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.
Nope ;-)Am I allowed to say United 4-3 City?
2nd attemptNope ;-)

The 1981 Cup Final (replay)
The rags were fuming coming out after the game! Never forget this cockney twat shouting, fuck of bsck to Stockport!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.

Absolutely piss funny
Massive as they like to say!They were indeed, they even did their standard stuff of rounding on blues on their own. Me and my brother toddled off to where the Audi garage is in Old Trafford humming ‘fuck of back to London’. Felt like a big achievement taking 4 points off them that season considering we hadn’t won against them 13 years previously to that. United hated the site of the Goat that year he terrorised them.
Great moment but he actually smashed a very low grass-cutting screamer which hit the inside of the post and went in the opposite corner. The in-off-the-post suspense made the celebration even better. This, however, was topped in the next round at Blackpool where we equalized in injury time after an incredible goal-mouth melee involving 15 players. This is now on youtube and the celebration behind the goal is a sight to see. I was actually in an overflow section on the side for Blues who got in the Blackpool end and got loads of abuse being escorted round the pitch.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
