 2 points for a win makes teams put more emphasis on defence. 

probably why away goals in two legged cup comps being a tie breaker became a thing. 

dont think the backpass rule was a thing at the time either , i wonder the posession time of the goalkeeper (bet its bruce grobblaar levels of pissing about).

I had a flick through their results that season 

They had 3 0-0s in a row 

Didn't realize it was 2 points for a win, makes more sense now

Watford's 3rd league match of the season tonight.  All 3 switched days for Sky.  Played on both Monday nights and now a Friday night.  I'm annoyed on their behalf and glad that's not us.  And Burnley's first 2 aways switched to Fridays, the curse of the relegated Prem teams.

Fuck 'em, especially Burnley.

they only conceded about 16 goals that season. at least 10 less than other teams.

Some big games today in League One - in terms of teams that should be challenging for the top 6

Derby v Barnsley (both relegated)

Ipswich v MK (promotion fav v 3rd place last year)

Plymouth v Peterbro (Playoff contenders v relegated)

Sheff Wed v Charlton (playoff v playoff hopefuls)

[Johnnyrotten]

Oldham live on BT sport at tea time, v Dorking.  That's a reality check if ever there was one, but probably first time they've been live on TV for donkeys years.

[farnworth white]

18 minutes gone….Brentford 2-0!!!!

[Tonge moor green jacket]

4 up now.

 

[Mantra]

Wow.

[Dr Faustus]

Should've cashed out before kick off

Wankers

 

 

 

 

 

[farnworth white]

35 minutes….Brentford 4-0.

The last United manager to lose first 2 games of season was 1921…and they got relegated

[deane koontz]

Yo 😂

[Mantra]

Imagine just turning on your TV now having not seen the score hahahaha

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Superb.

And it's Liverpool next week.

As its the scousers, they can have a 0-0.

[deane koontz]

The fact they've spaffed loads on a midget centre back to compliment Maguire's shit defending makes it funnier

[White on Tyne]

I spose the only consolation for their fans is that they won’t have to travel that far home.

We could be playing league games against Everton and Utd next season….

I remember losing to Brentford in 91/92, Dean Holdsworth played for them. I was gutted. Bad day for the reds and pinks.
