First Game

Chelsea 2-1 Leicester City

Scott Minto and Mark Hughes for us. Frank Sinclair with the obligatory own goal for them

Best Game

19.05.2012. Munich.

Worst Game

Leeds United 3-1 1998
Put out the reserves on a Tues night. On my birthday. Saw Laurent Charvet's only ever contribution though.

Best Ground

Allianz Arena - home to Bayern Munich, Germany, TSV 1860 Munich

Memories say it all.

Worst Ground

The Riverside Stadium - home to Middlesbrough

Soulless bowl. Just like Derby, Coventry, Swansea etc just with different reds seats. Smack bang in the middle of a chemical waste plant. Ballache to get to at the best of times.
