Different era as well. No social media like there is today. Now we're drowning in the misery of the situation. Back then I remember it was have a crap journey back home (or go to the pub with mates and talk about something else) then reset and forget until the next game. A lot more healthy for the mind.

This could be a delicious post to come back to in 18 months if Frank joins us next season.
Great reference:
“Roll the dice!”

Was it also called Nightmare?
Wonder if it gets placed near the bottom of his table ?
And we win something!
I didn't say I wanted Frank but I have seen how hard he works. He also relies on his staff to collaborate and make suggestions. He does not force his philosophy on people.
Seems to be called Nightmare in Aus and USA. Did not realise the game was Australian when I made the reference.
We even lost 5-1 to Wimbledon that season.
The signs are all there……..
Just need a crazy free kick to go in on Thursday night.
Trying to figure it out but think under levy and sugar weve seen 5 or 6 title winning celebrations when weve played teams. That includes the gooners as well on pur own patch. No wonder players want to leave. They want a piece of that. Levy out.
why do they have to be exclusive
Weird season that... we only lost 1 game from the start of the season until the end of November... we were 3rd but of course we played Chelsea on December 1st, lost that and preceded to win just 3 games the rest of the season (sound familiar?). The club was in serious financial trouble off the pitch. Trading in shares had been suspended and the only signing we made in the summer was the cult hero and dearly missed Justin Edinburgh. We all know the FA then tried to hammer us in the summer which Sugar pushed back on.
He will soon follow the Spurs mantra... work smarter not harder...
Justin was absolute king of the on-pitch wind up. What he lacked in high end ability, he more than made up with knowledge of the dark arts. A player that fans loved and opponents hated.
Sadly went too soon as he was carving out a nice managerial career for himself. Was he the best left back in football? Even he would admit he wasn't but he was all in on every game and the fact he wanted to punch Robbie Savage but restrained and still got red carded... and we still won... puts him up there as a cult hero of mine... even if I cursed him a few times when opposing right winger left him on his backside...
I loved him as a player. Him, Paul Allen, Paul Stewart,obviously Mabbutt, and Samways weren't exactly world beaters but they gave everything for the club and that meant the world to me.
He gets a nose bleed if he’s near the top of the table
10 draws though.
6 losses.
14 points.
Since the date ticked over to 2025, we've lost 10 league games this season. Won 4, drawn one. 13 points in 2025
And we have 4 very losable games left.
And I don't think we'll win the Europa League after all that anyway
I did think the same. Maybe the players are more professional than we give them credit for?
These days they're media trained and they're probably also aware of fines and punishments for saying anything that may bring the club into disrepute.
Looks like we grew up in the same era... Gazza, Howells, big Pat van den Hauwe... now there was a left back you wouldn't mess with... although I am pretty sure he played right back that day to counter Ian Woan... I remember Woan being replaced in the second half. He'd had enough of being clattered!!!
