He also got a serious injury that night - sadly that wasn't negated by the fog. Burnley if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even allowing for the fact that it was a late equaliser, and thus cost us 2 points, that was a fantastic goal, by a fantastic player... and his "celebration" was as respectful (towards DCFC) as it could have possibly been. Absolutely no bitterness for that, from me. POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Agree - it was a belter of a header from a superb keeper who is still rightfully loved here. 28 minutes ago, ivo_knoflicek said: No bitterness towards Poom, who is a legend. It's more that these things always get done against us - we never do them to other teams. Like the Bury FA Cup Final record, etc.. But that I also agree with! It's such a Derby County thing to happen. I was sat there in the NE corner and when he came up for the corner I said out loud "he's going to score". I just knew it, because why wouldn't he? It's Derby County for crying out loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I only started watching us in 2001 so these can't really compete with clough years. 1) 3 amigos- they caused havoc and sold off our best assets for a pittance. Under Burley we saw beautiful football and could have had some real success if only we hadn't had Jeremy Keith at the helm... 2) Marriott not starting at Wembley- If we'd have started with the team that finished that game we'd have won and gone up. 3) Keeping Jewell- We blew our shot of getting up the next year by signing so many useless players. We 'rebuilt' the squad with utter dross which held us back for years afterwards. 4) 2014-2015 season- Just THE most frustrating season that I can remember. Without our squad being decimated by injuries we storm the league that season and would have in my opinion established ourselves as a good premier league side. 5) General stupidity and mismanagement- I don't know why but we as a club do seem to suffer exceptionally badly with generally awful decisions at the top and mismanagement. Luckily we seem to be in cracking hands with Mel. I'm just hoping that gypsy curse has finally lost its power.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not see it as such a big thing at the time but, as I get older and it ever happening seems to become more a remote possibility, I have become even more bitter about it. Absolutely detest Liverpool. I’m amazed this is the first mention. The definition of bitterness for me. Denied as a 10 year old to travel away to Europe with my dad watching Deano, Oohmark and Shiltz. Then sold to the bamfords that caused us to miss out. I laugh every time Liverpool ‘slip up’ and they are the only English team I never support in Europe. Whole lot of them are arrogant self absorbed entitled whining bamfords. Is that bitter enough for the thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that full history though, or over the past 40 odd years? (My post being in response to @BaaLocks', and his reference to being "fortunate enough - just - to see the glory years" and him referring to the "under performing" since.) In terms of all time performance we are 16th if you take this format https://www.worldfootball.net/alltime_table/eng-premier-league/ And 11th in two points for a win https://www.worldfootball.net/alltime_table/eng-premier-league/ Yet for Premier League we are 36th, showing our performance since the EPL was started has been way below that in the rest of our history https://www.statbunker.com/alltimestats/AllTimeLeagueTable?comp_code=EPL To answer the question, I just wanted to highlight (and I know the grass is always greener, many Pompey fans would swop with us in a heartbeat) that many other clubs of similar size as us have achieved levels of success that we have not matched. We've had our Bald Eagle days, we all roared when Trevor Christie scored against Rotherham but I am saying that I don't think we have done the things since 1976 that have matched the following: Leicester: League Cup win under O'Neill, can't think of anything else Stoke: FA Cup final Norwich: League Cup win, victory against Bayern Munoch Forest: FA Cup final, League Cup final, would have been nice if they'd ever done anything in Europe Portsmouth: FA Cup Middlebourough: UEFA Cup Final, League Cup, FA Cup final Ipswich: UEFA Cup, FA Cup Wolves: League Cup, Europa League Southampton: FA Cup final Watford: Two FA Cup finals Wigan: FA Cup win Coventry: FA Cup win Hull: FA Cup final I'm not saying I wanted to get tonked 6-0 at Wembley off Man City but the point is they got there. I'm not even thinking about teams like Bournemouth or Swansea that have established themselves for long periods in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The thing I’m most bitter about over the last few years was the media’s love in with ‘little’ Bournemouth who went up with a bigger wage bill than we did. Seriously flaunted FFP and got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I’m also incredibly bitter that the season we should have walked to the title we had injury after injury after injury culminating in the beginning of the end of us being that exciting club playing good football that outsiders kept an eye on.

David Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Leeds United. Bielsa sending a spy to watch our training sessions. The fact that to this day their fans are trying to justify it. Although at the same time I will confess to being slightly envious of how Leeds fans rally behind their club and defend it so passionately rightly or wrongly when outsiders are attack it. Still bitter though. Still catch myself shaking my head how low they stooped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me that there are a number of their fans that say it was our fault, and can't believe we complained about it, still, then have the gall to say we can't forget about it and keep going on about it.

I think there is a balance to be had without going full Leeds, where you can not condone the actions of the manager without attacking him or the club. That incident shouldn’t have had the prolonged discussions it had, but part of me admired their defence of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Lawrence and Bennett situation now, they are all over it whilst they have had 3 players of their own caught drink driving on 3 separate occasions. Because no cars were wrapped around lampposts somehow their situations were different and the players didn’t deserve to be sacked where ours does and the FA should step in and remove their licence to play! As I just said to Scott, think there’s a balance to be had between us and going full on Leeds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The juventus thing I'm too young to remember but I never want them to win, so there is bitterness there. The cup semi? Oh well, it could have been and I was really sad but in the end, it was just a lost football match. The thing that still gets me is Tommy Docherty. Dismantling a great but diminishing side instead of renewing it with 2 or 3 new signings. And then preparing us for Division 2 by getting in a whole lot of dreck. The eighties I blame on Tommy Docherty. By this I mean not just the state of DCFC but ducking everything. Thatcher, the Falklands war, unemployment, Duran Duran, everything. Tommy ducking Docherty.

Mostyn6 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Can I add Rory Delap’s throw ins? we at Derby NEVER benefited once positively from a Delap long throw, in fact, I seem to recall flidding out at every game cos he couldn’t even find a team mate with a throw, let alone create a problem for the opposition! We could’ve had a team full of 8ft tall basketball players and it would’ve made no difference to how poo his throws were for us.... couple of seasons later, at Stoke, they’re known as a dangerous weapon!
