COYS!

@GarethDace Enjoyed that one, thanks - one of my favourite seasons, I'd give it a "7" too! Everton, Soton and Norwich games all stand out. Also Barmby's header to make it 3 vs W'don. Listening to JP's "Ready, steady Teddy" when we beat Leeds. Rare goals at the Holmesdale Rd end at Palace too

@GarethDace @banananick @jonoblain Thanks, will enjoy listening to that tomorrow!

@GarethDace I grew up listening to Capital Gold Sport, but listening to the 2-1 vs the Goons in October 1989 + the vital wins against Southampton (3-0) and Oldham (2-0) in Spring '94 particularly stick in the mind..!

@MmarianneJoseph @justjojoro23952 I remember hearing “Gordon Bennett” as an expression as a kid in the 80s. I think it derives from “Gor’ Blimey”

@georgebann I really can't believe how thick they must be. Or maybe they're all too young to remember the last 10-15 years...

@MysteriosoX I think you're likely right - see the second question in the attached interview from earlier this year: https://t.co/SZLQYOZR44

@MrTimDunn A distinctive smell that I used to love as a kid, a humming sound as it pulled away from the station and bouncing all over the place on the Fast Amersham - my boys don't believe me when I tell them how it was...!

@ScarredForLife2 I loved Draculas - a core memory of my summers in the 1980s...!

@philmcnulty I didn't see wild celebrations in the stands or on the pitch. I saw Porro face down on the pitch for ages quite clearly overcome with it all. And in the North Upper I saw a lot of people like me who were just plain relieved it was all over and we'd stayed up.

@RKTweets That's very odd, I am sure I read columns written by her in the dim & distant past in which she claimed she was one of them.... Still, awful writing regardless...

@OldLondonW14 Not much can be done about the District Line, but there's going to be an increase in the Overground service: https://t.co/583uYBVQ7y

@kevhillsy Think that was Everton at the end of the 1991/92 season. Lineker got one too iirc. I think they were leaving gifts as it was known they were both leaving at the end of the season.

[Mike Lavan @mjalavan]

@DanNeidle Probably a waste of time as people will still keep asking without having read the article...! The only thing that I was wondering was whether it might be more accurately characterised as a payment for services rendered, though I suspect that would be very difficult to prove...

@KieranMaguire Shame, maybe it’s cos I’m a child of the 80s but have always found Panini football albums to be a lot better than the Topps ones

@SkySportsNews This guy is ridiculous, just a mouthpiece for Chelsea on Sky Sports, time and time again.
