Overnight train from Boston to Chicago - well getting off at Waterloo, Indiana at 8am (hopefully with time to see the battlefield) for a couple of nights in the legendary Fort Wayne before continuing on to Chicago

Anyone else think the Spurs fans have been a disgrace. Support your own side FFS 

Exactly what I texted to my Tottenham supporting mate and, to be fair, he did agree.

Train from New York to Boston for 4 nights yesterday 

Fort Wayne getting ever closer 

When he was sent off at Orient there was a story that he couldn’t get into the dressing room so he kicked the door down

After that we used to sing “Kenny kicked the door down”

My Mrs loves the garden centre at Brigg (Lincolnshire)

That’s what we’ve been told but we insisted 

Me and the Mrs are 3 days into a 21 day visit to the US visiting

New York, Boston, Fort Wayne, Chicago, Washington, Baltimore (day trip), Philadelphia and back to New York

We don’t normally risk planning a May holiday due to the play-offs but by December I thought  we might be safe 

Was Bradshaw making his debut at Wrexham when he scored? 
I remember something about him saying on the team coach “I thought Wrexham played in red” and somebody saying “yes they do” and Bradshaw saying “why are all the fans on the streets wearing blue and white scarfs”

I can’t remember if Proudlock was VERY good or very bad that day. But there was something about that game and him wasn’t there?

99.99% chance he was VERY VERY bad 

Thanks Chelters

Great stuff 

WOW that's incredible

I thought it was going to be from a South American game

The urinals in the Bridge Inn are pretty special

If you ever find yourself in Rotherham (not on a match day) the Cutlers is the best place to drink

Great character, great beer selection, great music venue, 5 minute walk from the station

RIP Spider

scoring in those two fantastic matches

yes it was plain blue on the other side but didn't have a badge or anything on the front

I cut most of my hair off and beard in 1977 when i got into punk

what do you think?

This was a picture from a Sunday paper of the Ken Knighton winning goal in the 88th minute against Bolton in 1974

I got a proper print of it from the paper - that's me circled just above the keeper's head

All those three extra glorious games against Arsenal in 1979 and the welcome income they bring in  - gone for good.

(Appreciate rounds one and two also went to a replay that campaign)

One of my favourite facts ever

We played NINE FA Cup games that season and didn’t make it to the 4th round

The support we took to the three replays at Leicester was incredible for an average Third Division team 

RIP Bricat

He was featured receiving his award and giving an interview at the end of the EFL highlights programme 

I know it was L**ds but they had two blatant hand ball penalties not given

i know it was L**ds but making such deadful mistakes at the top of the table could cost a team tens of millions of pounds by not going up 

Pato got the crowd going too in the first minute of the second half chasing across their back four and making the last guy blast it out for a throw

it was brilliant later on when he went chasing a back pass to their goalie and one of their centre half’s tried to block him and just carried on running and flattened him 

Do we really want them hanging around with that shower that played on Monday?

You take one snap shot of the game. When we get a corner I don't really bother seeing the outcome as 75% chance it hits the front defender.

The number of piss poor goals conceded at our end from corners or free kicks is pathetic 

 

More like 90%
if we know this is going to happen why don’t we put someone in front of the defender and maybe we’ll get a flick on or a header back to the corner taker
