What about the Good Friday, Easter Saturday AND Easter Monday schedule????

That was the season of the big freeze wasn't it???

Oh and Spurs never lost a home game that season!!!!

Now Burnley are in the first division, Blackburn in the third and Accrington in the fourth!!!

Oh and Spurs are unbeaten at home!!!!

Hopefully Jose has said he ain't bovvered about the league anymore, so they won't bovver next Sunday!!!

They f****d up me Birfday too, by the way, the last ever game at WHL should have been on my 63rd birthday. But they deferred it a day!!!!
Big freeze was 62/63 that messed up the O's pitch and so ended the brief trip to the top tier.
The Boxing day(1963/64) weather for Blackburn was pretty bad. I seem to remember we played your lot one Xmas, Christmas Eve & Boxing day, we lost 0-5 0n agg, 59 or 60.

Shame about your birthday, but a money game for Sky & PL.

Easter footie was always enjoyable, sometimes get home games on the Fri & Sat, Brian Dear grabbed his five in twenty against the baggies Good Friday 65.

Sadly those days are long gone, Wenger would never have coped, just four days of him whinging.
