I&rsquo;m unconvinced by that but here&rsquo;s what I would say we have learnt so far. Everybody agrees that our football is better. Going to Prenton Park is no longer done out of a sense of loyalty, it&rsquo;s actually starting to be something I look forward to again. Been a few seasons since I felt that way.

A skeuomorph is a modern invention deliberately designed to resemble what came before it. Arteta's football reflects that idea perfectly. It combines elements of Giovanni Trapattoni's Juventus, Arrigo Sacchi's Milan, aspects of catenaccio and the libero role, and even traces of Dutch totaalvoetbal. What it lacks is the relentless intensity of J&uuml;rgen Klopp's gegenpressing.

It was the one where we had to win to stay up, because it was the first season there had been automatic relegation from the Football League. Ever since, for fans of a certain. Again, matches against the Grecians have had a symbolic importance.

Tuesday night&rsquo;s game against Rotherham still represents a major improvement in the way we are playing. The result could be very important for us by the end of the season.&nbsp; Fri, 04 Sep 2026 08:31:08 +0100 http://imagescdn.sportnetwork.net/images/383/153430_209_185 http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/s637/st208845.htm http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/s637/st208845.htm Here we rate the players following our 2 &ndash; 1 victory over Blackpool: Thu, 03 Sep 2026 14:28:49 +0100 http://imagescdn.sportnetwork.net/images/637/102667_209_185 http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/s637/st208836.htm http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/s637/st208836.htm Corey O'Keeffe has joined Bradford from Barnsley for an undisclosed fee.
