I think the players from the Abramovich era should ask how they feel that their wages were paid for by tax evasion. Then asked to justify their position to people whose operations were cancelled, kids who were educated in schools that needed rebuilding and people who had their benefits cut etc. Cos that's who they robbed from.
Coldest wasn't an R's match but was Oldham v Plymouth in Division 2 Feb '88. I was at Uni in Manchester and me and a hammers supporting friend decided to get to some local matches. It was so cold with an icy wind blowing across their plastic pitch. I might be exaggerating but I think there were about 15 Plymouth fans in the away end who went mad when Tommy Tynan (who else) scored the only goal of the game. That was the beginning of that useful Oldham side under Joe Royle with legends like Roger Palmer.
Best - Zamora (obviously) Best TV - Dennis Bailey 92 Worst - Chesterfield away in horizontal rain. Lost 4-2 (I think) and so windy one of our goalkicks went behind for a corner.
Friend at work is a Leicester season ticket holder and he says apart from the big 6 the rest are only 2 poor transfers windows away from relegation. Look at the damage done there by Shakespeare in a very short space of time.
As I'm relatively local I heard Derby fans giving it the big 'I Am' about their accounting policies when this first emerged a couple of season ago - they thought they were being cleverer than the other 71 league clubs doing it their way. I also dislike them in solidarity with number 2 son who's a Tricky Tree who absolutely hates them (not that I have much time for Forest having seen us lose there too many times).
They "sold" Thiago Silva to Olympiakos the other day. It says undisclosed as I bet it's massively inflated to effectively enable the owner to transfer several million into Forest's books to try and keep them within FFP limits.
