Damn Newcastle. Didn't realize they were rolling in money back then
And Sunderland was the 17th wealthiest club and Sheffield W was the 20th wealthiest, now they're both in League One.

Parma being up there is a whirlwind as well. And a club from Scotland made it? Wow

Damn Newcastle. Didn't realize they were rolling in money back then Newcastle were beast in the 90's, but didn't have the bottle to win the title. The 95/96 season was a classic, Newcastle went 10 points clear by Christmas but then had one of the most famous late-season meltdowns ever. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995%E2%80%9396_Newcastle_United_F.C._season

Ah they had Faustino Asprilla that year. He is regarded as a legend in Colombia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995%E2%80%9396_Newcastle_United_F.C._seasonThat stretch between February 20th and April 8th looks rough. To add insult to injury, looks like their losses to Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers happened in the last minute of the game. |

The loss to Liverpool is often voted the best game in Premier League history. It pretty much ended their title challenge and the nature of the loss summed up their season. |

It's kinda comical that Liverpool did the same to them a year later, another 4-3.

Canada could officially qualify for the world cup with a win (or draw, depending on how other results shape up) over Costa Rica tomorrow.

2 goals from Gareth100, including an amazing free-kick, give Whales a 2-1 victory over Austria. Just one more win will get us to the World Cup.

Italy got knocked out of the World Cup...by MACEDONIA of all teams. Weird past few years for Italy. Won the Euros, but it's sandwiched by consecutive World Cup absences

Classic shitty CONCACAF. Away game in central america, worst refs on earth, crappy pitch and insane fans. Only half time but this game is pretty much a write off.

Full time Costa Rica 1-0 Canada.
Canada fully dominated the game despite playing with 10 men.

Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, and Uruguay all qualified. Uruguay qualified today thanks to a sketchy ref-assisted win against Peru. That leaves us with just one final spot, which will be decided between Peru, Colombia, and Chile

I should start attending these matches more often. You don't see games like that in the Premier League.  |
