Start with something like a korma and work your way up

Don’t. If we pick up one of those curry meal deal things at the shops, she’ll want korma. A jalfrezi is enough to blow her head off. I think if you’re sweating and eyes watering then you’re not really enjoying it, so that amount of spice is pointless and just stupid - but spice is important! In food, not football.

Yes that's why I said it as he was playing that day for you and committed that foul!

I remember Gallacher got injured for a few weeks and MacDonald came into the side, he was poor. Gallacher returned and scored on his first game back, everyone chanted 'we want Macca'. I don't think he was a success for us if memory serves.

Disgraceful challenge on Benno, followed by a few minutes of fans not caring about each other...

It’s time we see a mentality shift with games like this now. We’re not little old Coventry anymore, we have quality, we’re pushing, and should go here with no fear, that’s what I want to see. I hope we don’t rock up, defend and look fearful.

We took it to them there last time we played there and should have been 2 up just before they equalised.
Dewsbury Hall changed the game but if Godden had scored that sitter we would have won.

Reading their forum they really are a weird bunch
They pretend to not care but sing a song about us.
They go on like it's our big day out when we sell out away games more often than not.
They go on about how it's a much bigger game for us but they'll absolutely hate it if we should turn them over in their own back yard.
Basically for me it's a local derby which should have an edge and both sets of supporters should give more than a fuck about it.

I genuinely do not see why they are trying to hide it - I make no bones of the fact, as much as I dislike them, I get myself bang up for and look forward to games against these, Blues, WBA infact any Midlands side West or East more than I do unordinary matches like Swansea and QPR

Games are better with a bit of added spice and needle

Def got a sweat on now as kick-off approaches. Too many knicker stitchers in the family for it to be just another game.

Not loving our record at their place but Lampard has kicked most of our bogey teams/fixtures into touch so fingers crossed

He was full of class but his best days were behind him. Stuart Robson too. If he wasn't crocked he'd have been England captain. Neither would probably have played for us though.

Haji was very unlucky to hit the bar, I think the keeper might have touched it but it would have snapped his fingers if he'd got more of it. 2-0 was game over bit of a sickener that one

Chris Marsden was another decent player we had who looked like he had a slight limp after an injury. Went on to Southampton and did well. I wished we'd of kept him as always liked him. Think it was New Years Day 94, we won 2-1at Spurs and he absolutely ran the show

Still maintain all Penenka pens would look shite, if the GK stands still.

I think we didn't keep him due to alleged off the field issues at the time.

Still can't get over how cautious the Leicester fans are over this match.

They are above us in the table, on home soil. Are they playing badly but getting results?

We are quite comfortably the best team in the league so far based on all the underlying stats. Have to take the opposition into account of course but any team should be wary of us.

Panenkas generally get way too much hate. Missing a penalty with a panenka is no worse than missing any other penalty, but people get really worked up about them. Plus, they look awesome when they work.

Yep, usually a bit of a graveyard ground for us - Seen us take some pastings there in the mid to late 00s

Best I have seen is a 1-1 draw where Marlon King scored and a 2-2 where we come from 2 down and James McPake randomly scored a bicycle kick late on - Vividly remember that one being a Sunday 12pm live on the BBC

They are being ridiculously pessimistic.
I think it's driven by the fact this is their worse team for some time but they're still a decent championship outfit

I think this was an agenda Robins pushed frequently, often comparing money spent by other clubs, players other teams had on the bench etc. Even after we had spent the Hamer and Gyok money.

Feels different under Lampard. We have the quality and there’s no excuses now.

Agree with this but Robins backs to the wall mentality helped a lot in the "bigger games" we played better as the underdog. Granted now our squad is infinitely better but I still prefer to down play it
