Sheffield United suffered another thrashing on Monday but are they the worst team in Premier League history? 🔴 Swindon conceding 100 goals in 1993-94? ⚪️ Derby's 11 points in 2007-08? @oilysailor takes a look at where #SUFC sit in the all-time pantheon of terrible sides.
With Arne Slot deal agreed, what exactly is his tactical identity? And how might this translate to #LFC's current crop? 💫 Back post chances ↙️ Cut back creation 🌬️ Aggressive press Analysis with @adjones_journo and @CDEccleshare for @TheAthleticFC 👇 theathletic.com/5442297/2024/0…
visually describe 50% of the goals QPR scored vs Leeds tonight
On this day 87 years ago, German and Italian planes bombed the northern Spanish town of Gernika at the behest of General Franco. This is the story of the Picasso painting it inspired, the town’s football team and the painful process of memory since then. theathletic.com/5438566/2024/0…
I think there might be a pipeline problem for left-backs. For very different reasons, compared to 10-15 years ago they’re less likely to be converted wingers and also less likely to be converted centre-backs. So where will they come from? theathletic.com/5444483/2024/0…
The top five non-pen scorers in the PL this season were all born in England Watkins 19 Foden 16 Haaland 16 Solanke 16 Bowen 15
the only player to assist more PL goals than Kyle Walker in April 2024 is Sergio Reguilon. What a month.
this is going to be the biggest Steele-fuelled PL title win since Blackburn in 1994-95
Jason Steele's passing choices are laboratory-engineered to enrage your dad
🚨BRAND NEW POD🚨 To discuss all the football, you can't say fairer than @acjimbo, @RorySmith, @oilysailor & @Slasherrrr: 🔵Everton win Klopp's last derby 🔴Five-star Arsenal set for NLD 🦅Glasner's great 🏆Sasha v @tomwfootball in the Inter Totally Cup pod.fo/e/234e34
Just realised Oliver Glasner looks like the cool 1985 George McFly from the end of Back to the Future. Anyone know if he’s written a successful sci-fi novel? (that does actually feel like the kind of thing you’d hear a Bundesliga manager had done, to be fair)

@TheTotallyShow @acjimbo @oilysailor @CDEccleshare @adrianjclarke I believe I read that Bartholomew the Miller was a tremendous young talent back in the day (perhaps the 🐐) until he blew out his ACL on a wet windy Wednesday in Wigan. Sadly, leech therapy did not work & he never regained his blazing speed, power or ability to change direction
Genuinely the first person I thought of.
If there’s such a thing as the long Noughties it’s embodied in the spectacle of now middle-aged Foals doing yet another of their flatwhite funkjams for teenagers on the radio on this day in 2024
@oilysailor @ademir2z Interesting you bring that up. I remember reading once that both Barcelona & Arsenal appealed to the ref to give the goal instead of the red card (Giuly scores after Lehmann fouls Eto’o). Barcelona preferred to be a goal up in a final, and Arsenal preferred to not be a man down.
