In logistics so covid had no impact. We still had to go in to keep tge supply chain going.Important to remember it was 2-1 as, annoyingly, Rooney scored the last ever goal at the Lane. Likely to be a pub quiz one day.![]()

Not sure where you work, but most of the world was still in lockdown in Oct 2020
The 60's- When my Grandad used to take me to WHL, all standing crowd and we were winning just about everything, still remember that buzz.
Same as Pleat ‘87, every time we looked like we were on the verge of doing something we sabotaged ourselves.If i was to pick an era it would be under venables. Joined us when we were on pur knees but got better each season to eventually winning the cup in 91. We were a good side then. Shame really it got toxic with venables/sugar at the end. But before that was a good era.
Think pleat had to resign as he got caught by press kerb crawling. How embarrassing. Think shreeves took over and didnt work out. Then venables came in.Same as Pleat ‘87, every time we looked like we were on the verge of doing something we sabotaged ourselves.
Yes, I’d go along with that. Getting relegated at the end of the 76-77 was at first a ball breaker. I remember standing on the pitch, with God knows how many hundred others, after the final whistle at the last game of the season against Leicester. The Spurs players eventually came out and stood on the west stand applauding the fans. I remember thinking WTF am I doing here we just got relegated.

Funny thing about it - the possession nerds are/were wrong, anyway.I think football was just more exciting, full stop.
Then the possession nerds took over.
Think the time i was really gutted when chelsea won the CL in 2012 and we missed out on CL for the next season. Was a really shit rule that. Slogged it out all season and finished 4th. Glad uefa addressed that ridiculous rule. Also glad they ditched finishing third in CL group you go in europa league last 32. Terrible rule. If youre out you should be out.Gooners were throwing blow-up dolls about in the Park Lane.
Quite funny thinking back.
The '87 League Cup Semi Final replay must have been the most gutted i've ever been after a game.

The following season in the second division was an absolute ball. Went to pretty much every game home and away. Then 78, after scraping promotion, and Ossie and Ricky joining, Hoddle coming into his pomp, it was just a great time. And a great time to be a match going fan. Loved it.

Absolutely. All day long.I'd swap modern possession football and the sanitised/gentrified match day 'experience' in an absolute heartbeat.
