The second in a six match winning run which ultimately took us to the Championship title, but crucially moved us 4 points clear of West Ham with six games left.

My favourite away day, ever.* Hunt's goal just before half-time - pandemonium. I hurt my leg and couldn't walk properly for 2 months after falling into the row in front and landing awkwardly.

*I didn't go to Southampton that year though.

I am still upset I didn't get a ticket for this one.

I was in Selfridges with my missus and my dad was texting me the goals. When Ledge scored to make it 4-2 I went mental. One of the shop assistants asked me if I was OK and I explained what had happened - he was a West Ham fan and I relentlessly took the piss for about five minutes, much to the bemusement of my fellow shoppers.

I did go to the Southampton game, and that was brilliant. It was up there with Cardiff in the play-offs the year before, when my mate and I were stood near an old boy who was in tears when the third goal went in. It only struck me a few days later that he was probably crying in part because he may have thought it was his last chance to see us promoted to the Prem again before he died, which stayed with me for a while. I hope he got to see us win the league, and was maybe at Upton Park going mental with the rest of you lucky gits.

Saw Kes had replied and correctly guessed the wording of his post before I opened the thread

Possibly my favourite away game ever, better than Southampton that season IMO.

Speaking of West Ham away, Seol's rocket in 2006/7 is also a good #bouncewatch.

I'm fairly new around here, so can anyone tell me who No Fixed Abode supports and why he posts his unwanted views on this forum? Also does anyone know if his club has an opinion board, and if he posts such rubbish on there?

Remember being at that game (and the monsoon 5 minutes prior to kick off) and thinking we had oxf*rd up a really good position, only for Seol to smack it into the top corner 5 seconds later.

Missed both our first and second goals as I was in the concourse getting a drink in, remember coming back from the bar with about a quarter of my drink left and the remainder all down my top :lol:

RIP Tony Gubba.

Still can't believe Chris Foy disallowed Kebe's goal to give the penalty. Possibly the sweetest struck football I have ever seen

Look at the energy and commitment

Maybe McD needs to show the players this video before Saturday.

"Look how crap this lot is compared to you, and they oxf*rd one the league! You pcunts are supposed to be good and you're barely out of the relegation zone"

It's a good thing I'm not a manager.

Watching that, did anyone notice how there was someone following up almost ever blocked shot, and people always running in the box.

I really think having people running into the box and taking those risks is what we lack now...
