Carling cup semi finals and fa cup (away) in 2004

and a league game as well

Yeah 4 times. The year we won the cup. Beat them twice in the league cup, hammered in the league and FA cup. Remember the MOTD presenter remarking on it and then Mark Lawrenson commenting ‘and how much are you betting Middlesbrough don’t win any of them’.
Well Mark. How’d that remark pan out for ya

After we went through at the Riverside I was leaving the ground with my son and when we got near the Arsenal coaches I got a bit of paper and a pen out of my pocket and approached this Arsenal fan asking him if he could help. I could see this Bobby looking and I winked at him. Excuse me I aid again in a humble voice, can you help me? It's just that we've never been to a final before in Cardiff, do you know any good hotels?

The Arsenal fan was trying to climb the fence to get at me and the Bobby laughing said "OK cheeky Charlie, you've had your fun, now off you go".
