gilbertoAVFC Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I seem to remember that it was all going very swimmingly and then THAT Stoke (possibly the worst I've ever felt because you could see it was coming even at 2-0 up) game happened and then THAT game in Moscow happened. Just no recovery from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 as a pedant the Moscow game came before Stoke but i do agree, dont want to blame him as not his fault but signing of Heskey cost us 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Ah you're right. So many good moments during the first half of that season: - Everton away. - Ajax at home. - Zat Knight vs Arsenal. I never get bored of watching the videos of them. Zat Knight's can be found somewhere I think - not on YouTube though. Lucky enough to have been at all three too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 as a pedant the Moscow game came before Stoke but i do agree, dont want to blame him as not his fault but signing of Heskey cost us 4th Agreed all of the above, plus the loss of Martin Laursen hit us hard. So close, but yet so far. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 5, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted September 5, 2011 I watched it at home, on my own. It really is one of my biggest regrets that I wasn't down the pub to watch that one. Would have been awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Everton is one of those games everyone talks about where they were when it happened. No other game in recent time is like that, that's when you know it's great Oh and I was at home with my Dad. It was hilarious, was like watching with Richard ...dad "We're going to concede, I can tell, we do this all the time, if they score, I ain't supporting Villa again" ......2 mins later, Everton score ....Dad throws control at TV, walks out room ....30 seconds later ...me "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" ....Dad runs in "GET INNN!!!! LOVE THE VILLLAAAAAA!!!!" And they say us fans are fickle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The end of the Everton game was so amazing that almost everybody forgets that Steve Sidwell scored an absolute screamer after about 30 seconds too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other game in recent time is like that, that's when you know it's great only other games of MON era like that was United at Old Trafford, Carling Cup final 5-1 and maybe Ajax game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
