Zulte Waragem in the UEFA circa 2007. Played them in Gent (spelling?) because their stadium wasn't up to it IIRC. Went without tickets but pre-arranged to meet a local who would supply us with 2. We weren't sure he'd keep his promise but thankfully he turned up. Home fans were fine and we openly celebrated goals etc. A bit of Dutch courage may have contributed to that. Best trip ever. Don't think it will ever be beaten.

Excellent info, cheers. What time did the actual quiz finish? Just in case I need to plan around work if I go. Usually have a really early start.

Haven't been but also curious.

An elderly, not very mobile evertonian asked for directions as I left the match on Sunday so I found myself walking with him for a short distance. Maybe a generational thing but seemed a canny bloke and was thankful for the help. Shame he's an exception. I take it they've just came up with that Pickford song judging by the way they sang it on repeat.

They're forgetting the failed goal line technology incident v Sheffield United the other year. Can't remember exactly but wouldn't they have went down had that Sheffield United "goal" stood?

Personally I'd rather he hadn't said it. Hopefully motivation will be their only tool but they don't need any more. It was unnecessary.

Love that clip. Hoping for some of that today. She was talking about STID on Look North the other day. Apparently that bloke she was talking to at the time passed away in the last couple of years.

Forest and Chelsea draw then a draw for us would mean we finish above both of them. We lose and one of those 2 won then the winner would finish above us and we'd be relying on Villa to lose....i think.

To be fair, it's cup football...of sorts anyway. They were in it due to how they did last season. Doesn't really matter what you do in the league. This is a different competition. Top league teams don't always win the cups. Palace for example. When I was a kid 2nd division (championship) teams like Southampton, West Ham and even that lot down the road won the FA cup.

Am I right in saying that barring a heavy loss at Arsenal then we finish above any of Chelsea, Villa, Forest providing we match whichever of those teams results on the last day? My head hurts.

Can't picture it either tbh. Can just remember thinking "should of scored there", and being very relieved.

They missed a sitter at the end.

Just over 35K tickets I read. At least no regulars at the SOS should miss out with that figure cos that's as many as they've had all season.

Truly awful what happened that day. Watched "Unforgettable" last night. A documentary about the fire that had been on BBC 2 on Sunday. From the 1st sighting of any smoke to the whole stand being destroyed took about 5 mins. Loads naturally made their way to the back of the stand but with turnstiles etc locked there was no escape. Unimaginable the horror they must have went through. I'm sure myself and many other toon fans had sat in that stand when we played them in the league cup earlier that season. R.I.P to the 56 cruelly taken.

6 years (on the 12th May) since Rafas farewell on that glorious sunny day at Craven Cottage. A 4-0 romp. We were looking so good at the end of that season. Was interesting reading the report on nufc.com and talk of the possibility of Rafa being replaced by some has been, happy to tow the line. That's almost what we got except Bruce never was anything, so not quite a has been. It was the day of the flotilla up the Thames too. I can remember watching from a pub and a Chelsea fan was commending us for how good that was.
