I never realised it was that Peter Taylor - interesting. My first game 25 March 1963, against Sunderland, FA Cup 5th round, under lights. We won 2-1, Curtis and Bruck. Attendance given as just over 40,000, but thought to be nearer 50,000, as a gate was broken down and thousands streamed in. Went...

I think Doris would have screwed things up big style, but he’s now got the best excuse in the world when the economy tanks. I think he’s bomb proof now - 10 more years....

A positive UEFA meeting today, putting back EURO 2020, with the specific aim of enabling domestic leagues to be completed. And Championship teams met and unanimously agreed that the league should be completed.

In my view, we miss him when he doesn’t play. He retains the ball better than anyone else, which enables us to control the game from midfield. He seems to have become a more integral part of Robins’ thinking in the last month or so.

Happy New Year to all Cov fans, and their families!

You’re right, I was at the game, Arsenal were so much the better team, and Owen scored two late goals. Daylight robbery, I’m not an Arsenal fan, but it was a sickener to see.

I think that today’s performance was really concerning. We started very slowly but then got into the game, and were in control for 30 minutes or so, during which time we scored an excellent goal, but I can’t remember us creating any chances during that period of dominance. Just before half time...

Agree with this. Try to win every game we play, and yes, never forget the greatest day in our history. There are enough Managers, Administrators and fans out there disrespecting the FA Cup. For me, I always want to be in the draw for the next round. Just a shame that our draws in recent seasons...

I agree, I think we would struggle big style with our current squad. Obviously, I would like us to be promoted, but it would be a massive task for us to survive.

It’s the same price, and I’ll be paying on the gate.

Yeh, it’s what, 18 miles from Cov, and there’s the parking, and the traffic..... no chance.

Agree with that Neil, sometimes it’s not worth putting the boot in. By the way, are you there tomorrow?

I understand what you’re saying, but that viewpoint from fans and football managers is helping drive the drip drip reduction in status of the FA Cup. A great shame.

Agree with this, I think he managed us with dignity through a very difficult period. The sale of Leon Clarke at Christmas to our promotion rivals Wolves, derailed our own promotion drive. Interestingly, we played at Fleetwood in his first game after becoming their Manager, and posters who were...

Yes, and later, MOTD perhaps, idiot Schmeichel says ‘he doesn’t need to do that, he’s such a good player’. Then Quinn’s sending off was rescinded, proving he’d done nothing, in any case.

Thanks for that - my memory must be going!

Yes, I thought he was a nice footballer. Has he not had injuries? I read a quote from one of his Scottish managers that he should never have been signed, as he wasn’t fit when they got him. Motherwell or Hibs. For me, I have a good memory of him scoring a tremendous equaliser at Deepdale...

Well I gave this post a like, very funny. Although it may be well worth while playing Hiwula/Bakayoko up front with Max if Godden is out for any length of time, and then you may be proved wrong again! One thing is for certain, we need to play two up front. In the last two games I saw...

Yeh I know, and I’ve criticized his posts about Max in the past. Just saying there’s nothing wrong with the posts tonight.

To be fair, Grendel’s posts have been logical this evening.
