Happy 5-1 day

[Spurs quarter 69]

Said to a rag at work the Monday after " watch the game Daren ?" his response "no and I won't watch them again while that scotch c**t is in charge". Clever fellows these rags.

I know we needed to move to improve, but God I miss the atmosphere at Maine Road, all real fans where swearing and being vocal was allowed, not a phone camera in sight and no snowflakes offended by someone venting

Shit, I got old :(

I was 15 that day. Still one of my greatest.

A couple of years older and it really was amazing, one of my favourite ever days on the Kippax, along with the Charlton game which was also 5-1 iirc and similarly with some early goals to get everyone bouncing

That rag side was the most expensive side ever assembled in English football at the time and we absolutely dicked them

Remember coming out of Brentford in the week after losing 2-1 and saying how the hell are we going to beat the scum.Little did i know.
Brilliant day.

Ditto.
We were awful at Brentford, and every blue feared the worst for the next game...typical City.

Following Season 3-1 up drew 3-3, threw it away.

White v Donkey Donaghy = Game Over

Correct.
And Lake v an ageing Viv Anderson.no contest.
Lake destroyed him.

Even scarier is my lad turned 15 a fortnight ago!!

So to recap, he has seen six Prem titles, six League Cups and two FA Cups.

In the same period, beating United 5-1 was about as good as it got until the Stoke Final in 2011.

I think it's fair to say the likes of our generation were more than owed this last decade!
