Without looking it up probably our Behind Closed Doors European Cup game against Besiktas in 1982 - 1983 Season That attendance probably includes the stewards and people on the hot dog stall... Filthy club. Anyone else still laughing?... I am. Silly knuckle draggers. GOOOOING UPPPP GOOOOING DOWN

You're not kidding. The last two days I've practically wasted. Going on twitter, here and various other gossip pages and clicking refresh The worst thing is I'll be doing exactly the same next week

Still convinced it'll be Hughes... Too much of a coincidence for my liking

As well as this, do you think the new manager should be given a brief to get the best out of Ireland? After all there's no denying we're stuck with him. On his monstrous wages, I see little hope of getting rid.

Good young manager Martinez. I like Jol too, anybody who plays attractive football gets my approval. I'd settle for Martinez too. His team play very attractive football and he has a bright future. I'd also welcome a more continental approach sometimes. Someone who can unearth a gem from the foreign leagues, unlike a MON who will pay top dollar for supposedly established English talent (Warnock, Sidwell, Reo-Coker etc). Picking a manager on the basis that he keeps a team up on the last day of the season, every season, is not a good appointment in my view. That's not the basis and besides how far can you take a team like Wigan? The basis is he's a young and hungry manager who we could realistically get and could improve the standard of football we play. He has a good relationship with his players too

Does The General read these posts? Someone needs to send those latest poll stats asap
