1960-61. Yes,I remember it well.We were so good it was embarassing!!!! We had such a nice lead we could take the FA Cup seriously...and we did! This was the season when we did something that hadn't been done in the modern times. Unfortunately,like the 4 minute mile,other teams made it look cheap after the 1969 70 season.But Spurs played pure football.After that came Arsenal and their choppers of 70-1.Never the same after that...... God! What about those choppers...Storey of Arsenal,Harris of Chelsea,Tommy Smith of Liverpool and the whole Leeds United team.Made Vinny Jones look like a choir boy.....
It took five of them to compile that list? I'm looking for a new job this year - I've just added List Compiler to my possible choices.
Makes Chris Foys performance at Stoke even harder to handle not to mention Howard Webb disallowing Adesgoal v Chelski.

Our next away game is guess who?...Citeh! 3 PL home games til then including the game in hand v Everton. You'd normally say 9 points from them, but in view of things this weekend and what can happen, 7 from 9 would not be sad.
From the Beeb's live feed: Apparently, Burton Albion will be wearing their away kit at home against Hereford today as the kit man forgot to pack the home strip. Begs the question; what else did the kit man have to do today other than make sure he brought the kit? Sacked in the morning?
