Sort of reminded me of Tottenham-Blackburn, our ante penultimate game of the season where we needed to win but managed zero shots in the match. Southampton were awful, and as you say they're in a bring-the-goalie-up-for-corners-in-the-last-five situation but looked like they were playing for a draw.

Yeah, you'd have to be pretty ****ing worthless to get beat 2-1 at home to Chelsea.

Poor performance by our standards this season. Ward had a shocker. Thought Chelsea were very good.

he's actually being paid loads of money by a NBA team for analyzing sports (kinda like what we are doing but for free and on an internet forum) so i'm assuming he's ok

i doubt he's being paid loads of money


sethy did have a pattern of rage-banning ppl when United would lose big games, which was weird

We could make a 2000/01 final day retrospective thread and invite Sugar Nut

Lol

Maybe the WC will bring some opportunity, but probably not

While my method of picking the team that has a 15 point lead over the other team and acknowledging that psychology plays a part in sports is enough to be on the right side of the debate in this forum, Im not sure its good enough to cut it at the pro level.

that soton-lc game was painful to watch
04-19-2018 , 05:31 PM
Btw I just found out what happened in 2001 Bundesliga final day. I have a lack of knowledge of what happened in european football that spans from 1999 to the mid of 2001 because I had little access to Internet. I actually found out about Liverpool results in the UEFA cup when I heard the scores in the radio the other day. For the final I was able to see the highlights on the chilean news in the evening.

The exception was Serie A because Zamorano and Salas played there.

5 point lead, with 4 games to play, and we're Spurs..what could possibly go wrong?

Spoiler:

Bundesliga had three super dramatic final matchdays in a row 1999-2001. Unfortunately the good guys always came up empty handed.

Would love to claim having good memories of Zamorano due to the 1997 UEFA cup final but 2000/01 was my first season :/

My first football memory is Germany beating Bolivia in the world cup. My dad had a tough time explaning to me why we werent in the world cup. My second football memory is my dad being angry at my older sisters for rooting for USA in their world cup games.


Answer to why we didnt play USA 94 in spoilers
Spoiler:
We got banned from even qualfying because in the Italia 90 qualifier we had to beat Brazil at their own place, we were down 1-0 with 20 minutes to go, a brazilian fan throwed a flare to the pitch and our goalie Roberto Rojas tried to fake he got hit by it so we would get a walkover win. We then became the first team to manage the feat of being knocked out from 2 world cups in one single game.

Want to say the first game I remember was the rearranged Cup semi after Hillsborough
04-19-2018 , 06:40 PM
My first was probably England's opener in the 82 World Cup when Bryan Robson scored after 30 seconds.

27 seconds to be exact.
Also my first memory.

i have a vague recollection of watching norwich vs someone in 1993 or so, must've been a UEFA cup game cos we didn't have sky. bryan gunn in goal and yellow/green nets

remember being dragged to everton's fa cup celebration bus. i remember seeing nothing and it being ludicrously windy

first moment i can recall with absolute clarity is world cup 98 final: france are leading, someone is injured, france has the ball, they put it out so that the injured person can receive attention, brazil keep the ball after the throw in rather than giving it back to france, crowd booooooo, commentator is appalled at lack of brazilian fair play
