(not the last day of the season but had a big bearing on it) Answer: A seminal moment in the 2013/14 title race. Three points clear of Man City with three games le, Gerard slips v Chelsea to let in Demba Ba Question 5 Why was Jamie Redknapps's stoppage-time goal which put Liverpool 2-1 up against Blackburn in their last game of the season, given the silent treatment at Anfield?

Answer: On the last day of the 2006/07 season, Tevez scored the only goal in a win v Man Utd which kept the Hammers up.

Answer: Reading (v Derby County) at Pride Park in 2007/08 Question 13 On the final day of last season, for how many minutes were Liverpool top of the table? Answer: 21.

    'Black and Whiters': the Relative Powerlessness of 'Active' Supporter

    ‘Black and whiters’: The relative powerlessness of ‘active’ supporter organization mobility at English Premier League football clubs This article examines the reaction by Newcastle United supporters to the resignation of Kevin Keegan as Newcastle United manager in September 2008. Unhappy at the ownership and management structure of the club following Keegan’s departure, a series of supporter-led meetings took place that led to the creation of Newcastle United Supporters’ Club and Newcastle United Supporters’ Trust. This article draws on a non-participant observation of these meetings and argues that although there are an increasing number of ‘active’ supporters throughout English football, ultimately it is the significant number of ‘passive’ supporters who hamper the inclusion of supporters’ organizations at higher-level clubs. The article concludes by suggesting that clubs, irrespective of wealth and success, need to recognize the long-term value of supporters. Failure to do so can result in fan alienation and ultimately decline (as seen with the recent cases of Coventry City and Portsmouth). Keywords: fans; Premier League; supporter clubs; inclusion; mobilization Introduction Over the last twenty years there have been many changes to English football. In this post- Hillsborough era, the most significant change has been the introduction of a Premier League in 1992 and its growing relationship with satellite television (most notably BSkyB). This global exposure has helped increase the number of sponsors and overseas investors and has

The first club outside Ulster was Dublin Association Football Club which was formed in 1883. At the time, the Irish Football Association (IFA) was the governing body. Based in Belfast, it found it difficult to promote football throughout the country. This led to the formation of the Leinster Football Association in 1892 as the game became more popular in the area. However, there was always a feeling among clubs from outside the Belfast area that the IFA favoured Ulster based clubs-especially when selecting sides for international matches. Despite this, it was not until after the 1916 Rising and the rise of Nationalism that southern affiliates, such as the Leinster FA, took an aggressive approach in their dealings with the IFA. The clubs often threatened to break away, and in early 1921, Bohemians, St. James's Gate and Shelbourne all withdrew from the Irish League, though all three sides decided to remain involved in Cup competitions.

    Premier League Managers – Nationality and Club Playing History Since 1992

    Premier League Managers – nationality and club playing history since 1992 Football Economics September 2016 Football Economics Introduction In this analysis, we look over the life of the Premier League to consider the extent to which top-flight clubs still look to former players to manage their club and at the shifting mix of nationalities of top-flight managers with a focus on English managers. Eddie Howe at Bournemouth and Alan Pardew are examples of English managers returning to the teams they played for. Still, these are the only two English Premier League managers to have played for their club, and indeed, only one other current Premier League Manager has done so. But how does this compare to the longer- term trend? Of course, managers that have a successful history at a club usually enjoy at least a period of goodwill from fans and, along with a familiarity with the club’s set-up and area, and the fact they may already be on the coaching staff could make a player a more likely candidate to be manager. Premier League Managers that played for their club Our analysis starts at the end of August 1992 and considers five year intervals. In 1992, 9 of the 24 managers (the league shrinks to 20 in all other years) had played for their club. Examples include George Graham at Arsenal, Peter Reid at Manchester City and Graeme Souness at Liverpool.

  • English Premier League: Should Mike Ashley Sell Newcastle United This Summer?

    English Premier League: Should Mike Ashley Sell Newcastle United This Summer?

    English Premier League: Should Mike Ashley sell Newcastle United this Summer? Author : Dean Perretta Ever since being crowned SKY BET Championship 2016-2017 champions last season, Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle United have weathered many twists and turns throughout their touch and go re-acquaintance in the fast lane of the English Premier League. Irrespective of a tenth place finish in the EPL in 2017-2018, Newcastle United’s most gravest challenge moving forward remains predominately on a questionable transfer policy stemmed by the universally unpopular ownership of Mike Ashley, coupled alongside the unsteady direction of the club, which has seen a perennial yo-yo effect rallying back and forth between the EPL and Sky BET Championship. During the last two consecutive transfer windows, Newcastle United owner Ashley relatively deprived Magpies fans and the club of standard bearing acquisitions which are conveniently suited to the lofty level and intensity of the EPL. 1 / 3 In the summer of 2017, Newcastle United purchased six players (Christian Atsu, Joselu, Mikel Merino, Javier Manquillo, Jacob Murphy and Florian Lejuene), whereas 13 players departed from Tyneside. Of the six Newcastle United players which arrived at St. James’ Park in the summer of 2017, Newcastle United spent almost £45 million. Conversely, of the 13 players which departed from the North East last summer, the Magpies made just £17.5 million. Furthermore, the last transfer window in January 2018, the Mapies did not permanently purchase any players and decided to loan three players until the end of the season (Islam Slimani, Kenedy and Martin Dubravka). Newcastle United did not sell any players during the January 2018 transfer window, rather loaning out 10 players (Aleksander Mitrovic, Jack Colback, Freddie Woodman, Rolando Aarons, Henri Saivet, Jamie Sterry, Daniel Barlaser, Kyle Cameron, Ivan Toney and Adam Armstrong).

    UK Data Archive Study Number 3996 Teenage Smoking Attitudes Survey, 1997 Young teenagers and smoking A technical report ofthe Teenage Smoking Attitudes survey carried out in England in 1997 1 Introduction 1.1 Background In 1989, the HEA launched its Teenage Smoking Campaign, which aimed to discourage young people from taking up smoking and to encourage existing smokers to stop. The HEA commissioned eight tracking surveys ofchildren's attitudes to smoking between 1989 and 1994 tn ~\1':1ll1':1tp. thpir ....

'Respect'. The Respect campaign seeks to address the reasons why young people start to smoke and to destabilise the fashionable perceptions ofsmoking. It seeks to make non-smoking part of a positive lifestyle which is relevant for both smokers and non-smokers. The 1997 Teenage Smoking Attitudes (TSA) survey was the second in a series of three annual surveys carried out in England by the Social Survey Division of ONS on behalf of the Health Education Authority (HEA). The Survey's dual purpose was to evaluate the Respect campaign and to study teenagers' attitudes and beliefs about smoking. In particular, the 1997 survey focussed particularly on cigarette dependency and children's awareness of smoking-related articles, promotions and advertising in the media. Since 1982, Social Survey Division has carried out a biennial series of surveys of smoking among secondary school children for the Department of Health. These surveys provide the official figures for the prevalence of smoking among children aged 11-15 in England.

  • Seasonal Home Advantage in English Professional Football; 1974–2018

    De Economist https://doi.org/10.1007/s10645-020-09372-z Seasonal Home Advantage in English Professional Football; 1974–2018 Thomas Peeters1,3 · Jan C. van Ours2,3,4,5 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract We study seasonal home advantage in English professional football over the period 1974 to 2018. We distinguish between absolute home advantage, enjoyed equally by all teams in a division, and relative home advantage, which difers among teams in the division. We fnd that absolute home advantage is substantial, ranging from 0.59 to 0.64 in terms of points per game or 0.44 to 0.46 in terms of goal difer- ence. Likewise, clubs difer substantially in the relative home advantage they enjoy. Relative home advantage is positively related to within-team variation in attendance and the use of an artifcial pitch. Despite big cross-divisional diferences in attend- ance, absolute home advantage is about the same in all divisions. Finally, there is a substantial decline in absolute home advantage over time that materializes equally across divisions.

    Dons Reject Luton Merger Wimbledon's Administrators

    Last Updated: Tuesday, 10 June, 2003, 10:43 GMT 11:43 UK Dons reject Luton merger Wimbledon's administrators have ruled out the possibility of a merger with Luton Town. Luton's designate chief executive John Gurney had suggested the Second Division club might try to buy or merge with the financially- troubled Dons. Milton Keynes looks to be the only option for But administrators Grant Thornton the Dons told the BBC Sport website that they were concentrating on negotiating a takeover of Wimbledon with a consortium of businessmen in Milton Keynes. "It doesn't look attractive to me at all," Grant Thornton partner Nick Wood said of the Luton proposal. Wimbledon, who were placed in administration last week, are due to move to Milton Keynes for the start of next season with games being played initially at the National Hockey Stadium. The Milton Keynes consortium would need to come up with about £5m to take over control of the club from its Norwegian owner Bjorn Gjelsten. The administrators will have a meeting with the Football League on Thursday, at which they are expected to be asked for guarantees that Wimbledon will be able to compete next season. "The ideal situation is that the Milton Keynes local investors come up with some money," said Wood. "We have been having meetings The club should attract crowds constantly for the past four or five in Milton Keynes of at least 6,000 - days. It is going forward and they which would make it much more are still very enthusiastic. viable Administrator Nick Wood "The club can't survive on the crowds it was getting at Crystal Palace.
