I was there, but did not go to the replay. Could not help but feel that the decision to reply the game cheated us out of feeling cheated.

 

[blade too long]

what he said , wenger was very sly offering a home replay , he didnt say lets call it a draw , ohh no

our equaliser was mint , the celebration tremendous, the organised shame on ARSENAL youve been cheating will live long in the memory

 

[broomhillblade]

Went to both. The first was the most angry I've been at a football match (probably the only time in fact). The replay was a complete anti-climax.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Yep, went to both too. Wouldn't be arsed now

 

[1973_Blade]

I went to the first, but wasn't able to get to the replay. It was a shocking moment that we couldn't believe. Bruce was tempted to take the team off. If could have been sorted by the Arsenal team letting us score immediately after the restart.

I think I once read that some Arsenal players, particularly the apparently distraught David Seaman, wanted this to happen but the referee said he'd send everybody off if they did.

Me too

 

[pommpey]

Me too

This is true, Silent. I mean, how good does it feel because of:

1. Michael Tonge being deliberately obstructed by the ref in the 2003 semi final

2. Don Givens. I mean, cunt or what?

3. Liverpool pen at the Lane with Morgan

4. Tevez

5. Webber post hit

6. McCabe

It's what makes us Blades, I tell yer!

I was there for both. Same old arsenal, always cheating. Brucie, take em off, brucie, brucie....

That second chant just seems wrong now

All that in the last 10 years....

[ZoneManWilf]

There for both as well (easier as I was a London Blade back then). The sense of anger after the first game was something to behold, Unitedites stomping down the street in full voice chanting about Arsenal's cheating, and all the gooners simply silent. Replay was a strange one, we got murdered early (I recall Bergkamp particularly well) but there were a couple of tense moments for them after we pulled one back.

 

[drinksmat]

Just the first game. Heard about the "replay" offer on the tube, thought it was a joke.

Snap i was on the tube, thought it was a joke, got back to the pub we called home for the day and it was confirmed on the TV. Went to the replay bit of an anti climax but a good effort. It was at this point we were getting all excited about a young Lee Morris ended up selling him obviously, oh yeah and we had Marcelo.

4. Tevez


pommpey

In the 1980s Ernie Hunt revealed in a Sunday paper that Southampton players were bribed not to win the last match against Coventry in 1968. The match ended in a 0-0 draw and Coventry finished a point ahead of us and finished 3rd from bottom (it was two up and 2 down these days).

1993-94. Segers letting in a soft shot by Graham Stuart and we got relegated so the Tevez case was the 3rd time we shouldnt have got relegation!

Forgot about Segers. Did both him and Stuart once play for us as well? That day was a fucking travesty, Silent. Hadn't heard about the Ernie Hunt scam. Of course, we were properly seen off for a sixth place in the 70s as well, were we not?

Deliberately?

That's ridiculous.

And yet had we got a draw in the games we were playing we wouldn`t have gone down.

I'm as big an exponant of the "Tevez travesty" as anyone, but even I can accept that we had it in our pwoer to make it Wigans problem, not ours...

the celebration after Marcello s equaliser were epic, excellent following

 

[blade too long]

were you there

Tottenham players celebrate one of Sandy Brown's goals in the 1901 FA Cup final against Sheffield United at Crystal Palace. The game finished 2-2 in front of a crowd of 110,820, with Spurs winning the replay 3-1 a week later in Bolton. The London club are still the only non-League side to win the competition. You may well have noticed the different markings on the pitch in those days and that's William 'Fatty' Foulke retrieving the ball from the United net

the goal keeping circle looks strange
THE REPLAY


ONLY 20000 WATCHED SPURS WIN 3-1, BUT 110000 WATCHED US IN A FINAL

 

[TopBoy]

Went to both, stuck in the Arsenal end on both occasions

 

[Grecian2000]

Pretty sure Bergs will be apopleptic with rage when he sees all those Spurs (5) players and so few defenders (2) around our goal. Must have been a hint of offside about it though . . . .
