Today I learned (well re-learned, I was at the first leg age 7) that we played both legs against Monaco in 97 without Ferdinand and Shearer....

 

I'd been wondering if we should've gone further.

 

Also learned I saw Henry play for Monaco.

 

And also that UEFA's website is sloppy, cos it has Keegan down as our manager when it was in fact Kenny.

That was the game where Henry knocked it past Steve Watson then practically ran on the running track on the outside of the pitch and still got there first.

Why were the away fans locked out for this game?

 

Incredible work in midfield from Beardsley with him on the deck surrounded just before the equalizer

The history of crowd trouble wasn't it? Mackems were at our place too.

@Alan Pardew would be perfect for this.

I haven’t applied for the position lads don’t worry. I’m still aiming to be back in the dugout. Managing… setting the team. One last dance with the King. Heh… no… 

I would take a gig in the Championship I’ll tell you that. Some mid table side and then guide them to promotion. I’ve done it before you know. 
 

See ya later.

Hey @Alan Pardew you’re doing a great job on Talksport keep up the good work geezer.

Was going through my match worn shirt folders and found a photo a 125th anniversary season prototype. The badge there were going to use was very interesting

 

 

Sadly they went with the much simpler

Either Les's cock, draped on the floor or the "KK" row signs?

 

You decide.

Easy to forget that other than the goal they got this save was the only one they made Pope make in the whole afternoon. Palm that one in and it's a different story completely

[Kid Icarus]

Pope is really excellent at coming up with those saves after long periods of doing nothing like. Class mentality

Didn't we ask him to stay after Shearer got injured and he said no and went to Spurs anyway?

After we'd fucked him about pretty extensively, aye.

[Optimistic Nut]

He was pretty shit after he left anyway. 30+, injury prone, had one good season after he left and that was about 6 years later with Leicester getting relegated.

Was class whenever Sir Les came back to SJP and he got a standing ovation and then got booed the first time he touched the ball

[KDT]

Watched the 96-97 season review last night, quite a few bad spells early in the season that would’ve had this place rife for a Keegan sacking. Also took Shearer longer than I remembered to score from open play that season & couple of longish term injuries waste of money etc etc.

Seem to remember we did that to most players that we sold and then played against us?

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Or good ones anyway

The funniest example of that, was I think Steve Watson being roundly applauded when he was warming-up to come on for Aston Villa. As soon as he touched the ball there were massive boos and he absolutely cracked up on the pitch.
