STM Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Let's talk about 1998 and 1999 finals. A couple of things have struck me, while looking back (I was 10 at the time). 1. Unfortunate that we were managed by Dalglish and Ruud for them games, as opposed to Keegan and Robson who were in charge either side of them. 2. Also unfortunate that we played 2 of the best sides the league has had in Viera/Adams Arsenal and then Treble winning Man United. As opposed to Chelsea, who won it in 1997 and 2000. Can anyone recall expectations before those finals? It feels looking back as Newcastle were very much the underdogs to the champions. We also made some horrific defensive errors in both games. Goalkeeping was all over the place. I mean we had Laurent Chavet playing. Can't help but feel that we are much better equipped, certainly defensively.

Expand I wasn’t expecting anything other than defeat. A win in either would have been a massive upset. Hope rather than expectation was the order of the day for anyone other than the most optimistic (being kind there) of our support. We don’t go into the LC Final as favourites this time either, but there’s a hell of a lot more hope that we can win. This is a much better side in every way, with a much better manager. And I can’t imagine the support having to chant ‘attack attack attack’ at the players this time round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 My memory is a little vague only being 10/11 but I remember in 98 feeling like we were getting a foot hold in the game and then Shearer rattled the post. Then they scored the 2nd and game over. Could be wrong mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Both years it was a case of hoping for an upset, but knowing that this was unlikely. We were unfortunate in that we played the PL Champions in both games. We didn't lay a glove on either of them and they never got out of second gear to beat us. This game should, in theory, be a lot closer. They are currently better than us in midfield and attack but the margins are a lot closer than they were back then. So while in those days a win was pretty much a fantasy scenario, this time we have a fighting chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
