Talk:Double (association football)

message: The double in hockey is to win both the olympic gold and the world championhip in the same year. Sweden did this in 2006.
Looks like it's time to split this article.  I suggest having The Double (football) and a disambiguation page for the rest of it.  What does everyone else think?   CTOAGN (talk) 15:33, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: :I moved the section on other sports to The Double (Other). The Double is notable enough in the world of football to warrant its own article, free from the mention of other sports. Kronix1986 02:48, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed references to "near doubles" featuring the League Cup (aka the Carling/Worthington/Coca-Cola Cup). The English Double is the league and the FA Cup. The League Cup doesn't come into the equation. Kronix1986 02:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Double = the English league + FA Cup 

message: "...thus far no-one has ever achieved the elusive Quadruple: The League, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup, though Chelsea came remarkably close in 2007."
Except for Celtic in '67. It's not the English Quadruple, but it's the only Quadruple in history. --Cheezymadman 05:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quadruple? 

message: "Arsenal and Manchester United share the record of three double wins each. Arsenal are the only club to win a double in more than one decade (1970s, 1990s and 2000s). United's three doubles in the 1990s does nothing more than show their domination of English football at that time. However, by doing such, United proved superiority in term of playing at a high level for an extended period of time and also the ability to win with a same core of players which is an exemplary reflection on Sir Alex Ferguson's coaching. Arsenal's three doubles come in three different periods of football (1970s, 1990s, and 2000s) in which the style of football and the core of the team are all different. Trend analysis speaking, these incidents proved that the particular Arsenal teams was good for that particular year, hence they are all singular incidents without implication of dominance." - Just seems like a lot of editing has been done by opposing fans to get digs in one each other's teams.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.69.247 (talk) 23:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Delete this paragraph? 

message: This potentially gives a very long list including 
every team that has won the european cup but not won their domestic league in the same season
Every Champions League runner up that either finshed 1st or second. 
IMHO this would be a very long and not very illuminating list. I'm going to delete the paragraph as it stands but if somebody is feeling ultra keen.....

thread_title:  Delete this paragraph? "near european doubles?"

message: Did someone delete the paragragh refering to D.C. United winning the American Double (MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup) in 1996? That is sigificant as that is the first U.S. club to do so.  70.240.109.225 (talk) 18:39, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  American Doubles? 

message: This is a statement of intent for future changes: 
I will look to improve this article in future to complement the Treble (association football) article. I hope to narrow the scope, removing aspects such as "doing the double over a team in the season": such information in not only hard to complete a list of, but it is also pretty dull, trivial information. I intend to refocus the article—looking at these doubles: "League and Cup", "League and League Cup", "Cup double", "European double" (European Cup/CL and League) and "International double".
I will search for references to see whether the name "The Double" is accurate to describe just the League and Domestic Cup double. I intend to redress the current imbalance and bias, moving away from the Anglo-centric point of view. However, I hope to maintain the position of Preston and Villa's doubles as the first football doubles, giving the topic some historical context. I will reorganise related content into tables, organised into sortable tables (which will be able to list doubles by: alphabetical order, country, number of double victories, and date of first double victory). It should essentially be a collection of better versions of this table. Any extra prose information should be signified in the table notes as on Treble (association football)
The importance of "other doubles" should be assessed: I recommend that doubles including trophies won over one or two legs should be discounted for reasons of brevity. The "Near doubles" section looks like it could become unsustainable, given the number of occurrences. This should be discussed. I'd much appreciate help, thoughts and opinions on these matters. Sourcing is but one lacking area in the current article. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 19:23, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've made the table sortable now. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) 18:01, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's pretty much the best I can do. I don't think sort tables work with col spans. Or at least they never do for tech dunces such as myself. Good work on sorting out the tables. Sometimes the information is so desperately in need of a bit of organisation! Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) 18:32, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: ...there's no mention of Scottish Football. Haven't Rangers and Celtic both done Double?
:Was just thinking that myself, bit odd as I'm sure they've both won it dozens of times. Celtic certainly have as part of the Quadruple if nothing else. Tony2Times (talk) 11:12, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
