Last Games of The Season in the Past. (1 Viewer)

[Sumo the Micky Quinn]

Does anyone remember the two seasons in a row, we had nothing to play for and we played the new League title holders?

Season 89-90
We played, Liverpool already crowned champions, at Highfield Road we get hammered at home 6-1. Still we finish in 12th.

Season 90-91
We played, Arsenal already crowned champions, at Highbury we get hammered 6-1. We finish 16th, 10pts clear.

Then we eagerly await the fixture list, who will we play last game of the season, FFS its Villa at Villa Park.

Remmber them well: wasn't the Arsenal damage done by Brian Marwood and Anders Limpar? Now they were proper wingers.

Ha, yes indeed. Ended up with us needing a point at Villa Park to guarantee our safety...and Cyrille scores for them after 20 seconds. Biggest anti-climax to the start of a game ever.

Might end up 6-1 on Sat mind you...

Wasn't at Arsenal the game, but yes Limpar scored a hat trick.

I was at the Liverpool game, Barnes ripped us apart scoring a hat trick. I can't remember if this was the game when Peake (one of his few cock-ups) made a side ways pass straight to Barnes and scored. If only Barnes played like this for England.

Loved the football played under Sillett, Wingers inchanging play with the full backs. Downs or Dobson/Smith Borrows/Bennett confusing teams by playing on the oposite wing.

Ah the Villa game, Cyrille.

I couldn't make it to Villa Park, had to take my missus to work, she worked for the Telegraph at that time dishing out free papers in the city Centre with free gifts. At the time of the kick off I was in the telegraph office waiting for my missus to finish off. As usual for woman they can't just say bye and go, so I waited and waited, fortunatly I had my little radio with me.
Some of the woman she was talking to were not inpressed when 'F***, B******, C***, Villa T***' then I got a punch in the arm from my missus, 'whats going on', forgetting where I was to glued to the radio, to reply with 'That C*** W***** Cyrille Regis has probably sent us down'. She got the message then it was time to go.
