Yep happy for Sunderland to knock Fwat Fwank out, but not sure how they did it - Coventry far better on the ball for all but extra time in the second legOriginally posted by Barnie7 View Postyes, it was like that..Coventry were the better team but outdone with last minute header in extra time from Sunderland.
Im not a Frank.L fan but he has turned Coventry around this season, lets see if he stays for another season

That’s the thing with him, chasing the spotlight constantly. If he’s going to make it as a Manager he needs to show he can improve a squad & get them promoted instead of walking in to a big club with the pressure to succeed from day 1.Me, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one.

Ajax conceded an equalising goal in the 99th minute against 10 men to go a point behind leaders PSV after having been 9 points clear. Here’s a recap of other title losses.
Other big title leads blown
In the 2023 Brazilian league, Botafogo were 13 points clear at the top after 19 games – but they only won three games in the second half of the season and finished fifth, with Palmeiras winning the title.
Just two years ago, Arsenal were eight points clear at the beginning of April and lost the Premier League title to Manchester City – but that was with nine games to go, and City had a match in hand.
The biggest Premier League title lead lost was in 1995-96 when Newcastle were 12 points clear in January but Manchester United won the title.
Inter Milan were six points clear at the top of Serie A in 2001-02 but ended up finishing third as Juventus won the title.
In 2003-04, Real Madrid were 12 points ahead of second-placed Deportivo La Coruna just 12 games into the La Liga season. Valencia ended up winning the title and Madrid finished fourth.
It could be worse for Ajax. Icelandic top-flight side Throttur made headlines in 2003 when they were top of the table halfway through the season (nine games in) but ended up being relegated.Me, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one.

I posted about this in the Henderson thread, they had a 9 point lead with 5 games to play, going into the last game of the season 1 point behind is a crazy turn around.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
