The Billy Jennings equaliser is in the 1-1 at Altrincham in 1980.. We scraped through in the home replay.

For me..the Margate game at Dover.
We were absolutely atrocious.

At least he gets in there and doesn't chicken out...

Dark rum is my spirit of choice. Never makes me feel as wretched the day after as whiskey/bourbon..even the purest..does. If you can find it, Bumbu is very easy drinking.

This one was a big disappointment to me, as I really thought he would be..The Answer To Everything.

Excellent insights from the co-commentator after every goal..

The AmigOs..

No loss.The place was full of schmucks anyway.

Currently the last team to be promoted from any English division with Liverpool..

For me, whatever colour the change shirt is I can generally get along with..some I like, some i don't.But I always want to see the badge in it's true colours.

In a senior competition amongst teams in the current top four divisions..?
My maths says Liverpool followed closely by Manchester City. Feel free to correct and add.

My Oxford cousin, who's a regular at their home games despite supporting a big prem team, so no scars from 2006, let me know that he thought we were the best team he's seen there all season.

The Wakefield Arms -Park Road , The Lord Clyde - Capworth Street...Tommy Taylor's dad was the landlord if I remember correctly. The Drum and The Greyhound - both Lea Bridge Road , The Holly Bush and before my time there was a pub in Church Road called the Osborn Arms...made way for the Leyton Grange ...

Doncaster Rovers.... December 1997.
8-0.
I'm not sure what was going on with them at the time, but I do remember that they had quite a young lad in goal, yet none of their senior players gave him any kind of support at all. It's always great to see the goals flying in, but I did feel for him.

On current evidence, there's nothing dubious about our team selection. I think we don't have to fret about having a day in EFL court...

Wrong in a number of ways, but I'm still amused by it...
Celtic supporters song in tribute to Japanese fella Shunsuke Nakamura in the winter wonderland style..

There's only one Nakamura..
Only one Nakamura..
He eats chow mein..
He votes Sinn Fein..
Walking in a Celtic wonderland.

Anyway..
Have a ...

From recent memory.
Margate FA cup replay...
A 0-0 game at the new Barnet gaff a few seasons ago was also particularly poor.
Although there must be a few from earlier times that have just been wiped from my memory.

Can't come quickly enough for me...

I remember Echanomi doing a double or triple flip at Brisbane Road in front of the away section after scoring and getting a nice round of applause..
That said, I find it hard to believe that the management, coaching and fitness staff have not advised Paul Smyth against doing this.

As it was with James Brophy...get Khan further up the pitch and we'll get some benefit. Otherwise we're handicapping ourselves twice over.

While it would be great to make it four wins in a row.. Something in me sees a grim draw..and I am more than happy with that.

Given the amount of years they have had to endure down there, I really hope it happens for Wrexham this season..As for the other spot, I have a familial connection to Stockport so that would be nice..
Apart from that it's basically anyone but Bromley.

For me.. What Paul Terry did or didn't do, or the consequences of his actions are not what causes my distaste for this whole shambles.
What has really pissed me off is that, somewhere, among the powers that be at LOFC, somebody must surely have been aware of how divisive this appointment would be ...

I felt a small amount of positivity and optimism when Wellens was announced yesterday.
Seeing this gimp being unveiled, that's all gone now.
In a season that has fallen to bits in the most disappointing way this is a new low.
What a fu*king PR own goal.

And so it continues..
What a f*cking mess this is.
That said, I hope we go hell for leather tonight. There is now nothing to lose.
