I remember this one, listening on the radio. It was particularly sweet as the summariser on the BBC was from the North East (Bob Stokoe?). He was completely biased in favour of Boro - "Boro deserve to in be front", "Everton have been weak", "Boro are on the way to victory with a commanding...

Other thoughts, both last minute winners after we'd just conceded an equaliser. McFadden's Messi-esque volley against Charlton, and Ebrell's 25 yarder against Stockport in the FA Cup.

Jelavic v Spurs just my fave, probably because, from my seat, it was right below me. Fond memories of Radz v Southampton though, one of best "roofed" goals I can recall. I think the "remember the name" Rooney goal should definitely be on the list. One from back in 1981 gives me a warm glow. FA...

OK - I admit it, I was one of the boo-ers. Out of sheer bloody frustration. We'd had the 40-yard free-kick that went back to Howard, we'd had several occasions where we'd lost possession fannying about at the back; several occasions where we'd passed it around sideways for 10 passes and then...

Sinking our first beers in Venlo on the Dutch/German border after 480 miles. Only 250 to go tomorrow. Definately no sign of any blues here......so far!

Just had the pre-trip planning meeting with my mate. Hotels, Eurotunnel tickets, directions all agreed. I'd just like to pass on my thanks and appreciation to PhilipHe from Wolfsburg. Thanks for all the information, which is printed off and filed! From our calculation, the walk from Kaufhof to...

Me and my mate are driving. Leaving early Wednesday and going through the tunnel, staying on the Dutch/German border overnight. Then over to Wolfsburg to our hotel in Gifhorn. Driving back on Friday, staying in Bruges for some R&R!

Tobermory for me. And if I fancy a drop of bourbon I go for Knob Creek (titter ye not)

You are not alone, I'm in Block 24

Booked tickets in the "neutral" section a month ago. Flights were expensive, and logistics tricky, so we're driving over. Through the tunnel and overnight on Wednesday at Venlo. Over to Wolfsburg on Thursday. Friday night in Bruges. A proper road trip. Wolfsburg is twinned with Luton, which is...

We're staying at the Morada Hotel in Gifhorn, on the outskirts of Wolfsburg - anybody else there?

Just booked two tickets for Block 24 - Front Row. As has been said above, fingers crossed they arrive with the dodgy formatting. Flight looked either full or expensive when we looked last week, so we're driving over. Stopping in Venlo on the way out and Bruges on the way back. A German work...
