Yes, Moulineux has a nice ring to it. I also like the Westfallen Stadium, home of Dortmund and Sheffield Wed's, Hillsborough.\n\nItalian and Spanish Stadiums have nice names as well. Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Camp Nou, Mestalla and the Vincente Calderon for the latter. The former's: Olimpico, Giuseppe Meazza (or San Siro) and Artemio Franchi.\n\nIf you recall WC'94, then what about Soldier Field and Giants Stadium?

Coincidences:\n\nA team managed by Gerry Francis beat Manchester United 4-1 on New Years day of two successive leap years (QPR in 1992, Spurs in 1996).\n\nTwo seasons running, Watford won a home game 1-0 with Alan Smart scoring in the 57th minute (Bristol City in 1998, and Chelsea in 1999)\n\nIn 1994/95 season, three different teams broke the club record for most consecutive clean sheets (Tottenham, Everton, Watford)\n\n\n1999 FA Cup semis were quite intriguing:\n\nMan Utd (looking to do a treble) against Arsenal (looking to do the double).  Spurs (looking to do a cup double, managed by George Graham who had achieved the feat with Arsenal six years earlier). If Newcastle and Arsenal had contested the final, it would have been a 'repeat final' of the season before.\n\n\nSeveral coincidences between England winning 1966 Football World Cup and 2003 Rugby World Cup:\n\nLosers (Germany and Australia) scored first and scored late equalisers.\nWinners scored in last minute of extra time.\nGeorge and Ben Cohen (uncle and nephew) playing in each side.
