The "Remember When..." Thread

[tommytowne]

if you wernt a season ticket holder , you got a priority voucher at an unannounced home match , remember my 1st one I got against Middlesboro - chuffed , hid it and checked it was there daily !

Upcoming cup matches, semi finals, and finals (yes, I'm talking about us!), you tried to anticipate what games the vouchers would be given.

Remember the Changy game at half time?

Possibly my favourite game I've been too.Sebastian Frey had the game of his life the tit

Just in terms of shear momentary joy, I don't think a goal sticks out more than that one for me... mad to think that such elation was followed so quickly by utter gloom.

There are some other goals (usually late in games) from the Moyes era that really stick out in my mind too. Pienaar chip against Arsenal, Gosling in the cup against the RS, Saha in the cup final.... Jelavic's second in that 4-4 against United (paddy power had him at 50-1 for two or more despite having scored 3 braces in a row.... £££££££)

Remember when a Jack Russell dog cost us a goal at The Hawthorns, 1976 !

Vividly. I got married that date, asking the kitchen staff at my reception to keep me updated as they had a transistor.

One that always sticks out in my mind is the Jelavic one against spurs in the last minute to win 2-1. Vellios with the crap overhead and Jelavic just bags, I think i fell a couple of rows in the Upper Gwladys

That was the 7-1 v Sunderland too, I was sat upper Gwladys front row, bang in the middle of the goal. Just have the image of a massive ballsack stepping up to take a crossbar challenge burned into my retinas.

When i felt confident going into the derby matches.

Not felt that for a long long time.

Remember when the Club decided to put the Villarreal tickets on general sale so season ticket holders almost lost out. Had to queue up for the entire day round the Park End.

Oh yes, I remember this... another one of those "his second touch is a celebration" goals. Jaysus, after those 6 months I really thought we had found an absolute gem of a striker - pity it all fell apart for him, playing in China now the last few seasons.

We've had that a few times... strikers that started off really well and then tapered off quite quickly. Yakubu had to be one of the best finishers we had at the club, always confident of him scoring when the ball was at his feet in the box... and by then end he was one of the most frustrating players to watch just because of how static he was.

remember when we signed riquelme... or so the official website had us believe!

We were the best team in the league only to blow it one night in Oxford. Then battering them lot for an hour at Wembley only to loose 3-1. OMG.
