By that rationale wouldn’t the fairest thing be to scrap the whole season - null and void it - and pretend it never happened?

Would’ve thought we’d have more chance of signing him if Villa stay up. Not that I think we’ve got much chance either way.

Wegerle? I think I saw him have one good game, against swindon. Could turn it on but he was no Gallacher. Yeah, It’s a fair point about Jones. I think he did ok at another World Cup but he never set the world alight.

Hahaha! Well, he wasn’t the best but he did go on to have a good career. Maybe he was just too young when we had him?

And Chippo!

I seem to remember it feeling like a ‘done deal’ at the time. I think he might have had a decent World Cup?

Also, given that Liverpool are so far ahead, completing the season would be almost irrelevant. The excitement of seeing who finishes 4th!

Hmmm, is it just about athleticism? You might be right. As a teenager I played in the same Sunday League team as Iyseden Christie. Now, don’t get me wrong, he was great and deserved a career in football. I saw him score 10 goals in a game once. He was also comparatively very big and athletic...

I remember reading Fever Pitch, and Nick Hornby makes the same point about Arsenal ‘legend’ Gus Caeser. He was the only player from the Arsenal youth team to ‘make it’, and how good he must have been to get that far, and yet was considered to be utter shite...clearly he wasn’t compared to most...

Sorry but that’s not the Paul Edwards I remember! I thought he was terrible. Signed to replace Downs...and unfortunately was a like-for-like replacement!

Well, I’ve been telling the wrong story for a while then! Ah well. I remember Billing playing out on the wing one game. He wasn’t a winger.

Was that not Paul Edwards?

Im really enjoying the current motd format and I think all three have come across well. Like you say, Wright has been self-deprecating but also insightful. Which I hadn’t really expected. He can also be funny. I certainly don’t agree with some of the things he says all the time and he’s not...

If I remember rightly the bbc cut to st. Mirren fans going wild as the team did a lap of honour. Didn’t Jimmy Hill give a personal congratulations to the team as well? Lovely stuff!

Betamax or VHS?

I was a student, living in Tottenham at the time of this game. I’m ashamed to say, I got very, very drunk.

I credit myself with our relative success at Wembley. I’ve missed out on all of our wins there - my dad couldn’t get tickets (cup final), I had ticket but also had sciatica (fuck me it hurt) - checkatrade final, had a pre-booked holiday to croatia (playoff final - watched in a bar on my own -...

That’s fantastic! I’m also impressed that the EB remained in the school library. As a former Finham Park pupil clearly not all of the rumours we heard about Ullathorne were true!

Love those pics. Can you imagine fans being allowed to do any of the now?! I’ve got photo blown up and framed from the Portsmouth Evening News, of a Pompey crowd in the early 50s. Bang smack in the middle, as clear anything, are my grandad, great grandad, and great uncle. Most people are...

That might have been my first game! Brian Stein winner?
