Sorry l thought l had deleted 'Cup finals,'.Lost to West Ham in 75 with Bobby Moore in the team didn't they?
Your average Redshirt fanboy would be sneering and pointing out that the definition of history is in fact the number of trophies won since a date specified by them rather than the excepted definition as a study of the past.
Hmm.I remember seeing footage of them at Wembley at the 86 Cup Final.
Fans already inside were reaching over barriers from an elevated position inside the stadium and lifting ticketless Dippers by the hands into the stadium in their droves.
This was 3 years before Hillsborough and 1 year after Heysel yet the Hillsborough enquiry made some kind of statement in the report saying that Liverpool fans didn't have a history of this type of behaviour.
Am I missing something?
Saints v Rags 1976, a bit before my time but didn't the late Bobby Stokes score the winner in a team including the late Peter Osgood.Sorry l thought l had deleted 'Cup finals,'.
Fulham played West Ham. I had the pleasure of watching 2nd Division Southampton and the Arsenal beating the rags who had equalised with a minute to go before Graham Sunderland won it in time added.
One or two more but l am testing my memory rather than googling.
Do you remember when we played them at Etihad earlier this season?It will be a massive game for them when they play us next week, we can live with a draw but they can't, this time around the pressure is on them, we don't have to go all out, let them take risks and wait for opportunities from their makeshift center defence, we need pace in the front Sterling and Foden must start. A good time to play them and get a win there.
Loving the post, but the spacing in your brackets is an absolute disgrace.The Moores family basically bank rolled them out of the 2nd Division using money generated from Littlewoods Pools which was the only legalised form of gambling at the time ( for "Dirty Oil Money" read "Dirty Gambling Money")
They signed players like Ian St John for fees and paid wages that many established 1st Division clubs couldn't afford at the time.
Some older posters will know more but I'm sure they signed some other Scottish players and were referred to as The McMercenaries.
In their past history they were formed by a local business man ( John Houlding) who became their Tory Lord Mayor (so much for them being a big socialist club eh) who gave them a free stadium and bought them a whole team of top class players to enable them to win the league.
After he died, they faded into obscurity for years (with the exception of 1 league title just after the war) and were wallowing in Division 2 and didn't emerge as a force until they were bankrolled by The Moores family.

Yes I was level with where Stokes scored from possibly offside but in those days there wasn't the technical analysis and effort to declare it off side we would get now. Doing a pub crawl that night in Camden area with two miserable rags was strange but I did my best to enjoy the moment.Saints v Rags 1976, a bit before my time but didn't the late Bobby Stokes score the winner in a team including the late Peter Osgood.
One of my mates told me that the Rags won a derby match not long after losing to Saints.
At the time we were league cup holders and thry were singing that they'd rather win the derby than the cup.
The sad twats can't even sing that these days:)
Here’s the footage but it will be deleted soon.
“This event could bury the painful memories of a year ago in Brussels”
Of all the things said about 39 innocent people dying at a game at the hands of these scrotes they thought the world would forget because of a FA cup Mersey derby. The world hasn’t forgot but it’s true the memories are buried.
You can see the charge at the turnstiles.
Sorry FLAG but it’s the worst accent in the whole world, it’s like the body is trying to hold the words back but they are fighting their way out ...Chester was full of people with plastic Scouse accents. I actually don't mind real Scouse accents but the plastic one just grates my ears. My ex-stepsister used to talk like that, as did I before I knew better.
