The Ghost's of the 1981 FA Cup Final?

I'll never forgive or forget. They broke an 18 year old's heart back in 1981. Cockney c**ts.

exactly

Villa's winner was not a brilliant goal. It was the result of disgraceful defending.

It looks worse every time I see it.

Just asked my dad about this, he said...

"Oh yeah i remember that, proper kick in the bollocks that was for you, ask the older ones they will remember it if they remember just one thing"

Poor old bastards, if my dad shows sympathy it must have sucked pretty bad.

Tough old loyal blue bastards with long memories thank you.

Losses like this just made me more determined to be blue

Shit like citeh, massive, bertie, Stockport, banner this, 3007 that etc etc etc all made us more loyal and more awkward towards anyone else especially Spurs and Utd etc

I was 20 at the time and went to both matches. The hurt from those two games stayed with me right until we beat Stoke in 2011.

I often wonder would my generation of supporter have remained as loyal and at times been as sheer bloody minded in our support
had we won in '81? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. If we collectively hadn't had the 1981 chip on our shoulders would we
have survived the late 90s in the numbers we did? We will never know.

I think I only finally stopped hating Spurs after we had won the League in 2012. They after all haven't won it since 1961.

To meet them and beat them in another FA Cup final would bring final closure. Sadly that won't be this year.
