Another 0-0 against everton came just after the 94 cup win, that was a bad night despite the trophy being paraded.
I remember the trophy being paraded. There was no reception at the council house because of some mix up so paraded it at the Everton game.

There was a 0-0 against Coventry, Monday night game I think in the 94-95 season, that was achingly dull.

There was a massive deluge at half time, so much so we thought they might abandon the game, but unfortunately they didn't.

I remember that, the most rainfall ever anywhere in the world in a 10 minute period It's the only thing remarkable about the match and the only reason I remember it.

As for the dullest....a game back in the mid 70's against Ipswich which ended 0 - 0.  There was hardly a single shot on goal in the whole game.  The game lacked such little action that a flock of pigeons parked themselves in a corner of the pitch, they were only ever disturbed by the occasional wayward pass.  Even Monday's mail highlighted the match as the dullest ever and had a picture of the pigeons rather than an action shot.

Had it been only slightly dull I probably wouldn't have remembered it.

Bren'd - I was there and completely agree. I posted similar views to you a few months back on this thread a couple of pages above. Utterly dull game.

In recent years the game that really stands out for me was against Boro.Even though we won 2-0 (Laursen scored at the witton End) it was devoid of any atmosphere to the point where even the goals were barely celebrated.Utter pap.Also that 0-0 with Cov mentioned above, that stunk the place out.
