Award for the best “park the bus “

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Any from those 4 games in a row where teams might as well have just stood on their own goalline.

Huddersfield
Southampton
West Ham
Trafford United

Thankfully, for the sake of football, every one of them got beat.

And it was the defensive capabilities that got the headlines and not the 'gritty, churning out a win that is the hallmark of champions!"

Alty is spelt “Alty” not “Alti”

I’m not sure Alty or Alti are actual place names so there is no correct spelling. Kind of like “Corrie” or “Coro”.

Newcastle away. Closely followed by Chelsea.

I think Newcastle were harder to break down.

Regarding Chelsea, City had total domination at the bridge. At home the did resort to negative play which be a master stroke come the seasons end by protecting their goal difference.

I think stoke on Monday will outdo Newcastle away

It's Alty. Or "raggyscumbagbastard" for short...

Has to be Chelsea given their status as defending champions, I can understand the tactic from the bottom half teams but not from a team in 5th place needing a win to get back into top 4 contention. Even when 1 down they barely made a token effort to get back in the game.

Definitely this.

Which was the one where the keeper had a problem with his boots that he needed to sort out at every goal kick?

West Ham and Southampton both had that problem, however we scored against West Ham with 5 minutes to go and their keeper developed a new problem - he had a rocket up his arse.

The Rags at their home. They were terrified of us.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Worst Park The Bus: Rags away. They were at home and they were terrified of us.
Best Park The Bus: Clearly Wigan in the FA Cup - 1 chance - 1 goal - and out of the FA cup.

2 x Newcastle by a mile with Huddersfield a close second.

Fred, If it was Newcastle by a mile how can Huddersfield be a close second ?

Just askin'
