As if that would make any difference.

25th December 1992. Norwich top of the Prem. - Most goals scored. - 2nd highest goals conceded. Some things haven't change much in 32 years. (Interestingly, Oldham had the highest goals conceded but the 2nd highest goals scored)

1 point from a possible 12 in the last 4 games. We're 5 points behind where we were this time last season. Terrible.

Can't see the point of it. The opposition have the ball where they want it. Our poor passing means that sooner or later the opposition will get the ball from us then Norwich concede, as our defence is so bad. Has been for years.

I follow a German team for that No clashing of interests with Norwich, unless we get into he Champions's League.

Ipswich Vs Bournemouth still very much has a ring of 'League 1 fixture' to it IMO.

Brum will be there too with their £gazillions.

If this doesn't make you smile and/or well up, nothing will.

Klass class.

Well you do if you're a Brentford fan.

I'll get my coat.

Equalizer in 90 +5 ! Oh well.

There was an almost-Hillsborough at Hillsborough in 1981 for the Semi between Wolves & Spurs. The signs were there many years before April '89 but I really don't think the authorities cared; viewing most supporters as yobs.

I was at that match. One of the very few times we caught the club coach. Yes, very crammed. I remember seeing people laying on top of the back wall, with very little room between that and the roof. It was like a cattle shed.

Fair enough. I used to live on Alder Meadow Close, just off Hen Lane, over the way from the Arena... that was before the ground existed and the site was old gas towers. The idea was to sell up when the ground and surrounding area had been built and was much improved but I got fed up of living and working in Cov long before the Arena was built. I knew they'd put parking restrictions on Hen Lane... it used to be park where ever you like back then.

Park in Cov, Bedworth (if you dare) or Nuneaton and get the train to the Arena (obviously depends on how many are travelling as to how much cheaper it is)... Or park further away, walk a bit longer and get some free exercise, if that's a viable option.

In all fairness, most teams get mullard by Man City at the Etihad. I was hoping for more than 4.

I was predicting a scrappy 1-1 with Norwich getting a desperate, scrappy equaliser in the last 5 minutes but even that now seems a bit ambitious.

You can scale it. There's no magic woo going on between what £1 in '73 is worth today and 50p, so £5.26. Even in the late '80s I can remember there being a big price gap between standing and sitting, so that'll account for some of it.

Is this Leeds doing a Leeds again ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doing_a_Leeds

I thought that too. They got past the Binners twice in the league as well.

I genuinely wish the best for him (as long as he doesn't join Ipswich).

Alonso out !!

That's a lot of cookery books.
