This is the oldest unreviewed sports FA, a fact which caused me to take a look at this article. What I found showed a few issues that, while not overwhelming, would be best resolved by the FAR process.
Referencing is the main concern for me. Giants2008 (17–14) 02:41, 20 October 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
What's happening with the two unsourced paras in history? YellowMonkey (bananabucket) (Invincibles Featured topic drive:one left) 04:08, 25 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Much better. Whatever the dead link was, I can't find it now, but it was when I clicked on a link from The Times. Yes, there is a long-standing contradiction between WP:ITALICS and cite web: I will raise this at MOS, and you are the first to have noticed and pointed this out! The "Managers" section has problems; it has a citation needed tag, and we can't cite another Wiki article (Wiki is not a reliable source). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comments—I think this is quite well written. Could do with a few fixes throughout, but not a long job. I'd like to see this work on and kept, if possible. Overlinking is a major problem.
I'm a little concerned about the History section. One paragraph on the first 33 years, two paragraphs covering 34 years from 1945-1979. It's not really recentism (Chapman's era also gets close attention, with a paragraph on 5 years in the 30s), and it's not entirely without basis, focussing on periods of success, but I do think it could be smoothed a little. Also, not sure the Emirates info is in the right place in the History. --Dweller (talk) 15:24, 28 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
