When was the last time we played Fulham in a league game. That must be the same length of time if not a bit more.

I have hazy memories of a nght game at Craven Cottage stood behind the goal when Resenior (Leroy?) scored at the far end, that couldn't be the last time surely?

Fulham, got a feeling that was in the 84/5 season. Played them in the League Cup more recently however.
Yeah had to be along way back. We seemed to be on the decline, and Al Fayed was pushing them upwards. So we missed eachother.

August 1989 in the League Cup. We beat them 1-0 away (Foyle) but they beat us 5-3 (Durnin, Simpson 2) at home in the 2nd leg.
We last played them in the League in 1984/5. Winning 3-2 (Aldridge 2, Hamilton 1) at home in Sept '84 and lost 1-0 away in Feb '85.
We also played them away in the Full Members Cup in Oct '85 when we beat them 2-0 with Andy Thomas scoring both.

I think they were the team that ended our really long home unbeaten record in the League Cup, a run which had survived games against Man Utd (twice), Arsenal, Everton, Newcastle United, Leeds, amongst others.
Annoying, I was going to finally have a game on my doorstep which isn’t Portsmouth away!
Elland Road a new ground for me. Unreal that we'll be playing there in a league game and not as a novelty one-off in a cup. Very much hope it's a Saturday early on in the year, before too much pressure gets heaped on anything and we can still enjoy the day out. Would be a real shame if it was a Tuesday.
You should have gone to the cup game in midweek, when Jim Magilton scored the winner in extra time. What a great night that was.

Jimmy Magilton's last game for Oxford, we sold him 2 days later. What a way to come back to earth with a bump... And then we lost 4-0 at home to Charlton on the Saturday just to really rub it in.

Wasn’t it Chelsea we lost to the game after Magilton left?

Chelsea were our opponents in the next round, Charlton was a league game the weekend after we won at Elland Road.
Yeah, and then Fordy took a crucial penalty against Chelsea in Magilton's absence. It didn't go well.

The stewards getting in all our faces celebrating when they equalised.
I remember one bloke windmilling a steward with Coppers hanging on to each arm. The Police moved them elsewhere after a lot of complaints, unfortunately though, as it would have been joyful to celebrate that goal in their faces in return.
A mate who supported Leeds had left just before the 1st goal, he ignored it but then ran back in after hearing the equaliser.
Yeah we was 2-1 down. And Fordy missed/ hit crossbar late on at the Cuckoo lane end.
Charlton was after Leeds, and remember Carl Leaburn scoring, when the ball literally went in off his backside, and he celebrated like he scored a worldly.

Let's all laugh at Leeds, let's all laugh at Leeds.
Leeds must have the worst record in the Play offs out of all league clubs. 6 times they have contested in the playoffs, Lost 4 times in the final and lost twice in semi finals.
