Remember it well. He came racing out of his pushchair, pushed over Colchester's dangerous German toddler and goose-babystepped up to the Holte End in celebration.

I would play Samba for JT
houriane for the bun man
and the icelandic David Platt for Bacuna

Oops, I should have looked at the date first. I do remember the incident with Bosnich but no idea when.

[Tuscans]

Team news is late this evening.

[cdbearsfan]

The match is tomorrow.

The match is tomorrow.

Yep of course it is, I knew that.

1979-80 League Cup Second Round, 1st Leg: Colchester 0 Villa 2
2nd Leg: Villa 0 Colchester 2 (AET, Villa won 9-8 on penalties).

Remember that first leg so well. Layer Road was rocking and you could feel the wooden floorboards creaking! and one of the best performances from a Villa striker I have ever seen

1-0 defeat. Meltdown.

1-0 defeat. Meltdown.

There's not a lot of happiness in your life is there?

Preston's elimination at Accrington means that we will be seeded if we get through. It also means that Colchester's defeat at the weekend to the same opposition doesn't seem quite as bad!

Less than 8K could be bothered remembering the way to the Sty tonight.

It's going to absolutely hoy it down all day tomorrow. I fear our elegant passing game may be no match for them belting it up front at every opportunity.

Colchester have an extremely young side looking at their squad list. Lewis Kinsella plays for them now. Just put £20 on us -1 goal.

I don't ask for much, other than a decent bit of pre match grub, a comfortable win in normal time, a swift getaway from the ground and back in my scratcher before 1am.

Make it so, Lord above
