I saw a Charlton game at the Valley once, where we were losing 5-1, against a team managed by the great Bill Shankley and down to 10 men, but we won 7-6. Hard to believe
I'm talking about it too much but it fascinates me too much
Games can only be held on Saturday 29th February once every 28-years
Not quite true. Because 1900 wasn't a leap year, there would have been a gap longer than 28 years before the days of the week and dates matched up again. I haven't looked up what the effect was, but it would have meant either less or more than 28 years between such Saturdays. The same will happen with 2100, 2200 and 2300 not being leap years but we won't be around. Indeed, the way things are going, the human race may not be around.
Errrrr ....I think you mean that 2100, 2200 etc will be leap years but the 29th February won't necessarily be a Saturday.
Edit: I was wrong. 2100, 2200 , 2300 won't be leap years but then 2400 will be
The highest attendance for a match at Old Trafford was for Grimsby v Wolves.
The highest attendance ever in the Fourth Division was for Palace v Millwall (just over 50000).
The Palace v Millwall bit is quite believable but the over 50k is a big exaggeration. 37,774.
Sorry. Just checked. You're right. It was in 60/61. Millwall won 2-0. Palace also had the highest average attendance for the fourth division that year: 19,020.
Sorry to big up Palace. There were permanently shit before the 60s though.

They will always be shit - however good they are, they are shit - ground, ultras, general fakeness - just shit. They are only good at acne and virginity.
In 2013 Juan Mata and Fernando Torres were holders of all 4 continental trophies - Champions league, Europa League, World Cup, and Euros.
How can someone be the holder of both the Champions League and Europa League at the same time? It's not possible.
2010 - World Cup 19th May 2012 - Champions League Final 2012 - European Championships 15th May 2013 - Europa League Final
25th May 2013 - Dortmund v Bayern Munich
So by the time Chelsea won the Europa League they were still holders of the Champions League as that Final hadnt yet been played
That's splitting hairs. On that vein we could quite reasonably assume also that UEFA would have already have taken back the European Cup by the time they won the Europa Cup. So I still think your statement is incorrect even if it sounds nice.

I didnt come out the with statement Im just saying how it could have been worked - Until there is another winner though, the previous team remain defending champions

Juan Mata has won the FA Cup, league Cup, Champions league, Europa league, the world cup, Euros, the copa del rey, the charity shield, the u21 euros, the u19 euros.
The Isles of Scilly are struggling to hold on to their young people. There is no sixth form on the Isles so when youngsters turn 16, they go to the mainland. In addition, house prices are expensive, so they tend not to return until much older. As a result, the number of players in the league is dwindling. In 2008 Howard Cole, a secretary who referees the games, estimated the average age of both teams to be within the mid- to late-30s.

As if they don't play each other enough.........."There also exist two Cups: The Wholesalers Cup and the Foredeck Cup, which is played over two legs"
