20 years ago today the worst week in this country's post-war history began.

Allow me to refresh your memory

I was at that game. I remember ranting on the journey home about how Ray Parlour was the weak link in the team and if he was a regular starter we'd have no chance of winning anything.

Nigel Winterburn was also on my shítlist too, for some reason.

This is my Nicosia moment, isn't it

A couple of years later we lost there in the cup as well. I watched it on my own in a bar in Roermond. Another sad, lonely businessman evening, with the added seasoning of a defeat at Leicester.

Good timez.

Not at all, m. We all have these moments. You should've heard some of the things I said about Thierry Henry back in the day.

I'd forgotten you used to be a supporters' club away game deviant.

Actually we travelled independently to that game.

But you've just made me remember that thick, sub-literate spastic Micky who I had to listen to for hours and hours on coach journeys around the country and who I'd managed to almost entirely block out of my memory until now. So thanks.

I do remember a discussion on here about how travelling to away games basically constituted a form of mental illness. I think you were starting to think the same thing at that stage.

I just remember sitting at the bar staring into my pint as we lost.

la would have all the details to hand, of course.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

The week in which this country abandoned quiet dignity, reserve and stoicism and instead embraced hysteria, emotional incontinence, narcissistic displays of grief and - worst of all - public weeping.

And we'd just drawn 0-0 with Spurs.

I remember my mum and dad went to the funeral and had a good cry. My mum also bought Candle in the Wind and some other tribute cassette

You can understand people who go with mates and make a day of it for the bantz, but there were often people who seemingly went alone, with nothing but their home-made sandwich and compact disc player for company. I guess it got them out of the house

I used to travel a lot with Maputo Gooner. He had some serious, serious flatulance issues

I just don't understand the mindset. But try and express the view that you really didn't care that much at the time and you had a good chance of getting punched. It was weird.
