Cracking cover - probably the last season Queens were in the top league too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland does well in this respect.

embow Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) There are only two in Englandshire that I can think of but may well be wrong. Port Vale and QPR. Possibly Everton at a push for a third one. Similar status as Partick Thistle maybe? Edited February 12, 2021 by embow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal maybe, or Crystal Palace - but I suppose you could say the Gunners were really named after a place in London (Woolwich). Probably a few others - Everton maybe, but that's a district of Liverpool itself I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hibernian" may be based a long way from Ireland but "Bohemians" play in Dublin which is even further from Bohemia, There's another Bohemians who do play in Bohemia which makes too much sense so they're generally known as "The Kangaroos" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate's an "Arab" and we went to the UEFA quarter final tie against Bohemians at Tannadice in '83 (?), the ground was packed out, must have been around 20,000 in that night - was a great United side but drew 0-0 on the night and went out on aggregate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Palace is also a place in London. It's where the football club first played but they've long since moved, and play about 1.5 miles away now.

19QOS19 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Three centre backs and two inexperienced youngsters up top.... gulp... You're a bigger optimist than me if you reckon he's putting 2 up top. Seriously the nick of that line-up. 6 defenders ffs. I'm hoping he's going with wingbacks but I'm expecting a straight up 5-4-1. If Hearts score early there could be goals tonight. If not it could be eye-bleedingly bad for the neutral. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 That line-up really gives me the fear To be fair whatever team he picked was going to look absolutely threadbare. It looks a containment job but as we all know we are hardly equipped for some rearguard action but we can only hope for the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
