Albrighton at villa is going to be a superstar imo. Definitely one to watch. Good on the ball, has pace and a clever footballing brain.
Not suprised to see Bale there as the leagues top crosser and Hart as the top keeper.

McCarthys style of football at Wolves with the most fouls is expected although that title may well go to either b4st4rds or bolton by the end of the year. Two clubs full of kickers and not talent.

Following on from the Scottish Football thread and how only a few teams can ever win the title here in England, here is the league table of winners.

Wins Teams
18 Liverpool, Manchester United
13 Arsenal
9 Everton
7 Aston Villa
6 Sunderland
4 Chelsea, Newcastle United, Sheffield Wednesday
3 Blackburn Rovers, Huddersfield Town, Leeds United, Wolverhampton Wndrs
2 Burnley, Derby County, Manchester City, Portsmouth, Preston North End, Tottenham Hotspur
1 Ipswich Town, Nottingham Forest, Sheffield United, West Bromwich Albion

Man U, and Fergie in particular, must be desperate to overtake Liverpool in title wins. On current form they must be odds on to do it within the next 2 or 3 years, but who knows.

Interesting JTC, I would have thought the Spurs would have won more given their teams in the 60's. Can you post the FA Cup wins, I think we do a lot better in that one. You can obviously access the data a lot quicker than me.

What you don't see is the " didn't quite make it" years. Ipswich is a good example only winning 1 title but during that period they finished in the top 3 about 6 out of 8 years. Similar to the clarets
