Favourite City game.....they didn’t win !

2-2 quarter final game at Everton 1981,we had behind the goal and down the side and when Power made it 2-2 it was unbelievable.

in this downtime I have been reminiscing with a few blues over a pint....

We all love a good win, but what about the classic matches we don’t win.

Mine is a 2-2 draw away to Huddersfield in 3rd round FA Cup in Jan 88 ( I think ! ) - nearing in mind this was a team we had stuck 10 past a few weeks earlier we travelled in large confident numbers - 1 nil up comfortable.

Then bang bang 2-1 down and time running out. We threw everything st them and couldn’t score deep into injury time we get a free kick a good 25 yards out. Gidman is over the ball - I shout ‘don’t let that red bastard take it’.....bang top corner - bedlam !! Great cup match and start of an epic cup run

I was at that game too. I thought it was bottom corner (!) as the pitch slope meant I couldn't see the goalline at the far end. My memory tells me it was about an 8 man wall as well.
McNab had been sent off after pursuing someone from halfway line to corner flag kicking them all the way.

Bedlam is exactly right though.

It's the first thing that always comes to mind thinking about that match. :-)

I'll go for the 1-1 draw at Millwall in the 3rd tier when Lee Bradbury's late equaliser shut those moronic fuckwits up.

When we weren't let out afterwards because Millwall fans were fighting the riot squad? And Royle said he was thankful not to have won as it would have been even worse?

Not because it was a good game (it was terrible), but a 0-2 midweek match at Ipswich in the late 90s springs to mind.

On the train back to London, I didn't pick my programme up, and another Blue handed it to me joking it might be worth something some day.

He then finished with "Keep the Faith, eh?"

As a parting comment in those days, perfect.

1-1 at the swamp in 2003. The Goat equalised and had a winning goal disallowed. Berkovic was unplayable

That's the one, the cops let us go at about 10.40pm. Bradbury also missed a good chance for a winner in stoppage time which would certainly have made things interesting!

1-1 at Blackpool in the cup

Lakey’s crazy last minute equaliser


1-1 at Villa when Micah scored the late late leveller
