Today marks 33 years since of one of the most bizarre goals of the 1991/92 season at Maine Road. Here Luton keeper Steve Sutton thinks an offside has been given and kicks the ball straight to David White, who can’t believe his luck. Play to the whistle.

Transfer deadline day - 1994 Back when you could sign players at anytime up to the end of March. No transfer windows. No dedicated TV coverage. No bright yellow banners. Just clubs quietly going about their business, and the way to find out was good old Ceefax. Simpler times.

This image should‘ve been the magnum opus of late stage malarky on social media. Just as twitter lost its charm and the football community fragmented, this should have been the banter era’s last hurrah. A burly man striking a sassy pose. Tragically he has backed up the sass, for now. We live in hope

29 years ago today: Aston Villa v QPR in the Coca-Cola Cup. Here Tommy Johnson stupidly kicks out at Ray Wilkins, but the 39-year-old takes the sting out of the situation by shaking his hand and telling the ref it’s no big deal. Lovely stuff from Butch.

just a personal view but I don't like the trend of post-match interviews with the managers and the pundits together. Don't think it works: boring interviews and the pundits don't want to criticise him before/after. Get the lad Patrick Davison doing it. Interviewing is a proper (and rare!) skill.
