Everyone mentions 95-96 but we had a real chance this season too!


Bellamy’s injury knacked us

 

 

 

Arsenal won every single game from this point mind (including the Bergkamp game), would have meant winning 17 games in a row or something ridiculous to have been champions. :lol:

Some Forest fans are still riled about it. When we played them in August it was mentioned on their forum in the match thread within 4 posts or something. :lol: Wonder how many it'll be before it's mentioned next week. Not like its been 49 years and the fact that they've probably evened the score with Ian fucking Woan.

I’ve heard about that game since I pretty much started supporting Newcastle and I never ever realised the original result was overturned. What would the reasoning for that even be?

Forest complained that the pitch invasion changed the landscape of the match and the FA upheld the complaint and voided it. It's still the most thrilling Newcastle match I've ever been to, it was fucking bonkers

I can assure you it wasn't.

The roar from the Leazes was deafening at times.

Still the biggest home crowd I've witnessed and even as a seven year old, the atmosphere at big games was my favourite thing about going to the match.

Go to 46 40 in the Big Match footage of the game to see the Leazes in full voice.

15 years since we trounced Spurs 4-1 away. Owen, Viduka and Martins were class, should have been about 8. Best away Premier League performance?

What Keegan was achieving was unbelievable at the time.

He had the most immobile midfield going in Geremi, Butt and Barton and it worked.

Obviously the relegation season was doomed from the start it seemed, but there's an alternative reality where Keegan stayed and built on what he had done at the back end of that season, got us back into Europe and then moved upstairs, he had found the system that worked and with his signings that summer I've no doubt he'd have got us going.

Agreed, I remember going into that season feeling pretty good. And then it all fell apart in the most spectacular fashion. What a small time bastard Ashley was.
