Try 4-0 up at Newcastle
4-2 up against Spurs in injury time, their fans were leaving, their players had given up. We still found a way to draw that game.
Thanks, P. I had actually managed to block that one out...
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
It sticks in the mind because the game was utterly, utterly dead. We were pushing the ball around on our half way line, spurs were not even chasing it- they had given up. When we gifted it to them it was almost as though the spurs players were thinking 'oh for ****s sake, if you insist'......
I like the catastrophic sequence of events that almost led to Hull equalising in the cup final. Quite hilarious how quickly we can create chaos from a completely innocuous situation.
Still.....remembering Spurs 3-0 up at home to 10 man Man City and losing 4-3 in the FA Cup. Now that was funny!
"Scoring a goal is better than sex" - Whoever said that was sticking it to the wrong woman
A bit unlucky with some decisions that day. A couple of soft pens/free kicks? and Barton provoking our lad then simulating hysterically to get him sent off.
That was the day my washing machine was delivered.
Some dodgy reffing in that game, definitely.
Not as dodgy as in this one, though...
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
The refereeing in that game was utterly inexcusable. He started as soon as we went 4-0 up. Starting giving them everything and letting everything they did go. There was an appalling challenge on Arshavin, right through the back of him- he didnt even give the foul and then gave a foul against Diaby a second later.
THe sending off was a joke- Barton's challenge was at least a yellow and I think his third of the game, Diaby was sent off for doing far less than Nolan did in response to it. When does retaliation end?
THe second penalty was ludicrous and the actions of Nolan and Barton on our keeper in retrieving the ball should have been another yellow or red each. Again unpunished.
What a ****ing ****.
That said, it was pathetic from us.
