My condolences Cloughie. I’d been worried about him as he hadn’t been at the games. John was a real gentleman. RIP

Still in South Africa - flying home this evening - and given our 100% record while I’ve been here, we should be nailed on for 3 points!

I'm not a great fan of heights, so the cable car didn't look too enticing. Did a walking tour on the apartheid era instead - very interesting.

Only as far as the tour bus went! Off to the wine region tomorrow, so I'll be celebrating the win properly!

First time here - but very impressed!

Yep, staying on the Waterfront. Beautiful sunny day - though it poured yesterday.

Looks like it'll be a great win. Sorry to miss it, but being in Cape Town is some compensation!

Home to Leeds in (I think) 1969. I remember that we lost 2-1, but Ernie Hunt scored at the Spion Kop end.

Away to QPR.

None. He was interviewed in the lounges before the game on Saturday and said that it was the manager's decision that he wasn't in the squad. Said all the usual about working hard in training to get back in etc etc.

Baker was in the lounges before the game. Said the Indian season finishes in March unless they get into their version of the play offs which go on until May. Said he'd like to come back here after India.

You're right that the club allowed too many contracts to run down, but as I remember it the exodus was caused by the sacking of Dave Sexton and his replacement by Bobby Gould. The players wanted Sexton to stay, so when he went, so did many of them. On the other side of the equation Gould had to...

Yep, we were at Villa Park on Boxing Day - the game that Graham Oakey got injured in. Imagine current Premier League managers if they had to play two games in two days!

Yes, some of the football in 77/78 was exhilarating. Some great games - Man City 4-2, Chelsea 5-1, Wolves 4-0, QPR 4-1, Birmingham 4-0 and of course Norwich 5-4 (which wasn't on bloody Boxing Day!!!).

Milne got very close to getting us into Europe - if Arsenal had beaten Ipswich in the '78 FA Cup Final, we'd have been in the UEFA Cup. As Ipswich won, they went into the Cup Winners' Cup and Arsenal took "our" place in the UEFA Cup.

Graham Oakey against Burnley?

As I recall, there had been Sunday games before but this was the first Sunday game between two top division teams (even though it was a Cup game). You're right about the 4-4 Torch. I remember that game as much for how bloody cold it was as for the 8 goals. I think it was just after we bought...

He came over to the tunnel side of the ground - maybe family over there? Spent a fair bit of time in front of us chatting to some fans near the front. was on the pitch for a long time after the final whistle.
