If Sheffield United had beat Chelsea on the same day we would have been relegated no matter what the result.
Yeah looked like it was either Brands or Benitez had to go as the fall guy to take the heat off the boardDon't mind Everton too much, must be hell having the worse neighbours in the world.
Their director of football Marcel Brands has just left his post with immediate effect, they've recruited shite in the past couple of years, big mistake giving Rafa the job which has fuelled loads of piss taking by the murderers.
I read that when the fan was having a go at brands after the Derby game, he replied 'is it just the players?'Don't mind Everton too much, must be hell having the worse neighbours in the world.

Welcome back, mate. Nice to see you again.Hi all. I have not been on here for months due to a few personal issues (I am OK). Popped back in to have a nose and say hi as I have enjoyed using this forum. Good to see City top and I hope you stay there.
As for Everton..I just despair, it is truly dreadful at the moment. Tomorrow night could be awful with the protest. Just hope we can get through it as we are sinking like a brick down the league.
Anyway, I am back in here, it will be on and off.
i've always assumed he did that deliberately. wasn't it for 100 prem league goals as well? no way was stuart pearce going to just be given that, not how stuart did things, so he skied it. could be completely wrong of course, but like to think that's what happenedYes..... and Pearce hit the back of the Platt Lane stand!!!!!!
100 career goals.i've always assumed he did that deliberately. wasn't it for 100 prem league goals as well? no way was stuart pearce going to just be given that, not how stuart did things, so he skied it. could be completely wrong of course, but like to think that's what happened
i know, fully remember that, but all he had to do was slot it, beasant did tell him as mentioned above, and he skied it. as i said, i could be wrong, but i always like to think that was deliberate. pearce was a legend, and i can imagine him refusing it to be handed on a plate to himself100 career goals.
Psycho was a full-back, remember.
This is the man who had his daughters toy pony as a lucky mascot and put David James up front......i know, fully remember that, but all he had to do was slot it, beasant did tell him as mentioned above, and he skied it. as i said, i could be wrong, but i always like to think that was deliberate. pearce was a legend, and i can imagine him refusing it to be handed on a plate to himself
KK said afterwards that he’d be remembered for 99 goals more than he would for 100.i know, fully remember that, but all he had to do was slot it, beasant did tell him as mentioned above, and he skied it. as i said, i could be wrong, but i always like to think that was deliberate. pearce was a legend, and i can imagine him refusing it to be handed on a plate to himself
People mock him for the Calamity thing, but it worked, as we won a penalty.This is the man who had his daughters toy pony as a lucky mascot and put David James up front......
Whilst i have no ill feeling towards everton, my enemies enemy is my friend and all that, plus in the 80s i always wanted them to win the league when we were never going to do so and to stop rags/dippers winning it .. i also have always thought they need to be relegated at some point after cheating relegation when hans segers took the bung in that last game of the season.
Everton 2-0 down but won 3-2 after segers let a few through his legs
Yeah i get that totally. And i dont mean they cheated relegation. But they still shouldve gone downYeah but Everton weren't involved in the fixing so it's hard to make the case they deserved to be relegated because of it even if they did unwittingly benefit from it.
No because he played in what is now the championship in 93/94 so a few of his goals came in that season. He also said he was retireing so i doubt he missed on purposei've always assumed he did that deliberately. wasn't it for 100 prem league goals as well? no way was stuart pearce going to just be given that, not how stuart did things, so he skied it. could be completely wrong of course, but like to think that's what happened
aye, someone rightly pointed out it would've been 100 career goals. knew it was 100 something, just got it wrong with the premier league goals bitNo because he played in what is now the championship in 93/94 so a few of his goals came in that season. He also said he was retireing so i doubt he missed on purpose
I dont disagree. Just feel they dodged it a bitYeah but Everton weren't involved in the fixing so it's hard to make the case they deserved to be relegated because of it even if they did unwittingly benefit from it.
He retired after playing for City in the second tier in 2001-02; eight years after that.No because he played in what is now the championship in 93/94 so a few of his goals came in that season. He also said he was retireing so i doubt he missed on purpose
