I could be wrong but one of Gary Mabbutt's knee's looks a bit iffy.

Yeah I remember in the 90s coverage started about 9am on the BBC and they'd show the whole build up, Interviews with managers, Team bus arriving, Highlights from each teams route to the final and all without McDonald's trying to make me buy a burger or Ray Winstone or Brian Blessed shouting at me to put a bet on. It was great.

FFS Burge.

The standard of this goalkeeping makes the women goalkeepers look like world beaters.

In my memory we were behind clemence in the second half but there were loads of spuds fans in there too.

21of the players on the pitch are from the home nations. Compare that to just 5 in the 2019 final. Just shows how much the game has evolved at the top level whether that’s for the better or for the worse....

Nasty challenge by Peake taking both legs of his man off the ground!
Surprised no card shown by the referee

Why did they need to change it?

Remember being on both BBC1 and ITV. Loved channel flicking between the two.

The FA Cup final was our own Super Bowl. How I miss all this.

Don't you mean BBC1 and Central? :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

From what I’m seeing, our players were there for a day out. The smiles from the players and Sillett and Curtis are nice to see. In the other camp, sour faced Pleat, serious Tottenham faces - like they absolutely can’t stand the fact we didn’t roll over and gave them a game.

Like the bunch of cunts you’d come up against at 5-a-side taking things way too seriously.

Never noticed before, but how come Spurs are missing sponsors on half their kits?

I think it’s fair to say nobody outside of Coventry gave us much chance. When Allen’s goal went in I was convinced we were going to get hammered. Well, until Benno scored and then it felt like it was gonna be our day.

Lucky save? Piss off! Great save. Made up for his first half performance

(Oggy really was the 87 version of Burge wasn’t he!!)

“GARY MABBUTT’S KNEE”. Reminds me of going through the gates to the West Terrace. Was it a fanzine or something?
