Re: The Barclays Premiership / Champions League Thread
1980: ON June 28, coach Jita Singh emulates Choo Seng Quee's feat three years earlier with a Malaysia Cup final victory - a 2-1 win over defending champion Selangor. Fandi Ahmad, 17, scored the winner.
1981: SINGAPORE out of the Malaysia Cup for the first time since 1921.
1982: MERLION Cup, Singapore's first soccer international, is launched.
1983: "UNCLE" Choo Seng Quee, arguably the greatest post-war coach in Malaysia and Singapore, dies.
1989: FIRST foreign players for Singapore team - Yugoslavs Josko Spanjic and Boris Lucic.
1992: AN all-time record crowd of 22,071 paid a record $58,000 on Feb 15 to watch the Premier League's "Battle of the Giants" between Geylang International and Tiong Bahru CSC, which ended 0-0.
1992: GEYLANG International wins the Premier League title for record fifth season, bringing its tally to eight since the domestic league was revamped in 1975.
1992: SINGAPORE goes down to Division Two of the Malaysia Cup Semi-Pro League for the first time since the competition started in 1921.
All history, but I am sure you will be asking me "what's the relevance?"

Re: The Barclays Premiership / Champions League Thread
Those are facts, but I am not too keen too. I love Singapore soccer in the 80s, and then the 90s. Now, I find a huge dilution in the local soccer culture.
Gone are the days, fact.
Even if we win anything, it feels different. Opinion.
Bottomline is, the past is just memories.
We live in the present. And it is the PRESENT PERFORMANCE which decides whether my team wins anything or not.....
My allegiance stems from the club history, and the many years of fond memories, but I look FORWARD for games week after week.
Not backwards.

Re: The Barclays Premiership / Champions League Thread
Sprawler is just trying to say the scoreline is 2:3, same as Man U's score.
The similarities stop there.
Because the Man U Hao lians here cannot accept that Liverpool be placed in the same bracket (because the are 6 points clear at the summit of BPL)
Liverpool is not in the force it was. So they are gloating over it. Let it be.
So Sprawler, don't need to argue, they are talking about NOW (6 points clear at the top of BPL), so let them sing when they're winning.
Live and let live. As far as I am concerned, the last I check, we still have 5 stars NOW.

Re: The Barclays Premiership / Champions League Thread
Precisely. And that's our points. Nothing else. History will not change any fact on the current situation.
The words like 'hao lians" and "gloating" are totally unnecessary in this discussion. I have not posted anything to invoke hostility.

Re: The Barclays Premiership / Champions League Thread
Scorelines same but situations differ.
A Chery QQ can drive at the same speed as a Ferrari, does not mean that they are the same kind of car. Sure, you can argue that both travelled at 80 kph in KPE tunnel and CTE and PIE and even same 20 kph in traffic jams.....
But we know they are not the same cars.
Sorry, does not mean you come my place watch football, I must agree with you....

U say not same leh. Now who selective reading?
