Yes same here, always take city over the others on winning premiership, I'm torn between Leeds, sitting here now, I think it would be good to have Leeds in top division again, but then again the old hatred rears it head when I watch them on tv, I suppose it's in the blood.Fair points. In saying that I was still pleased that Stoke City beat Leeds Utd in the EFL Cup last night.
One team that I've never had any dislike for, has been Man City.
I'd still prefer it, even for all their money, City won the Premiership before Spuds, Liverpool or Arsenal,

Went up there on a whim with me older brother in his VW Passat. For some reason I wasn’t at work; me bros interest in Chelsea was on the wane at the time but he rung me up saying he’d always wanted to go to Old Trafford so off we went.Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea Wed, 5th Sept 1984 at 7:30pm
A 1=1 draw with Micky Thomas scoring for us in the 50th min. Equalising Olsen's 15min opener for them.
A crowd 48,398 of saw it
Remember hearing Sade Smooth Operator in the motor for the first time- checked online it was only released the day before.
One of those games I recall pretty much nothing about, but do remember Chelsea briefly scattering the Stratford End just before final whistle- SH and co made an appearance when the gates were opened.
Cheers. I think this Villa footage might be on one of the first pages of the 'Vintage Blues Pictures' Thread.

Cheers, it's amazing what you do remember from some of the games back then !
eg The Sade song 'Smooth Operator' being played on your journey up !
You'll do well to find any more footage for this season the only definite is Spurs at home 1-1 Pat Nevin scores a free kick. And the Man City 4-1 where Pat takes that dreadful penalty and the other league cup games against Wednesday and Sunderland.. There's also this the Arsenal home game.

We stopped off at a pub in Nuneaton for a few pints a coachload of us. After a while this bloke stood up and told a joke and it was funny and went down well. My mate (RIP) who was a really funny bloke did the same unfortunately it didn't go down as well a real tumbleweed moment. We used to bring up now and again much to his embarrassment. I remember Chelsea going into the Holte End with about 15 minutes left.

Chelsea: the Le Coq Sportif years
Thought this might throw some light on the sponsorship on shirts for 1984/85.
Doesn't appear to though, unfortunately. Interesting all the same.
