Thomson Mouse Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 27 years ago today, one of my favourite ever away games. What a night! Peacock retweeting as well man. Next couple of years then football lost contact with the fans when Keegan left for me. Pretty sure you needed a Millwall away ticket stub to get a Grimsby away one. Bit different from the Anglo-Italian cup game where you could sit down with cod and chips in the away end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 That Robert free kick I was at that one, what a season. Carnage for that LuaLua goal, his long-awaited first league goal I believe. Robert was getting a lot of stick before the goal too, he was having one of his lazy shockers, then he does that. Remember being behind the goal seeing it sneak in. This was also Warren Barton and Rob Lee v us shortly after leaving, Lee crashing heads with Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 He's just not that kind of lad. The handball as well, man. He's exactly the kind of lad. Hated Dave Whelan beforehand and hated him even more after he defended this cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 A ginger-haired lad with a Walkman burst out laughing and doubled over clutching his sides. “They’re interviewing a Mackem blubbing his eyes out” he announced to the world. I found myself dancing down Blackett Street, arm in arm with a fat bloke I don’t even know, singing “Geordies, In the Champions’ League”. As he teetered euphorically towards his bus stop, and I staggered towards Monument Metro, we simultaneously gushed “It just doesn’t get any better than this.” In truth, we both knew that one day we will win the League. In truth, we both knew that one day it WILL be better than this. But it won’t be by much. What a read. Hopefully days like this are in the not so distant future. https://www.nufc.com/html/1996-97html/1997-05-11forest-h.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke who sat in front of me used to always bring a little transistor radio to the match and keep all around him up to date with the scores elsewhere (these were pre smartphone days). Me and my mate usually left the ground pretty sharpish, but after the lap of honour we got talking to radio guy and ended up, just the three of us in a pretty much deserted Gallowgate End, listening to the last seconds of the Coventry game. When the full time whistle blew and we realised that not only were we in the Champions League, but Boro AND the makems were down, well we went ballistic, running up and down the now empty stand until we got chucked out by some laughing stewards.

HaydnNUFC Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 0-4 win at Fulham was a year ago today. Rafa's last game in charge and Perez' and Rondon's last appearance for us.

Paully Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 0-4 win at Fulham was a year ago today. Rafa's last game in charge and Perez' and Rondon's last appearance for us. The bullshit that followed in the next 2 months, so predictable yet so avoidable. That feels like about five years ago! Cracking weekend that with the boats up and down the Thames in boiling conditions singing "You don't know what you're doing" to the Houses of Parliament :lol: That fat wanker was there that day too - to let Rafa and Rondon walkaway shows you all that you need to know of how much he thought of NUFC as a Football Club!

Guest Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The few weeks after that game were so optimistic. Looked like Rafa was staying, looked like Rondon was signing, we ended the season strongly, we were being taken over the day after Sunderland ballsed up the Play-Off Final. Then it was announced Perez was going, Rafa was leaving and it was all gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Carbon copy the year prior, 2 years ago today we absolutely stuffed Chelsea on the last day. Awesome day, glorious weather, got absolutely shitfaced post match. Remember blasting Some Might Say on the way to the game so I now associate that song with that day. Brilliant. Should've been 5 or 6-0. But rAfA iS bOrInG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
