joeyt Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) The Italian defence of Zambrotta -Cannavaro-Nesta-Maldini is an incredible lineup with Buffon behind them. Serie A was a great league in the 90s and 2000s Edited April 25 by joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it impossible to believe nobody foresaw how fucking dangerous they would be. The only surprising thing about Hillsborough was that it took so long to happen. Anyone who went to matches in the 80s and stood will tell you about situations where they were basically in a cage with far too many people in it, unable to feel the floor and unable to move anywhere. I remember a match at Upton Park in which we were crammed into way too small a space and I genuinely thought someone would die. It was that bad. I saw it on YouTube a while back and I felt sick watching it. Chelsea’s chairman back then wanted to put electric fences up. Google Stamford Bridge in the 80s and a photo of that place alone will tell you all you need to know about how football fans were treated. Although ironically I just read that the pricing for our home match against Chelsea this weekend had the cheapest adult seats at £58.50 - for a match played at eight o’ fucking clock on a Saturday night, so although we’re not treated like animals who risk our lives going to games any more, they’ve introduced a different kind of contempt - economic - instead.

Those things killed 97 people at Hillsborough - scary to imagine how that day could have been worse, but I reckon electrified fences would be one way it could have been. Think the Luton bloke tried to bring in ID cards for fans too. Knee jerk reactions after a bad night when Millwall fans stormed their pitch and smashed half of Kenilworth Road up, mid 80s.

My uncle tells a very similar story about us at White Hart Lane just before Hillsborough, said it was the most scared he's ever been inside a football ground and to this day he's amazed nobody was killed. Fucking mental that we created these situations and the solution seems pretty simple. My dad reckons the fences were the main issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing that stopped it being a Hillsborough-type event was that there was a spare, empty pen in the corner of the ground where NUFC fans were allowed to jump into when it became clear that there was a crush happening.

I’m sure most fans at the time had a story to tell about how it could have been them. IIRC you guys had issues at a Spurs match, we had bad experiences at QPR and (I think) Southampton. Hillsborough was known to be a potential problem. We knew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Shearer's consistency was off the charts, never thought it would be matched until Kane and Haaland came along. Would be interesting to see how many either Kane or Haaland would have got playing against some of the knackers in the 90's or the many elite centre backs we seemed to have in the PL in the early to mid 00's. I reckon someone like a prime Chris Samba would be playing Champions League these days rather than fucking about with the likes of Blackburn.
