Tsunami Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 That .com report is a bit ott. The players let Bobby down as they threw away a CL place. The booing was for those players and it wasn’t that much where I was. Not many stayed behind because of the performances late in that season. On a different note; that Leicester first half, bloody hell that was good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 When reading some of the .com reports that pop up on the On This Day section of the home page from like between 1996 and 2005 they seemed to be far more opinionated in match reports than they do now.

Guest Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The 5 closest occasions? 1976 - a wonder goal at 1-1. 1996 - obvious. 2000 - 1-1 and playing well, lose to a goal from a free-kick which should have been retaken with Villa waiting in the final. 2002 - Worthington Cup late on, O’Brien misses a sitter at Chelsea before JFH won it in injury-time. We’d have had mid-table Spurs in the Semi then relegation threatened Blackburn in the Final. 2005 - We pissed through the competition up to half-time in the Second Leg of the 1/4s, with AZ and CSKA Moscow to come.

geordiedean Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Just to cheer everyone up! Happy days when we were a real force. Never to be seen again unfortunately. I do feel for the supporters who weren't around to see how good we were between 93 and 97. Teams used to rock up to SJP and be grateful of leaving without being hammered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Said it on the club’s Twitter feed, but today’s Newcastle would have offered £8m, then signed Patrice Loko from PSG for £3.5m instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Woodgate was fit for the second leg, a single away goal would've done it for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I didn’t include that because I didn’t think we’d have beaten Rafa’s Valencia in the Final with those injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I’ll throw the 2002 FA Cup in there though. We probably should have beaten Arsenal at home before they tanked us in the replay. It would have been Boro in the Semi then Chelsea who we’d finished higher than in the table in the Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
