My son's first season (born just after 9am on 09/09/09 and a Junior Magpie before sunset), taken as a babe in arms to 7 home wins in a row before this match, this unexpected draw spoilt his run which I had hoped would take NUFC to world domination or at least a trophy every season of his life - Ha! This game thus sticks in my memory too. What a joyful season that was; the Championship can be, if only used as a year-long sabbatical and no more. Love the FFs, Scott - keep up the excellent work.
Great season, lovely trip down (recent-ish) memory lane Scott, though it feels like ages ago really. Two relegations ago. I’ve got great affection for all of them, even Joey, though someone should definitely have a word with him these days. Too many to mention. Chris ‘oft misspelt’ Hughton with his black-and-white-striped hair, and Colo with his curly lot I’m still trying to emulate despite me baldness. ‘One size’ Fitz Hall. Marlon Harewood, the softest big man ever. Routledge didn’t play his best stuff with us, but the first time I saw him I thought he looked PL class and, and so it proved with Swansea. Simpson and what he went on to achieve. When we won it, Plymouth fans and club were absolute class which I won’t forget. We were a class act all season. I’ve forgiven the ones that left pre-season, but here’s to the ones who stuck around:)

Thanks for the great flashback, Scott. Here’s to an easy victory tomorrow, and if I were you I’d leave the car at home. 😀
