Another very good shout - we did play very well but my overiding feeling was how impressed I was that Dunney kept up with Bellamy in order to concede the penalty..........Some good memories in this thread.
FA cup defeat at Newcastle 1-0 when Keegan was our manager. We were a division below them, down to 10 men yet outplayed them for most of the game. Took a great following there too. One of those rare games where a defeat felt like a victory.
Another great game - got the call about 9:30 on the Sunday morning that I had got a ticket (I owe a lot of favours to the guys that have got me my tickets down the years)............Think its been mentioned already on this thread but the one one at Old Trafford when the Goat equalised, one of my brothers mates played for the rag youth team so got his complementary tickets off him in the home end. Berkovic, Foe and Jensen took it to arguably one of the best rag sides ever. Thought we were gonna get hammered when Van Nistlerooy scored early but we stabilised and the Goat popped up to nod home SWPs free kick.
Had to sit on my hands to stop myself jumping up, then a few minutes after Anelka put the Goat in again and he scored, couldnt resist I jumped up and blew my cover. Unfortunately it got ruled out for hand ball, not a single one of the chinese tourists batted and eye lid, plus points for the all the blues in the away end singing 'fuck off back to London' at the end. The rags didnt like it one bit.

Something along the likes of 9 seconds on the pitch, 1 touch, 1 goal Shaun Goater.....
Just when I thought I couldn't love the man any more
Took Mrs Onholiday to that one (what a lucky lady she is) - think I went over some seats when that one went in.......Micah’s 94th min goal to equalise at Villa was a good draw too!
the 8-1 was brilliant. we didn't give a fuck lol.
