And makes you all the more sick when you think of the messes running the club who sneer and exploit and ruin. Aye, we really are a special club - or were, I worry Ashley could damage that connection long term. I also remember going into the HMV around Leicester Square the night of the final and buying our official (Sting-penned) FA Cup final song. The guy working there was proper laughing at me and got his mate over to laugh too (again, I was 8). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t that the Chelsea SF? I suppose Rix did play for Arsenal but his conviction wasn’t for a year or so yet. Not sure when it hit the press… Edited May 18, 2021 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWN Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Must have been the Chelsea one I remember the Arsenal one for being a shite performance, the day was great, I only ever went twice up and down in the same day so wasn't much of a story for me . The Chelsea one I think we scored and I fell about 10 rows forward at the bottom , Wembley was a shithole mind . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 To think there was a spell where memories clearly role into one, since then we’ve had an away trip to Spurs in 20 years when they played there temporarily. Hope the 10,000 tomorrow night at least enjoy their night out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal was poor and we were never going to win it, but think the ManU one was even more of a washout. We at least hit the bar and post in the Arsenal one, you'd fancy Shearer to score the post one really. Speed had a good chance too. Don't remember any fleeting hope in the ManU one. Shame we couldn't even make it to 30 mins in either of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had a glimmer when Keane went off injured, only for his replacement to score seemingly straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a very young looking 16 year old at that game and I remember walking down Wembley way after the match and a couple of our (slightly drunk) fans warning me about Graeme Rix, didn't really understand it at the time. Being dead in line with Rob Lee's header from Shearer's cross was mint though but... Poyet, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Crazy, after getting 2 wins, and I think 11 points on that 19 match league run, there might actually be a chance we finish in 12th place. Fulham vs Newcastle Arsenal vs BHA Wolves vs Man Utd (probably easier than it looks given Man Utd guaranteed 2nd, and have Europa final on the horizon) West Ham vs Southampton Liverpool vs Palace Now, Fulham are still favourites to beat Newcastle (6/5 at most places), and had a decent point the other day, but if we were to match the result on the final day of 2 seasons ago (ironically Rafa's last match, will history repeat itself...) then a 3 goal swing would take us above Wolves, and it would also mean that Palace and Southampton would need to win as well. On the other hand, we could just as easily finish 16th, or even 17th if we lost, and Brighton sneaked a point, and Burnley beat Sheff Utd comfortably, but 12th would be pretty shocking considering that pathetic run we went on. Quite a big difference 12th to 17th, at least from big Mike's pockets POV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) I was at the Chelsea SF on those seats at the front with no back and hardly any slope. Was only 10 so could hardly see a thing and was with my mam who couldn't lift me up, the random geordie next to me lifted me up so i could see the players coming onto the pitch, and i somehow managed to see Lee's goal, spent the rest of the game staring at the back of someones head.

Superior Acuña Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Somehow Andy Cole, despite winning the golden boot with 34 goals, was not in the 1993/94 PFA team of the year (which had three striker places!). And he had the most assists in league! Shearer, Beardsley and Cantona took them. He won PFA Young Player though. Were you not eligible if you're young like?

Aye 98/99 I had to stand on the shitty bench thing to see. 96 was upstairs so was better albeit wooden seat and posts blocked some of it. My overriding memory of Chelsea is not seeing the bloke next to me after the goal as he got too carried away and the bloke in front falling asleep.
