Never knew that existed, just had a look, that’s brilliant, going to use that. It was 2nd Jan 1971, beat non league Wigan 1-0, always thought my first game was 1970!

You were only 3 days out!

That's a game that always sticks in my head, went to Derby and then that night I attended my first wife's wedding reception.

So many questions???

facts are facts man.

Is that a fact?

Is that a fact?

If it is in the history section then yes, it is a fact :)

To be honest, that's where I get my information from on older matches. That, and my memory of the match if I went to it.
Most of the 60s/70s matches I was at - marriage put a stop to most away matches from 1975.

Chelsea have just released Ross Barkley, in the flesh, he is an absolute beast, what a waste of a career since moving to Chelsea, so much promise.

He’s got the brain of an over-ripened kumquat.

He’s got skills he’ll never be able to use as he can’t adapt to tactics.

Back to Everton then?

As good a shout as any. He‘s a bit like Ben Arfa or Taraabt. Capable of crazy things, but a bit of a liability for whoever he plays for.

Beat me by a couple of months (can't be arsed checking the A-Z ;) but probably late March v Coventry. I'll check the date tomorrow as City kindly put the programme cover on the kiosks at the ground.
