On a side note it would be interesting to know what the ifollow viewing figures are for each EFL team as we are right now. If we had to play BCD I think our club's database of fans, which I think is very large, should come into play by sending out mailshots concerning the availability of ifollow...

Not for a club like Accrington he isn't. He knows that their take up will be relatively small given their small support base, and that they are a team that doesn't have much to play for. Its pure self interest on his part to end the season now. If his team was in a relegation place it is...

I don't think we were on Star Soccer that much either, although there were a lot of midlands teams for ATV to choose from. Anglia TV by comparison effectively had only Ipswich or Norwich, with Luton occasionally thrown into the mix, so they featured much more regularly.

Its weird but right from the off it just felt like our day. Our support had a massive impact I think, and raised our players performance levels accordingly. The press attention focused mostly on us too, which I think filtered through to Oxford and their players in a negative way, resulting in...

Yes, that includes cup games too. 51 were league games, so basically 2 a season. The season we were on most was 80/81, when we appeared 6 times (including one cup match). In 68/69 we didn't appear at all.

Surprisingly not. I thought the same as you, and remember always thinking that we never did well in front of the cameras. Anyhow 25 wins, 18 draws and 18 losses. Pretty good considering we were a lower half team for the majority of that time period.

It was around the same time, not sure if it was the next game though. Your memory is shocking though as we beat Villa. That game was probably Keane and Roussel's best performance together.

Here's another random question - Before the introduction of the Premier League (1966 - 1991) we featured in Match of the Day highlights on 61 occasions. Did we have more wins, losses or draws in those games?

Also not sure Murphy had a fight with Kenny Burns as such, rather than Murphy just kicked him in the balls and laid him flat out :)

Was that posted by Nick? I'm pretty sure I remember him being a fan of McBean (not so sure about Sterry and Burge though).

So to do this and avoid points penalties they would need 75% of members to agree to it. Is that 75% of Championship Clubs or 75% of all EFL teams? Either way I don't see how they could get it agreed. If just 7 teams in the Championship vote against Group Administration it fails - Any teams...

.......... but that's the whole point. You want some random person chosen by the EFL to decide our fate. That person might take a contrary view to ourselves, see some arbitrary factor like goal difference, where a few other teams are ahead of us, and think that we had a flukey season so far and...

Was Bobby Moore World Class? I know he was our World Cup winning captain, but he played most of his career at West Ham as part of a fairly porous defence. Not sure I actually ever saw him live, if I did it would have been at the end of his career anyway, but interested to know what the old...

Agreed. His fall out with Strachan was definitely a factor in our relegation from the Prem.

Watched 'Graham Taylor: An Impossible Job', the other day. Saw it when it first came out, but was good to watch again. I then watched 'Mike Bassett England Manager' which is obviously a parody of the former, which I again hadn't watched for years, but was good to watch again.

No, I want to see this season finished with matters decided on the pitch, where they should be decided, not off them, and regardless of how long that might take. In your scenario, would you accept the EFL/ Premier led pools panel decision, if it resulted in other teams finishing above us and us...

Because it's completely random! You're as well having a computer simulated game if you want to do this (which is also ridiculous). All ex Pro's decisions would be subject to their bias towards their old teams and against their rivals. How would we feel with a panel including ex Sunderland or...

During this lockdown I've started watching a lot of old football clips on youtube. From 1970 onwards there are all the goals from each season captured by ITV. Each season is covered in about 90 minutes, and I've just got to the end of 1973/74 season. It includes the Star Soccer Midlands games...

The loss of Keane and McAllister had a huge impact on the team the following season unfortunately

I've seen a few others mention this type of thing, but surely you're on the wind up Houch? Of all the ideas of how to sort this out, this is up there with the most ridiculous.
