Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 14, 2023 Site Supporter Posted July 14, 2023 Despite relegation, I loved that season. Felt like we'd really arrived when Beardsley and Elliot signed. Shame it didn't last long Quote

I got home from that match to find the rozzers at our house. Our car had been nicked form Asda car park and used in a petrol station drive away. Where were you this afternoon sir ? Where do you think constable ? In my big coat and scarf and bob hat, programme and ST in pocket, freezing my bollocks off and full of ale ? Quote

Blake missed a 1-on-1 at Blackburn at 2-1 in the last minute. They went down the other end and scored a third. Blake also missed an open goal at Leicester in a 0-0 draw. Not knocking him, he was great that season (according to my nine year old self that is). Bob Taylor hit the bar from a yard out against Southampton (who we mullered but couldn’t score) that would’ve given us a win. These are just off the top of my head. Certainly one nailed on pen that wasn’t given too (Cox & Wimbledon). I know they say it all evens out, but I used to recite numerous occasions where we missed points because of refereeing decisions/missed chances that season. Should never have gone down. Wouldn’t change a thing in hindsight for what the next decade brought. Home to Southampton battered them start to finish and lost 2-0 . Seem to remember some stat that if the game was 85 minutes long we would have finished mid table and if it was 80 minutes long we would have finished 4th . Quote

That was the first season in Prem at Burnden. Think it was 26 points lost in last 15 mins. Quote

The late points deffo Burnden, if not both. We had... Everton home -Rideout 85th ish Qpr - Danny Dichio 90ish Colin Cooper twice Amongst others. Curcic picked things up for a bit. Beat boro away and then leeds away with black sunday in the middle. Quote

W.cramp Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Not sure where football ventures come into all these games. Quote
Moderators Zico Posted July 15, 2023 Moderators Posted July 15, 2023 Late points season was definitely burden Black Sunday was part of a run that actually saw us get 16 from 27 points We were miles better second half of the season under Todd alone but damage was already done Chuck in the 98 points season and the last day relegation, we weren't a bad team at all under Todd, and he signed some good players Quote

What the fuck were we thinking with joint managers by the way. Another 4am kitchen job that. Quote

Another 4am kitchen job that. Said it before but Rioch and Todd weren't far off joint managers Had a football focus interview on VHS from around the time of the Liverpool FA cup games where they said as much So when Rioch left the board were looking for some sort of continuity though not sure they had to go with him just because he played with them both at derby as well Quote
tomski Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Curcic was stunning that season too. Genuinely the most gutted I’ve been at a player leaving. Blake to Blackburn was up there too. Mad when you think we lost Mcateer and Stubbs had gone in his mind (though from memory he gave a good fist of it) Sadly we were out of our depth though. I never thought we’d make it back. Let alone do 11 years on the bounce. Quote
