3 options there 1st.... tv game when man utd won the chumps league a few years ago, dont care if you love/hate em, that was a night, i could add leeds beating stuttgart 3-0 to go thru in that "replay" playing in....when i got my ankle snapped, can remember it in slow motion to this day, and when i was laid in an hospital bed watching villa beat manure in the cup final eating a sunday dinner while my wife who was with me there had swithed ours off and she had to watch me eat it ! come away from a few.... but liverpool last year, i told him to forget the score and just enjoy the anfield magic, and after i couldn't get a pint inside anfield, i let my nipper have a quid bet, i ridiculed him when he put a 0-1 h/t 2-1 f/t bet on!...did he buy me a pint?? did he ****!! kids eh, dont ever leave em at home on match day
3-3 with Ipswich at home 95/96. Still can't get my head round what happened there!! Feckin Ian Marshall! :'(
RE: Bristol Rovers home under Machin..... Something like that, very early on. Then we just pounded them for the rest of the game but somehow failed to score. Probably because our strikers were rubbish.
I have never said this but..... for the Chelsea game, I had my ticket, drove back from Leeds where I lived at that time on the Sat morning, went to the bookies to put some bets on, took a friend out to lucnh before she went travelling for a year and then after dropping her off about 3:15pm I went to grab my ticket out of my back pocket only to find it was not there! Ok I thought it will be in my mum's house.....nope! A little worried I thought it will be in my bags.....nope! Sh@t where is it? In a panic I drove back to Leeds thinking i had left it at home there this was about 3:45pm, I turned the house upside down cursing looking for it also knowing Leeds were at home and not wanting to get stuck in the traffic I was rushing around like a tit trying to find this fecking ticket! No joy whatsoever I had lost the ticket I was gutted and in a right mood. My brotehr then rings asking where I am so I explain it so him and my mate start laughing taking the piss putting me in a worse mood and my response was ah well its on TV and we're going to get our pants pulled down anyway! So I went to the shops and bought 24 of my mates Mr Stella to enjoy the game with only to get smashed and witness one of the all time great cup upsets!! Gutted is not the word to describe the feeling and the amount of stick I took over the next few weeks did not help.......................but at least I have a good story to tell the grand kids :'(
Also the Playoff Semi Final v Huddersfield 2nd Leg never thought we would pull it back after conceding yet another stupid goal, was amazing though!
