Christmas Tree 4725 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 It's obviously quiet and people have nowt better to argue about. In those days, we never beat Man U and playing them at home was a massive event. Nobody expected to win that game, never mind knocking 5 past them. When we did it WAS a massive result and was very special. Today Leicester did not expect to win or knock 5 past them. They will consider this a massive result and celebrate accordingly. Fannys!

Tom 14011 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Chelsea 0-1 up at Man City. I imagine it's a magical day for their fans - probably the equivalent of when we beat Man City 0-1 away in October 1912. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 1-1! Lampard of all people. That'll leave those Chelsea fans feeling like our fans did when we drew 1-1 away to Man City in November 1966! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33100 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 So to re-cap, CT says we hadn't beat Man U for a decade when we beat them 5-0, although in reality we'd beaten them three times in that period despite being in a different division for four of those years. 1986-87, won 2-1. 1987-88, won 1-0. 1994-95, won 2-0. Apart from that and also saying everyone expected a defeat, he's spot on. (I managed to trudge along to all of those games and ended up in the RVI after the 2-1 win where Goddard got the winner as I knacked my leg when I got home, I was young and naive and said to my Dad that some Man U fans must have had an accident too as there was a few battered and bloodied Mancs in the accident and emergency dept the same time as us).

Whereas in fact they'd taken a beating much like Everton have at the hands of Crystal Palace today. The parallels are uncanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33100 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 They'll be dancing in the streets of Croydon tonight just like we did when we beat Man U 5-0. It's spooky, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33100 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 It was a league cup game when clubs didn't play B teams. Full house, great atmosphere and two teams wanting to win. The two other games I mentioned didn't feature B teams either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 877 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Back at the bottom after Palace's win. The "two games to save his job" have come and passed and we're propping up the Premier League.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33100 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Was that the game when Gillespie looked absolutely class? Can't remember is the answer. Actually think the game Gillespie shone was the 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford. Think that's where KK decided to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15518 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Was that the game when Gillespie looked absolutely class? He put us to the sword in the league around then too, basically sealed the deal on the subsequent switch as part of the Cole deal, I imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 West Brom and Palace beat spurs and Everton away, we draw at home to Hull.
