The Doctor will see you now
Now we have some, erm, time to stew over the current topsy-turvy league season, it might be a good time to explore those demons we know that are represented by the Good Doctor.
This isn't for all and certainly not for the faint-hearted. But it might be good therapy for some of us lol
So what do you think are the top 3 visits form the Good Doctor?
I'll start:
1) Half-time at White Hart Lane when we were 3-0 up vs Emirates Marketing Project in the 4th round replay of the FA Cup in the 2003-04 seaon AND Man Ciy were down to ten men after a sending-off (i think it was Joey Barton?). We ended up losing the game 4-3 in an incredible second-half collapse.
2) Dinamo Zagreb beating us 3-0 and knocking us out of the Europa league in March 2021: we had a 2-0 first leg lead and their coach had literally just been sent to prison for fraud after the first leg.
3) Losing the FA Cup semi-final against Portsmouth 2-0 in 2010, a team that had just been or were on the verge of being relegated and who as a club had gone into administration.
Honorable mention for yesterday's Ipswich game but in reality (and if we're honest) that was almost half-expected and funnily enough the last home league game against them (over twenty years ago) went the same way and was in similar ("if we in we go top 2/3/4") circumstances...
