Already told the wife that when I leave this mortal coil, assuming I go first I want this playing at my funeral.

I watched this on TV, I stropped when Everton equalised, threw the remote at the TV, turned the TV off. I found out we'd won when I spoke to my Dad later on the phone, he didn't understand why I was in such a bad mood. I think I was in a worse mood when I found out what happened at the end, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they beat Wolves at The Molineux, they will have won 10 consecutive opening league games in the top flight. The only team to have achieved that to date, is the mighty Aston Villa from season 1891/92 to 1900/01. The teams that were defeated on the opening days of those seasons were: Blackburn (h) 5-1, Burnley (a) 2-0, WBA (h) 3-2, Small Heath (h) 2-1, WBA (h) 1-0, Stoke (h) 2-1, Sheffield Wednesday (h) 5-2, Stoke (h) 3-1, Sunderland (a) 1-0 & Stoke (h) 2-0. The 1891/2 team that began that run is pictured below: Ironic that we have therefore been denied the chance to defend our own record then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe it was as late as 1994 when 2 subs were allowed and 1995 for 3. It must have been earlier than 94 for 2 subs? Closer to 84 maybe?

It was changed to two in 1987, that was increased to three (to include a keeper) in 94/5 and in 95/6 (the three didn't have to include a keeper), I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
