Howmanheyman 26723 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Ajar have won the European Cup three times and by coincidence have three stars above their crest. Man City have three stars above their new crest. Is it because there's a three star hotel near Eastlands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleeToonFan 1 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 In the Eredivisie you get a star per every 10 leagues won. Ajax's are for over 30 as opposed to Champions Leagues, which they have won 4 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADP 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) I would be absolutely seething if I was a Man City fan right now Same here like. With their transfer budget in mind, once is a mistake, twice is a habit. Think this will seriously hurt him re his employers unless he delivers the PL title.

Alex 30330 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 In the Eredivisie you get a star per every 10 leagues won. Ajax's are for over 30 as opposed to Champions Leagues, which they have won 4 times It's from Serie A originally although I think it was originally something the clubs awarded to themselves rather than anything official. Juve did it first with their 10th win in the late 50's or early 60s and it was then adopted by others. Then it's come to represent European Cups etc. for different sides. The Dutch have only been doing it for a few seasons I think. Man City put 3 on theirs one year for absolutely no reason other than they thought it looked nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Aye, plus the Italian Champions have a Scudetto on their shirts right? City was to make it more European iirc. And Uruguay have 4 stars because they think the Olympics were just as big as the World Cup before the WC was made. Basically anyone will take the piss with badges.

The Scudetto came first, i.e. the league winners could wear the shield the following year, but aye, I think it was an extension of that. I didn't know that about Uruguay but the Olympics was, in effect, the world championship for football, before the World Cup came along. Which means that England have been World Champions 4 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenL 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I hate when, just because they've had a great result, every player gets praise. Ambrose and Commons were shite Everyone else deserves praise. I think it's time we as Newcastle fans accept that Forster isn't a bad keeper.

Brock Manson 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 No-one has ever said he's a bad keeper, just nowhere near as good as Krul is or will be. He's doing well there so fair play to him, not every keeper can say they've held a team like Barca at bay. Barca really cannot defend. Buying Song is definitely not a sound defensive solution when you're lacking centre backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I don't think anyone has said he is "bad" per se, just that he isn't that good. As someone alluded to, it's great for them to put in such a performance against the likes of Barcelona, but why can't they/Forster do as well against SPL teams on a more consistent basis? The Champions League being a distraction isn't a good enough excuse, they're in a league they should be dominating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Champions League being a distraction isn't a good enough excuse, they're in a league they should be dominating. They had the league won before a ball was even kicked, it's hard for the players to get motivated knowing that. Even the Celtic fans that I know couldn't give a fuck that they're not walking it. They know they've got the league wrapped up for the forseeable future and the only real challenge available to them is in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
