I hope I'm leaving this wide open for someone else (especially when I get the year wrong again) but I have a hint of a sliver of a memory of a 7-0 win over Southend.

Can't picture the game/goals but looking at the players it's late-ish in the Arthur Cox era so I'll go for 1993.

Right on either?

Yes Southend but one year out of course!

56. Year, opponents, memories. 7-0. Goals not necessarily listed in correct order.

A guy walks into a bank in the centre of London and asks the manager if he can borrow £10,000 in cash. He says that he needs the money right away for an important purchase and that he will pay it back in a week.

The bank manager checks his details and he seems legit, but the manager is still a bit sceptical.

The man says, “Tell you what, I have my brand new Mercedes parked in your car park. I’d be happy to offer that as security. If I don’t come back and pay off the loan in a week, you can keep it. It’s worth over £50,000”.

The bank manager inspects the car and documents and agrees to lend him the money, at an annual interest rate of 10%. The guy hands over the keys, takes the cash and off he goes.

A week later he returns to the bank and hands over the £10,000. The bank manager says there will be an interest charge of £20 for the week, which the guy happily pays.

He then collects his car. Handing him the keys, the bank manager says “That was probably the strangest loan I’ve ever given. Do you mind if I ask why you borrowed the money”?

The guy says: “Well, how else could I park my car in London for a whole week for just £20”.

Is this one you bought on that TV show?

It is but we have an NDA on social media so not allowed to say as much.

Right game, one year out.

I had no recollection of this game at all, which is odd because I was going to most games in this period. To be fair, I didn't bother turning up for league cup games because our players never turned up either. This was the 4th season in succession we got dumped out by lower league opposition in the first round.

Correct, 2012. Lost 7-6 on pens.

We picked up the keys to our new pad in Carcassonne, south of France on Friday. Itching to go back already.

Wife has booked to pop over herself for a week next month. Her return flights from Stanstead cost a hefty £32 all in. I can't get to London for that.

We’ve recently had the latest poll about whether people want Warne to stay or leave. I don’t want to get into the nitty gritty of why you voted the way you did as that’s been done to death on those other threads. 
 

What I am interested in is what would it take for you to change your mind? Be it someone who still wants him here or someone who wants him gone. 
 

For me (I think it’s fairly obvious I’ve been really unimpressed so far) I like Warne. I want him to do well. I don’t like the personal jibes at him. For me to warm to him and want him to stay the course it’d take: 

More play going through our good midfield players. 

A flexibility to move away from 5 at the back until he’s sure he has the players with attributes needed to play it well. 

Looking to control the game in key parts of the match rather than the hectic ‘you attack we attack’ ping pong it sometimes feels like. 
 

And this is the big big one for me, because we will end up in the play offs in my opinion with or without him as it’s a weaker division than last season. The one for me is that I want to see us really take it to and compete with the so called strong teams in the division. 

I know it doesn’t seem like it but I go into every single match with optimism that this is the match that’s going to get us going and going to kick start our season. 

Anyway keep the criticisms to a 0 please and focus on the Q. What would it take for you to change your mind from the answer you gave on the poll? 

Winning consecutive games without letting a goal in. Oh hang on ...

55. Year, opponents, memories. 5-5 in normal time.

1993. Your usual one year out!

54. Year, opponents, memories. 3-3. 

53. Year, line up, memories. 4-2

and what a line up that was. 

52. Year, opponents, memories  6-1  

Goals may not be in correct order. 

How fitting.

51. Year, opponents, memories. One for the oldies! 

4-1 away win.

And what a day out it was. Last photo moments after the final whistle blew

50. A special one as it's the half century.

We should all have some memories of this! Year, opponents. 1-0.

Plenty of possession but few chances. Wilson looking bright. 

It's not the Papa John's by the way  - they terminated their sponsorship at the end of last season.

It's now just the EFL trophy I believe.

49. Year, opponents, memories. 2-1 away.

I was walking home from work this evening, when a mate pulled over and gave me a lift.

I've no idea what I'm going to do with it, I live in a bungalow.

48. Year, opponents, memories. 5-0

47. Year, opponents, memories. 3-2 away.
