I got Barnsley in the raffle. So I wrote to them and they didnt even send me a letter back. Just some sticker of a dog. No letter or anything! "Just send him a sticker of a dog, he'll be happy with that." That's really weird. We all had to to write to someone in English, and being Barnsley fans loads chose the club. We each got a letter back, a poster and autograph sheet. Maybe you just lucked out(this was back in the early 90's, the average attendances were around 5,000, so maybe they didn't get as much fan mail back then..)

Well Sunderland were in Division One at the time as well, so when he saw the return address maybe he thought I was Peter Reid under a fake name trying to tap Neil Redfearn up.

I lived on James Street, just off Eldon Street. I don't know whether that paper shop is still there, but I was on the street opposite that shop. I used to DJ in the Ice Bar on a Wednesday night and downstairs at what was then called The Lord Nelson on a Friday night briefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog Dude Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 3 hours ago, Keith Houchen said: I know it's all ifs and buts but that Man Utd team weren't dominant so it's a no from me. They were seconds away from losing the Champions League, Needed two extra time games in the semi of the FA cup and won the league on the last day of the season because Arsenal threw it away a week or so before. Sure, they still had to win them and it's an incredible thing to do, but they were three games removed from winning fuck all. The FA Cup semi-final only went to a replay because they wrongly had a goal disallowed in the original game, then they had to win it all over again when a player short 3 days later. You're right that Bayern Munich and Arsenal basically bottled the other two competitions, though. 1 hour ago, Cod Eye said: It's all wrong though, as Barnsley's 97/98 team with Jan Aage Fjortoft and Ashley Ward up top would have spanked them all(except the United team, who beat us 7-0. And the Chelsea team, who beat us 6-0. Or the Arsenal team who put on the best defensive display I've ever seen live. Not City though, they were Division 1 at a the time!) Focus on the FA Cup result against Man United that season, not the league game. Man City weren't just in Division One back then, they finished 22nd! What a difference a Sheikh makes...

AdamTH17 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Great performance that. Salah was brilliant, Keita continues to boss our midfield and Fabinho is improving every game. I'd change nothing for the Napoli game barring TAA coming into the team. If we start Henderson I'll cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Football is shit. Or is it Coventry are shit. Winning one nil at Walsall going into stoppage time and end up losing. I know exactly how those Bayern fans felt now as it's the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) That league table is a proper old Premier League one. Norwich and Leeds up the top end, 94 style. Bolton and Ipswich fucking about at the bottom. How many has Jeremy Goss scored this year?
