    The guy is a fucking idiot and got what he deserved. In a world where social media plays such a part you can be dismissed from work for gross misconduct ‘liking’ idiotic posts is only going to antagon

  • Hi all; been a long time voyeur on the site and a few things I've seen have made me pants twitch.  But as a Wanderer for over 50 years;  reading a lot of the stuff on this thread and in the general pr

  • I saw the truth from the beginning ffs  KA’s job was to balance the books and spin plates till investment came. He’s done that with success so far. It just can’t carry on, we don’t have a Gary Ma

Knight sent two Wanderers off at Selhurst in the same season as his Ipswich performance.

Learn something new every day, I didn’t realise that.

 

Back to the top Knight you bastard

Are you sure?

I remember it being 0:0 as it was my first visit there and I'd only just moved down south. I don't recall a red card though....to be fair I was in a bit if a state for a change ????

Could be wolves or wycombe v palace or wimbledon

I’d thought of that!

Just had a look at that season.

 

There's some bizarre games I have no recollection of whatsoever.

 

Tranmere away first game and them beating us 3-2 at reebok being two. Seriously don't remember these, there's no doubt I'll have been at both as well.

 

Don't remember playing Grimsby at any point either. A 1-0 away win in March??

 

I must have been smashed on E's all season.

grimsby was possibly the fuel strike game

 

tranmere eidur missed in front of us from 6 yards

 

the 3-2, im sure we came back from 2 down

They need to issue guidlines of how supporteds trusts can engage with fans. The club engaging with the fans isn't the problem.

Outside prenton park some bloke in a Liverpool shirt leaving the ground calling me a Bolton twat. Never got my head round the Liverpool shirts in their end. Then a bloke in one having a go at me when he seemed to have got lost on the way to anfield. It was some miss by eidur.. Tranmere twats

Was looking at those seasons between the 97/98 relegation and the play off promotion season on Wikipedia just the other day actually. Feels like a strange, forgotten era of Bo Hansens, Arnar Gunnlaugssons and Dean Holdsworths.

 

Some wildly fluctuating home attendances too.

Aye it was a weird time.

 

The previous decade had been beyond belief, cup runs, giant killings, cup finals, winning the league, new ground and the place was rocking that first season.

 

Then it all went a bit flat. The reebok was all of a sudden half empty and the atmosphere went completely. Like you say we had some collection of players passing through the books, the likes of Paul Ritchie and Alan Johnson. John Newsome springs to mind too.

The latter formed an excellent partnership with warhust at centre half iirc.

Yes I remember that, didn’t get enough games together but certainly were a force together

I might be in a minority but I used to really enjoy going to the early round Worthington Cup games in that time too, barely anyone there but some brilliant games. Still felt bizarre for us to be playing in a ground like that to me and took about 3 or 4 years to wear off.

Some good players and decent runs as well for 3 top 6 finishes.

 

Was so pissed off with the 4 million standard sales in gudjohnsen and Jensen. Plus we had gunnlaugson becoming a world beater out of nowhere. Mad times

Just checked gunnlaguson career he never played more than 40 games for any of his clubs yet scored over 100 goals in the 300 odd games he started wonder if rumours of his homosexuality were true and if that worked against him, certainly was a talented lad.

That game where we played about 8 left backs at Bristol City and Deano in Centre mid, his Cruyff turn to put 2 defenders on their arse before sticking it in the top corner* gave me a massive boner

 

*cant be arsed checking if any of this was true, but it’s how I remember it

Thompson made it up didn't he?
