[mrkint]

It's on BBC radio manc. Can't stream it online though

I was just pointing out we'd met them in the cup before...

perhaps I'd better make it clear that when I said we'd never met them in the cup, I was excluding the occasions when we had met them in the cup...

I hope this clears things up!

Aye, because even though you pay the full licence fee you can only listen to the BBC in 'your' area*

*or in other words 'you can't'.

Sometimes you can get by tuning into the local radio for 'that' area.

What is their area?

[When was this?

Superwhites 7 Plymouth 2. 22/9/84 Division 3.

Caldwell 3, Chandler 2 (1 pen), Oghani, Joyce. att 3,876

A lad from our school (Simon Doig) came with us and said it was 'boring' so while we enjoyed a nine-goal unthriller he sat and did his maths homework. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Maths was an orange book.

I used to love going to games at this time, not because they were very good (they often weren't) but it was the real start of me going to football with my granddad. We always had goals 84/85 we had F69 A75 and you could sit practically anywhere you wanted.

I think it was £1.20 for me to get in.

Really happy days.

Wasn't even born

where Wales meets the Black Country

Mordor??

[plymouth wanderer]

Walsall 8-1 was Sept 1983 I think

October 84 the loss to Nottingham County

When was last time Bolton played Argyle?

16 Jan 1993 Bolton Wanderers v Plymouth Argyle W 3-1 League Division 2

Must of been out that day Would love them to meet again (down here) cup perhaps

I got a signed Barness program,had quick chat about him leaving my first love (bolton) and joining my bit on the side (Argyle) nice chap

[Lord Kangana]

we have played shroozebury Town 16 times in our history...

we are currently winning 19-17 on aggregate...

(we've never met them in the cup..)

Erm

There seems to be a slight discrepancy around 20 games here. Have I missed something?

edit - Just reading those stats noticed that the last time we did (or didn't - your choice) played them in the cup was the 4-3 agg win in the LC 2nd round.

This was a giant killing at the time as they were a division two side. If memory serves we were losing one-nil (2-3 agg) when against all the odds the Supers dug in and turned it around.

MotM was Jeff Chandler who curled in an excellent equaliser on the night to send the 5,500 strong crowd in to raptures and the Whites through to the next round.

Which was against Notts County.

Bugger.

yes - this has been covered above!

[Lord Kangana]

Where? I only see a discussion on us meeting in the cup, not the numbers being all-to-cock. Enlighten me!

This will be our twentieth meeting in all competitions. Are we enlightened?

[Lord Kangana]

So we've won 19 of them and Shrewsbury managed to win the remaining fixture a staggering 17 times?

I have asked this already but....is that not just for league matches?

[thebish]

that's aggregate GOALS!!! isn't that what winning on aggregate normally means in football?? sorry for the confusion!

[Lord Kangana]

Well its common practice, in these sort of things, to put:

Played (so far so good)
Won (so far so not so good, how many have we won, how many they?)
Score For:Against

I give you 1/3, must do better.

Anyway, how many have we won?
