal [or was that by a Southampton player against Leicester]?

[Dave.]

Three of the 8 goals were own goals (Vergini, Bridcutt, van Aanholt from memory).

[niko_cee]

In my mind Vergini's was an absolute corker. Youtube confirms.

[Danny]

Was that the one where he smashed it in from the edge of the box? One of the best

[Dave.]

So many bad memories from this thread. Can we talk about Poyet's great victories over Newcastle instead?

[Shindig]

No. No you can't.

Middlesbrough 8-1 Manchester City

8-1 was the correct scoreline, and yes it was on the last day of the season, in Sven's last match in charge.

8-0 at Southampton.

Dave is of course correct, and I'm glad we got to revisit these thumpings together.

Full list is as follows:

Manchester United 9-0 Ipswich Town
Southampton 0-9 Leicester City
Manchester United 9-0 Southampton
Liverpool 9-0 Bournemouth
Tottenham Hotspur 9-1 Wigan Athletic
Newcastle United 8-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Chelsea 8-0 Wigan Athletic
Chelsea 8-0 Aston Villa
Southampton 8-0 Sunderland
Manchester City 8-0 Watford
Nottingham Forest 1-8 Manchester United
Middlesbrough 8-1 Manchester City

[Manc]

Keep an eye out for Southampton v Wigan next season.

[Dave.]

Keep an eye out for Southampton v Wigan next season.

And at this rate, Southampton vs. Sunderland next season too.

[thommo]

Just a quick one this morning.

This season Casemiro became the 8th South American to score in an English domestic cup final. Can you name the other 7?

[Max Power]

Ricky Villa

[Pen]

Aguero must be one, as must Willian. Surprisingly low number of players who’ve done it.

Edit: Tevez too.

Edit 2: Missed the word final there, so at least the question makes more sense now 😄

[Pen]

Sanchez has probably scored in at least one final as Arsenal have been in quite a few.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ramires scored against Liverpool. David Luiz I think only scored in a European final. Maybe not even that.

[Spikey M]

Luis Suarez?
Coutinho?

[thommo]

Ricky Villa

The first South American to do it, back in 1982.

He scored in two finals, 2015 and 2017.

Ramires scored against Liverpool. David Luiz I think only scored in a European final. Maybe not even that.

Luis Suarez?
Coutinho?

Just 2 more to get.

[wullie]

Gabriel Jesus, Diego Costa if he's not officially Spanish

[Spikey M]

Juninho?

[thommo]

Gabriel Jesus, Diego Costa if he's not officially Spanish

Juninho?

Jesus scored twice in the 6-0 thumping of Watford. Costa has scored but I've counted him as Spanish.

1 more to get.

[niko_cee]

Fernandinho scored against Liverpool once.

[Spikey M]

Veron?

[thommo]

Fernandinho scored against Liverpool once.

He did indeed, in the same game as Coutinho. Full list below:

Ricky Villa - 1982 FA Cup Final Replay
Ramires - 2012 FA Cup Final
Alexis Sanchez - 2015 & 2017 FA Cup Final
Fernandinho - 2016 League Cup Final
Philippe Coutinho - 2016 League Cup Final
Sergio Aguero - 2018 & 2020 League Cup Final
Gabriel Jesus - 2019 FA Cup Final
Casemiro - 2023 League Cup Final

[igor_balis]

Not to brag, but I'm fucking shit hot at only connect these days. Me and my mum (who isn't great) outscore at least one of the teams most weeks. Got a 5 pointer musical connection this week anyone fancy setting up a TTH team?

[Ben]

It’s not on for another half an hour?

[igor_balis]

It’s not on for another half an hour?

my bad, last week's, me and ma record it on the tivo. was the 3rd place play off.

this was the clue: EDIT:it was the sequence round, not the connection round, so you have to get the 4th one



the answer was

Toggle Spoiler

times of the day, that's the morning wood (huhuh) from the Peer Gynt suite, I was like IT'S MORNING, then suggested NIGHT FEVER for the 4th one, so actually it was the sequence round, which is even more class and skillz

[Jimmy Floyd]

I like the first half of Only Connect, but the word wall does my nut in.

[igor_balis]

it's my favourite round, me and my mum usually get 3 of the groups at least

[Ben]

Here we go. Big fan of “Dennis” having no surname. Who does he think he is, Seal?

[wullie]

If there was a version of it that was just the missing vowels round and nothing else I'd walk it.

[igor_balis]

Here we go. Big fan of “Dennis” having no surname. Who does he think he is, Seal?

hahah. I didn't have a fantastic final, but I got 3 points on the fosbury flop question, and between the two of us we got 3/4 groups on both connecting walls. got a couple of other ones. the birkbeck lads absolutely smashed the missing vowels, fair play

[Manc]

Only eight Englishmen have scored a hat-trick in the Champions League. Name them.

[Danny]

Rooney
Rashford

[Danny]

Assume Kane too

[wullie]

Mike Newell

[Danny]

Pretty sure his former partner Shearer has one too, but for Newcastle

[Manc]

Rooney, Kane, Newell (damn you Wullie) & Shearer are correct.
