    Am beginning to smell a rat here. :)

    After trawling through 4500 results, the only 5-0 win on 2nd April I can find was against West Ham in 1985, but we've beaten them three times at the Vic since then.

    But at least I now know that this coming Saturday is the tenth anniversary of our last game against them up the M1...

    oh.... have to give it t you.... my source says:
    • West Ham United were beaten 5-0 in a top-flight game at Vicarage Road, but have not lost on any of the subsequent eleven league visits.

    Well, two of the other defeats we inflicted were cup games...

    Ok - research and dictionary time. Where might you find a meadow stream annoying?

    Well, if you build your house in a meadow...

    But not the answer I was looking for.

    Shrewsbury FC. Gay Meadow has a river running next to it that takes stray footballs away downstream. If it weren't for Fred in his coracle.

    No.
    It's a bit cryptic - something to do with rivers.

    You were on the right course with the river - only this involves two of them.
    A thesaurus may come in handy...

    Is it something to do with the River Lea?
    In NZ we have Meadowlea margarine - which could be Lealea or Meadowmeadow margarine. There is also the Avon River in Christchurch which means River River (or Avon Avon if you are a Celt)

    No - but it's certainly to do with rivers, two of them. A thesaurus may help with the 'annoy' bit...

    We had MeadowLea in Oz too, but being a traditionalist (& anti-French) I preferred butter. :)
