I think West Brom with Robson as manager/Keiran Richardson etc was a good shout. Wasn’t it first time that a team bottom at Christmas had escaped?
1997, As we only survived because Middlesbrough were deducted 3 points. Won 1 game in Jan, Feb and March before Beating Liverpool at Anfield and Chelsea at home and of course beating Spurs away on the last day.
For me ours was when we won the last 3 games to stay up in 85 (Or was it 86).
The Pompey fans positive reaction to losing 0-2 to Albion to send their hated neighbours down, was one of the funniest things I've seen in football ! Remember that Norwich needed a positive result at Fulham to stay up and got beaten, I think, 6-0 !WBA is the best there. They were not just bottom at Christmas but bottom with half an hour of the final game of the season remaining too
Pompey played a changed team that day I think and Southampton went down losing 2-1 to a strong Man United

Just to Clarify, Which one is your son?
My son, Chris Wright, had the great fortune to be the ‘luckiest mascot ever’! We were both in the tunnel and remember Peter Ndlovu saying to Chris ‘You’ll be happy WHEN we win this match’. Yes, when not if. Always remember that positivity!

That wasn't the top flight like the PL is thoughFor me ours was when we won the last 3 games to stay up in 85 (Or was it 86).
White Hart Lane last day of season for me
Agreed. But selfishly, I’m glad we didn’t go down! I was only 15 at the time, I would’ve been more devastated than when we actually did go down. In school with a load of Utd, Liverpool and Villa fans would’ve been unbearable! At least I could avoid them when we actually went down!I've said it on here many times that was a great day but with hindsight, if we'd gone down that day, I dont think we'd have for ourselves into the mess we did.

that was amazing , Stoke away we were 1 up and they missed a pen late on , what a massive miss that was, then of course we did Luton and then the Legendry win over the then champions Everton , What a pair of weeks that was !
You got the wrong season TS. We did ok in the league in 86/87 without bothering the top 6 or anywhere near relegation.The gargles dimmed my brain? Got it my head that they missed a last minute penalty? Friday night at the Victoria Ground before the Cup Final? Can't recall the Luton game but the Everton march they turned up on a Sunday with flip flops and sombreros and we won about a zillion to nil! What a club.

I was at HR for the Luton game referred to above. Time was very short when Killer sort of mis-hit a long range shot that bounced up and passed Les Sealey by into the Luton goal. Cue outrageous celebrations and Sealey doing his nut as he'd been getting well deserved dogs abuse from the West End in the 2nd half !
Apologies. Again pre- dementia but I definitely was at HR for a relegation game against QPR (definitely, I think ,lol). We won and everybody was on the pitch celebrating because we'd sent Leicester down...but we haddened!! Help, I'm old and drunk!!You got the wrong season TS.
