Fantastic side mixing it with the best. If we'd still had Dion and put him in that side instead of Roussel and it would've been incredible.

Roussel wins his fair share though considering who he is up against!

Massive part of Keane doing so well.

Who was the recruitment guy then was it someone Clarke?
Remember after this game he was saying his opposite number at Arsenal had rang him saying how did he spot Roussell and that everyone at Arsenal was raving about his performance.

Yes get in 2-0 Hadji

No idea. Complimented Keane so well though.

What a goal by Hadji!! That's how I remember him!

 

[LastGarrison]

Yes get in 2-0 Hadji

Andy Gray slagging him off as well!

 

[speedie87]

Great half of football

 

[LastGarrison]

No Sky Blue Crew?

How much better is PUSB when it is slowed down like the old days. Not sure why we sing it at 100mph these days.

Because these days most folk are too desperate to look at their phone and check how their accumulator is getting on.

 

[LastGarrison]

What a goal that was.

 

[clint van damme]

Sat here chewing my nails - daft bastard

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

What a goal that was.

I really liked Suker as a player. Thought he was class, Never really got a chance at Arsenal though with Henry, Bergkamp, Kanu and Ljungberg.

I know what you mean.

Was always a bit of a super sub at Arsenal. Which considering the player he was seems a bit harsh.

Suppose it just goes to show how good that Arsenal team was!

 

[Gman1987]

What a goal that was.

If only I’d of had a left foot like that

I did. Unfortunately it was on the end of my right leg

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Really enjoyed that....it was good to fill in the blanks as I only had a drunken hazey memory of it being a cracking game....

...what time k.o was this match out of interest....I remember watching it in the boozer with loads of my old school mates but all a bit blurry

 

[matesx]

Come on come on sky blue army

While the sky is blue we’ll never lose....


Forgot that tune

So had I fortunately. Fucking dross.
Who was it? Sure they were locals

 

[oscillatewildly]

Hopefully we'll get there again in the next few years.... We could be the new Burnley.

At the close of the 1960's, weren't Burnley championed (by the media) as going to be the 'Team of the 1970's'? I'd be happy to steer clear of comparisons with Burnley.

Not 'Jimmy Jimmy'?

Pretty sure it was 8pm

The Believers.

I assumed they lost their faith at the end of the next season.....

In all fairness you could have left Roussel where he was and put Dion at CB, the team would
have been massively improved with Dion’s calming influence and prowess at the back.

As I remember it was roughly a 5pm ko

 

[olderskyblue]

It was Boxing Day, so I assume normal 3pm kick off ?

No it was later I’m sure, other games at 3pm then live on SKY after that I believe.

Fairly sure it was, think maybe 5pm

 

[christonabike]

At one point in the game you could see a clock above a stand and it showed 5 to 6.
Fook knows I was there but it’s so long ago I feel old! My daughter was born 4 years later! She is 16 :0

 

[christonabike]

5.30 kick off

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Good signing for me.
Gave the better footballers licence to play.

Agreed. His fall out with Strachan was definitely a factor in our relegation from the Prem.

 

[AlansEyes]

Really enjoyed that. Brought back a lot of memories, unfortunately one of then was what a truly dreadful footballer Paul Williams was. The defence was a real blindspot for Strachan for his entire tenure.

Williams was terrible
Though their attack terrorised defences at the time yet we stopped Henry from scoring so maybe give him a little bit of credit
