What a difference a Season makes!
Here is a new thread that I will maintain which will attempt to emphasis how much change occurs every season between some opponents and how, with some, very little changes from year to year.
As I have only just thought of it I am starting behind but hope to post a new one each night to be up to date in time for the Lions.
In each case the teams are as played for each fixture, regardless of where in the Rounds it was played.
Let's start with Round 1 2007 (ps, the formatting looked really good on Excel, any help accepted boffin types!):
