Loads climbed in when Liverpool played Everton in the 89 Cup Final

Spit - not sure what rumours you mean, but if IIRC you needed paper tokens from the matchday programmes from the final three league games at PL to get Dons end cup final tickets. So there were loads of them at those matches and in our end at Wembley It was a hot day and I took my jacket off and put it on the terraces beside me, only for a Scouser to piss all over it. Before the game I bought a yellow and blue cup final cap by Wembley Park station only for a gang of "scallywags" to take it off me (I actually expected worse). And going through the turnstiles another Scallywag pressed up so hard against me to get in for free that in another scenario I would have interpretated it rather differently. He failed. There's a Kenny Dalglish story somewhere about 120,000 being a Wembley for a Liverpool game. Such a shame that an absolutely great club has a minority of questionable fans tarnishing the image of the vast majority of decent football supporters.

Yes indeed RIP, was a good servants and sponsors of the club back in the day before we hit the jackpot.

Wassat link, Leddy? Doesn't work.

John Lelliott RIP

Exeter 20th in the form table versus us 22nd in the form table tomorrow night. Our goals and performance up at Huddersfield should give us some encouragement at least.

Do you know who I was might have been more appropriate

Edgar Davids had a “do you know who I am” moment in the Kingsmeadow tunnel followed by a full on melt down, while still waering his goggles. Comedy genius

OTD was the point that kept us up IIRc Barnet went down. Also it was the game after the MK FA Cup defeat so if it had been a draw as it nearly was all the focus Luke have been on the replay

Just checked his Wiki page, and apparently he was living in North London at the time, so I guess it made sense. Also his lack of quality as manager was crucial in our L2 survival that season!

Did we ever find out why Davids chose Barnet for his retirement home?

It was, Alan. And he spent the whole game no more than a metre from the referee instructing him on what to give and not give.

Wasn't OTD Edgar Davids?

Meadow, I use Now Tv as my Sky Sports provider, but am lucky in as much as it gives me Darts, F1, Sky+ and the odd premier league game if the will to watch it is there. That makes it worthwhile for me personally, still pricy ish £30p/m but not so much to be fully ingrained into having to take their entertainment add-ons. Wife is an avid Youtube watcher and has an ad free subscription, there's ton's of real life crime stuff and fishing programmes on YT from 4 local anglers she follows.

Hutchinson is a mystery. Sits on the bench, never really used except for 3-4 mins at the end of games. Not starting in the Trophy games, seemingly can't play 90. Not sure what kind of deal he is on but feels like we could do with someone who can challenge Smith and Reeves.

One thing I liked about the Sutton highlights was that a number of players on both sides were prepared to shoot from distance - something I would like to see us do more often

Well done to Lando Norris. I quite like F1 but not enough to pay Sky to watch it. Richard - my son - searched out various venues that were showing the race and found a pub in Battersea. Interesting that the BBC held off announcing their SPOTY shortlist. Norris is probably nailed on.

Smith doesn't do what Reeves does. Hutchinson is probably the closest to doing the Reeves job if we want to drop/rest Reeves.

Blackpool home game on 10th jan is off as they will be in the FA cup 3rd round

I also think we should be thinking the same with Hypolite and Maycock. Mix and match for freshness.

Silk you forgot the Man Utd rule. Player can be offside, run towards the ball, shadow and even shield the ball up to the penalty area and still not be offside. Which of course should have been offside.

I still think Reeves and Smith together doesn’t work. Either/or and also swap them in/out for freshness.

Reeves needs a kick up the arse /rest but who from our midfield riches can step in?

How are Celtic second in a one horse race? it takes some doing. Lost twice to Hearts this season.
