Leaving 'Emirates' on the Arsenal shirt and the Manchester City shirt untouched in a classic display of mackem 'ethics'.

They play at Parken, should be plenty of tickets in the offing as they cant sell that out. Happy for Rangers. Don't want them though. No British teams. Just imagine how our fans felt in the 70s drawing Southampton. As far away as a proper European team but none of the spice.

Gives old school missed the kick-off vibes

The buses Niall Quinn was willing to lay on to get them to shift themselves to their games instead of sitting in the pub watching it on dodgy internet were not nearly as efficient presumably.

Yeah was good. Didn't have to acknowledge it either as it should be a given when a player is hurt like that. Remember a player as vile (and good too) as Mark Hughes plying for the vile Man United team getting the same treatment having literally just scored against us.

I've experiened many better feelings in football than beating them, If I were to list them I doubt a win over them would be in my top 20 and many better atmospheres. Its probably horses for courses and a personality thing of which there's no right and wrong but its too like them (nothing else to dream of and were past that point again) to think beating your local rival is the ultimate. Most of our wins over them weren't even memorable in the context of the season they were in when we've been doing well. The 1-0 Nobby penalty is barely remembered and other wins in that era dont match up to Man Untied 4-3, Arsenal and Leeds away, Feyenoord and Juventus, Leeds h. I'd put Man United, Spurs, Forest and possibly others including Boro and Ferencvaros ahead of beating the mackems in 96/97 for enjoyment and memory. The promotion season under Keegan we played them Grimsby, Oxford and Leicester in the last week and beating them was arguably the least memorable of the four and incomparable to the Leicester game. I dunno how excited can a Goliath be at beating a David even if the David in question deserves to have his face rubbed in the shit.

It happens, Beardsley had bad games too, you'll always be tempted to stick with it for what might happen - even just for the players confidence, especially probably with the game bagged *re Bruno

Aye, its often failed to be factored in what an enhancement a full-season of this radge Isak is.

Sweet sweet breathing space

Doesnt have to shoot from that angle or even shoot himself though if not brought down, its an extremely dangerous attacking scenario. One of the defenders effectively becomes the goalkeeper when the goalkeeper is indisposed. If there was only one player typically between the attacker and keeper he'd be the 'last man'. With my too tense to be altruistic about it hat on admittedly.

What's your theory then. We completely fuck up an attacking move with a goalkeeper out of play as its only one of the best scenarios you can wish for in the sport?

If he or anybody else got a shot away without a goal-keeper those defenders would likely have to handle it to stop it going in

Clear goal-scoring opportunity (no keeper ffs) denied = red

Ditto. Don't know what standards people are holding it too, that's probably what's non-existent

Not just entertaining but high quality

Everton are going to be grim to watch this season. Not even the likelihood of relegation to get agitated about with Luton and the Sheffield United, Wolves implosions.

Very strong looking team now. Good bench options too that will be deployed and find roles reversed later.

94/95. Chance we'll drop back positionally in the league after over-achieving ahead of schedule but still be growing and getting stronger. I'm okay with it. We had the Cole (and others) sale and subsequent war-chest to crystalise the gearing up for future seasons then to everyone.

Was that the trans stuff or is this a new addition "I mean, fancy referring to aMANda Staveley as " she" when it's clear as day that's a man's jawline aMANda has on that newly re- modelled face. (Apparently aMANda had the latest in a succession of re modelling work done to cheer up after the Liverpool offer was rejected out of hand, just because Liverpool have morals about ownership, for goodness sake!! )." cant imagine why they feel the need to hide that thread

Seen the situation in Yemen on the news a few times lately. Must have been either an eye-opener or fingers in the ears situation for them. Especially that Exile who's not mentioned the Iranian backed rebel insurgency before despite his obsession with the conflict.

That's a good quote from Eales and where were at for me. Same deal as Keegan's second season in the PL, a much loved season but we did drop back after over-achieving the previous year in league placing but were still growing and getting stronger

Big stadium = fans far away from the pitch

They reckon the noise was something to behold in the hospital round the corner when my step-neice was born - can only have been a goal against Swindon in the dark days.

Good to see despite 14years of Ashley Spurs have had only one more top 4 PL finish than us.

Bottled it the pens then the field. 'Bottles being thrown on pitch at the end' I counted 9 pop bottles thrown on the pitch at the end. Ffs you absolute bunch of fcuktards. What an absolute embarrassment you are. As if SO37 aren’t having enough issues from the Safety knobhead, this is just playing into the clubs hands. There’s no doubt we will be on report if the ref noticed it. About time the fans started managing this in-house and give these knobheads a slap.
