frankpingel Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Actually it's a good idea against vastly lower (supposedly anyway) opposition. It means everyone gets to play and they're all at the same stage of preseason training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Tickets still available for the Sheff Utd match. Quite surprising that they still haven't managed to shift the 10k tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Saw that's the first time today a keeper's ever scored for Liverpool. Has it ever happened for us? I know it hasn't in my lifetime, and never heard of any instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Can anyone link me to that video someone off here made in the back end of the of the 11/12 season when we were chasing 4th? Has Florence and the Machine as the soundtrack. Cant find it. Thought it was called The Fall and Rise of Newcastle United but only result is the wrong one.

Surprisingly Allison's was the first headed one in PL. I assumed most were, but there's the hoofs and Schmeichel and Friedel shot with their foot.

I'm the idiot with his back to the camera wearing a blue Levi jacket at the extreme left about half way up. It looks like my mate Jim with his shades on against the wall facing the camera in front of me. I'd wore that jacket at a couple of games in the early rounds, so of course me being superstitious decided to wear it for every game in the rest of the cup run. It doesn't really look it in that photo, but it was absolutely melting hot that day (over 100° inside the ground). I ended up with mild sunstroke.

Also remember Dalglish coming outside the old tunnel entrance before the match to give some tickets out. I think the commentator Brian Moore paid tribute as we we’re all still singing when Arsenal we’re going up to lift the cup. Great memories despite the result.

Superior Acuña Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) I was sitting looking depressed on Wembley Way after the match (as an 8 year old) and people started ditching their failed cup final merch to me - got a flag, rosette and a couple of other things.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I was 13 for this. Watched it at my dad’s with cousins and uncles. First time I ever drank (he got me a 4 pack of Stones). Was mint. Repeated the same thing 12 months later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Those scenes are just incredible, particularly in the city the day after the final. Really makes you proud. And makes you all the more sick when you think of the messes running the club who sneer and exploit and ruin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Always remember a lone Arsenal fan walking past the Duke Of York pub at Kings Cross giving it the big one after the game, there must have been at least 500 Newcastle fans outside drinking in the sun. Suffice to say plastic glasses we’re launched from all angles at him, never seen anyone look as bedraggled in my life. Even the met police we’re laughing at the knacker, apart from that was a very friendly cup final with both sets of fans mixing well all day. I think the big market in town was a scene of carnage after the match if I remember rightly though. Edited May 17, 2021 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
