yeah and France have won the lot with no european trophies since a dodgy one in 93, thus disproving that theory.

Must have passed me by

It’s weird Pickford has never been strongly linked with say Man U or spurs. Maybe a relegation would force his hand but seems happy enough to plod along at Everton, then look good every two years in an international tournament. I’d take him for the fume alone.

Genuinely can’t understand why any Newcastle fan would be gutted at a man united loss

They are snides but but great shirts, I've got the original for the pink and its more muted, only ever worn against us of course, bizarrely in Cesena I think!

I always thought the sponsor was an iron as a kid, only in later years did I realise it was a media company.

I left mine blank as had been burned from Cole on the ASICS one.

The Man United lace up was fairly iconic, first premier league title in it and big collar for Cantona, the last Arsenal one at Highbury was fairly iconic, as was the flecked Candy Liverpool top.

I've already got one in decent nick, would have been tempted if they brought a long sleeved one out. It leaves the door open for other releases in future though with the brown ale on, the training stuff from 95-95 goes for crazy money so would be daft not to reissue that.

Just that one as far as I know. May have a grainy copy of the 2-1 O’Brien win at roker somewhere but think that’s more widely available.

Our last Wembley win was against Liverpool, mercantile cup 88/89? Penalties after 0-0 draw in 45 min game, then lost 4-0 to lower league tranmere, the forgotten Wembley trip and only one over not done in my time on the planet (not counting the spurs league game).

They have two fairly easy looking games in the two midweeks before the second leg, home to finals Zagreb then away to girona, where they could maybe rest players.

Immediately thought this too, suppose its a slight bit of complacency, we hadn't been to a semi since 1976, this was third 1/4 final in a row in the league cup. I think it was more open two years ago too, people seen Liverpool and Arsenal were winning around me and that sort of put a dampener on things, although it shouldn't have really as was to be expected.

I watched the old oak at the weekend, was decent, anyway i noticed this in the goofs section of imdb, the pettiness amused me no end

Just realised .com not doing an advent calendar this year

I’m sure it was wet that day too. Had 10k lock outs in that opening 11 game winning run, apparently. My first season ticket season, £83 in the east stand paddocks for kids.

thats the barcode shirt so Kelly is right imo, sure its from the Southend game at start of 92-93

i'm sure for the first stage there was hell on as ST had to buy a bundle, I feel like mine was £35 in the east paddock but thats a guess, which at over £100 for three seemed a lot at the time.

balls my kids cancelled too, although the bayern and celtic trefoil stuff that was well cheap remains.

Think only chance will be if stars align in cups, not holding out much hope.

The big match revisited was on itv today showing highlights of us away to Leicester in 1984

I remember a healthy round of applause for Dwight yorke when he got a hat trick in 97.

If rotherham are in then them away, my white whale.

Fairly audible applause for their first goal, feel like thats something that wouldn't happen now, maybe it was just because nobody was that arsed about that cup!

Yeah he’s talked about going as a kid previously, don’t suppose he bothered once he got into hunting etc.
