Re: Promotion to the prem.
assuming wolves are safely up, fulham because it is a cracking away day, and millwall just for the novelty of it. wouldn't be opposed to bristol city but they're sliding down the table and i think they peaked too early.
villa can rot for a couple more years and sign about the european cup winning team none of them were there to see against burton and wigan. derby are a bit of a non entity, don't really mean anything to me, sheffield united could be decent as i've never been there, boro can stay there seeing as they offer nothing whatsoever to football, brentford would be nice. proper old school ground, standing away terrace

Re: Promotion to the prem.
A trip to Cardiff would be good fun.
I really liked the late - 70s.
Re: Promotion to the prem.
Ditto. Got locked in after and no one wanted to leave. Remember chanting about a boy's flares who was with the stewards. Been there a few times and it was always nasty on the way in from the station. Wasn't much fun driving there either with the smog monsters checking your car out when queued in traffic.StuartL wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2018 9:32 pmI only went to Middlesboro once, that was enough, a late 1-0 Hayes goal in 89, setting us up nicely to clinch the title with home games v Derby and Wimbledon to come.arrgee wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2018 8:26 pmCardiff if son ends up at university there.
Fulham as it's a good day out ditto Brentford with pubs on every corner of the ground. Unlikely to see Arsenal at either but I know a few out of towners who may invite me along to away end.
Anyone but Middlesbrough. Used to be a horrible place to go back in the 1980s.
I wouldn't mind dirty Leeds getting back again, but they are off the pace. Love beating them,

Re: Promotion to the prem.
I've lived in Derby 8 years now so definitely developed a soft spot for the rams; Derby going up would be fantastic!
Sacking Shteve Mclaren TWICE has certainly been comedy gold - they deserve promotion just for that!

Re: Promotion to the prem.
They are a proper football town. Good stadium and good support.
I'm probably showing my age, but Derby, Leeds and Wolves would bring back some memories.

Still think of them as a “big” club in terms of relative success, and a decent ground, like you would rather have Leeds, Derby, Wolves, Forest up.
Re: Promotion to the prem.
Just want dirty Leeds to go up so I can see them get hiding after hiding. I used to hate them more than Spurs! The fcuking number tags in their socks send me over the edge. Thank fcuk Arsenal never adopted that, though sadly they did adopt the wave to the crowd from the centre circle. Most dislikeable Xi to ever disgrace a football pitch.StuartL wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 2:36 pmWas up in Nottingham yesterday looking around the Uni where my partners daughter is thinking of going to next season.GranadaJoe wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 11:12 am

Hard to explain to the uninitiated how hated this Leeds team were
They invented so called professionalism like feigning injury just after they had scored
To take the heat out of a game
They could play as well as kick you though
Love these old pictures
This was at qpr where they were given a guard of honour as league champions
We had secured the title for them with a win at anfield on the Wednesday with a ray Kennedy goal ( wonder if herd went?)I had only been to London away games and semi finals at this stage.
Wasn't even highlights of midweek league games at this time
Athletico Madrid v celtic was on sportsnight
They were going to show any extra time in this European cup semi final but Madrid won 2-0( 1st leg was 0-0.) so it was just a John h stracey fight from the night before that was shown.
Qpr wanted more money so they didn't even show highlights on the big match
They showed the game where a Dennis law back heel for Man city sent Man Utd down at old Trafford.
Ray Kennedy scored his last arsenal goal in a3-3 draw at coventry( no coverage of this)
He signed for Liverpool the following season.
I did get taken by my grandad to qpr on the Tuesday
Brady scored in a 1-1 draw
There big bald centre back terry Mancini joined us the following season
A right character who found out he had Irish parentage
There is a story that when he made his debut in 73 v Poland
He nudged don givens during the anthems to say how long their anthem was
Givens informed him it's ours!
The past is a foreign country
Additional places to lose matches next season
Who do you want to see come up, and give new places to lose to (if Wenger stays)? Current top six are Wolves, Cardiff, AV, Fulham, Derby, and Middlebourgh, with Bristol City and Preston not far off.
Re: Additional places to lose matches next season
Unless the mods are doing fcuk all (again ) today, I would expect this to be merge in super quick time cos I think there is already another thread on this subject

Re: Additional places to lose matches next season
