I am not on here often and it may have been mentioned before, but, is this our first competitive game against Spurs? and if so, which other league teams have we yet to meet? |  | | |  |

Yes it is, and off the top of my head,other teams are Middlesbrough, Liverpool, and West Ham. |  | | |

Actually I saw the U's play Middlesbrough back in the day, I remember it because Whisky the dog mascot crapped in the Middlesbrough penalty area at half time and their players complained about it. We were greatly amused and I seemed to recall the barsides songs referred to 'crap up this end' Furthermore the Middlesbrough shirts were red with white shoulders, unusual at the time.-----------------yet I can't remember yesterday. Ho hum | | | |

We did indeed. Of the current 92, I think the list is just Liverpool, West Ham, Daggers (?) and because of a very contentious differentiation, AFC Wimbledon?
Nope - scrub Daggers, forgot we've played them as well. [Post edited 29 Jan 2016 20:41]

So, the bigger question, which would take some answering, is there a current member of the 92 who have (or by the end of this season will have) played competitive matches against all of the remaining 91? I suppose given their fortunes in recent years, Bournemouth might be as close as us to a full house? | |

Wigan may have done so in a relatively short space of time? |  |

Played Wigan when they first got in to league , Larry Lloyd gave a big two fingers at those who stood at the Spion Kop after they beat us one nil . Had a few good games against them when Martinez played for them . |  |

We used to play West Ham in the Essex Professional cup back in the 50s, but I suppose it was hardly a competitive game, I used to love it when they came to Layer Road, smooth silky football. I think they visited for three years running. | | | |

When we played Bournemouth it was just after John Bond, who was then their player manager, said he was Colchester born and hated the town, I think we beat them and gave him a good mouthful of abuse.
What was unforgivable was that he changed their name from Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic to plain old AFC Bournemouth and ruined a perfectly good quiz question, namely which club has the longest name | | | |

When we visited Dean Court the home support always shouted Boscombe, Boscombe. |  |
