In answer to the OP's question, the last time it happened was in 1924 when Quentin Bumjoy went down with hair strain, Herbert Naked-Molerat was subbed due to uranium poisoning from Dr Phineas O'Grady's patented health tonic, Ray Jinghorn caught typhoid from the club tea urn and Lazarus Dungtrouser was deported to Matabeleland to face historic charges of outraging the wildlife.
Actually, upon reflection, I don't think that last one counts. |

I know it was against Wednesday but I was very impressed with his performance today. He closes people down quickly and always seems to be prepared to make those speculative runs that give our lads an option. Doesn't always work but at least he's there! Two lovely finishes today (really loved his second). |

Mouth-breathing fcktards for whom the touch of a woman costs £20 and takes place behind a fcking skip, after which they go back to their Mum's spare room, open their Fray Bentos and take out their miserable excuse for a life on anyone they feel they might be able to hurt.
I cannot despise them enough. |

This is like a recreation of a game created by stitching together clips of 462 matches that flash up every 3 tenths of a second. |

Not great but still better than the turgid spooge served up against WBA. |

I reckon the spinners will make good use of it the the third innings. |

No Frey on the bench but Kolli is available once again. Much happier with that starting XI: Hayden for Varane was a swap most of us would have called for. Mbengue back too but with Dembele ahead of him today. This looks a strong side for us. |

Good work all round. He's the kind of player who seems to fit the 'cult hero' category: might not be the biggest but you'd rather have him on your team than face him!
Doesn't mention how long he's signed for but I didn't really expect anything else. I assume it is more than a one year extension but somewhat less than a life sentence. |

Reply | Chaotic team selection, chaotic outcome as R's slip at West Brom - Report
at 14:31 31 Dec 2025
Team selection was puzzling, at best, and the way things played out subsequently weren't a surprise to me. I think that everyone sees the necessity to rest players who have been potentially overused in this Christmas/New Year sequence but, come on, Field up top when we've got Kolli and Burrell on the bench? If Kolli is fit enough to be a replacement then stick him in and replace him later if necessary! Obviously, this comes with the caveat that I know absolutely sod all about squad fitness etc, however, by the same token, I know nothing about Art but I know what I hate!
I don't blame Stephan for playing Esquerdinha with RND's loading in mind because who else is there? Same for Morgan, though only up to a point as Cook was on the bench. But the 4 x subs at once? Come on, anyone with eyes could see that Saito wasn't cutting it, ditto Varane: hook them early and see what shakes out!
I rarely get the arse with team selection(s) but this one wound me up a bit. [Post edited 31 Dec 2025 14:33]

Trump has threatened nuclear strikes against the terrorist narco-state UK, very bad people, for missing out on a Knighthood.
Allegedly. |

Everyone except Kone in a flat back 9?
Looks to me like JB at right back, Field CB with Morgan playing ahead of Madsen and Varanne. Poku and Saito wide of Kone. A lot resting on Esquerdinha, if so.
Although, quite frankly, that 9-0-1 formation might be just as likely. |
