That was the day Tony Daley scored and we won 1-0 I think  ;D

It was the Daley 1-0 game, 12/04/93. We won 2-1 there in Nov following season with Whittingham and Townsend scoring.

A rare headed goal by Tony Daley. That was the season Arsenal had the north bank closed for redevelopment and they had that mural behind the goal.

Bizarrely enough we won at Swindon on 30th October 1993 - If the game is on the Tuesday, that will be the 30th October also.

I know this as it was my 22nd birthday back then...


I love those type of stats. That would have been our last trip there given that was their only season in the top flight. Without checking it up can anyone recall the game/result?

Happy 41st in advance by the way.

5-0 I think. They were awful.

That was the home game. I think it was 2-1 at their place.

So it was. I could have sworn we battered them there as well.

I think a young Stephen Froggatt scored in that game as well IIRC

Oh and thanks Eamonn

If my memory serves me right, we played them in the FA Cup one or two seasons before they got promoted into the Premier League and that is the game in which Frogatt scored the screamer.  If I remember rightly, it was a really tricky tie and we were fortunate to get away with a win.  It will always be the ground on which we got promoted for me though!!

I watched it on the owner's dodgy TV in a little bar in Cyprus. Forgotten till I saw the date in the post from er (counts back) lion in essex!  That was a good holiday...

Deluded twats. They do actually realise what we did last night don't they?

"Villa are pretty low on confidence. We can do them."
"Another very winnable tie. They won't fancy coming here and we should be well up for it. Was hoping for Liverpool or United away as it would mean I could get there but we can always have them in the quarters!"
"we'll beat villa"
"Definately a winnable tie.  Only really good player they have is Darren Bent"
"Can i just say, we'll beat villa"

That's a comfort.

For a minute there I thought it was just Villa forums that were fulll of 'deluded twats'.   :P

You would think Middlesbrough and Sunderland would be decent, local derbies and so on.
