    I was at that game. I remember ranting on the journey home about how Ray Parlour was the weak link in the team and if he was a regular starter we'd have no chance of winning anything.

    Nigel Winterburn was also on my shítlist too, for some reason.

    This is my Nicosia moment, isn't it

    Not at all, m. We all have these moments. You should've heard some of the things I said about Thierry Henry back in the day.

    I'd forgotten you used to be a supporters' club away game deviant.

    Actually we travelled independently to that game.

    But you've just made me remember that thick, sub-literate spastic Micky who I had to listen to for hours and hours on coach journeys around the country and who I'd managed to almost entirely block out of my memory until now. So thanks.

    I do remember a discussion on here about how travelling to away games basically constituted a form of mental illness. I think you were starting to think the same thing at that stage.

    You can understand people who go with mates and make a day of it for the bantz, but there were often people who seemingly went alone, with nothing but their home-made sandwich and compact disc player for company. I guess it got them out of the house

    I used to travel a lot with Maputo Gooner. He had some serious, serious flatulance issues

    I never met him, but he always struck me as an overly-serious young man. The flatus makes him seem more human, if anything.

    He had some serious social skills issues. I met him once, at Cardiff when I gave him a cup final ticket. He barely managed to mumble a thank you before scuttling off.

    Weirdo.

    I was ragging on Vieira at the time. He always gets sent off, he's a liability! Get rid! I was 8 though

    A couple of years later we lost there in the cup as well. I watched it on my own in a bar in Roermond. Another sad, lonely businessman evening, with the added seasoning of a defeat at Leicester.

    Good timez.
