Re: Your favourite FA Cup tie
Derby away for me too, I was only 10 or 11 and it was an amazing experience and I genuinely would have been happy even if we had lost it was my first real epic match.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
During the match tonight the commentator said more than once that dyche had been promised money for transfers. How can they know this? Have I missed an ALK statement or something or are they just dressing up the report that ALK want to speak to him?
