I found a video a few weeks ago from a game v Newcastle around 1980. It took me back to when I was at the game.

I'd been to the same fixture the previous season that we'd won 4-0. I remember being stood on the terrace thinking "4-0, we'll never do that today"!

We went on to win 6-0 with Colin Lee scoring 5! I forget how many great memories our great club has given me!

Brum, I think you will find the 4-0 came after the 6, I remember because I got thrown out of the 6 nil win after the first goal. I took my little brother to the 4-0 game, for some strange reason he supports the Magpies.

Brummie - Do you remember a game that was never caught on any DVD or Match of the Day etc. that all Chelsea supporters who didn't see missed out on big time?

The game was the second division one against Newcastle when Keegan was playing, when once again we won 4-0. I can't remember any of the goals but one thing I have never forgotten and would love to see again if it were possible was the run by Pat Nevin where he beat about 8 or 9 Newcastle players and crossed it for Dixon, who didn't quite get on the end of it. If that had been a goal it would have been one of the best goals ever seen. Unfortunately no camera has ever caught it

Were any of you there and do you remember it? It was quite simply unbelievable.

It was definetly the previous season JFDI - I remember thinking we wouldn't be able to repeat it two years running!

Just checked JFDI, both games fell in 1980, but we beat them 4-0 again in 83. We used to hand them some tonkings out in them days!

That must have been the 4-0 in 83 then 69! I was there but I can't remember any of the goals!

The one I never seem to forget was Flashers against Liverpool in the 70s when we beat em 4-2 & 3-1 at the Bridge in under a month!

You must remember Nevin's run Brum. The whole ground was buzzing about it when we came out at the end. No-one talked about the goals and to this day I can't remember any of them but that has stayed with me to this day.

Perhaps I'd had one too many in The White Hart

Sorry mate, we sure did, I forgot about the first 4-0, I may even have missed that one. I was still at school and using my paper round money then

I've got the video of it etched in my brain and would love to show it to you all, but I can't


Nevin even remembers it. That's how good it was. I lost count of how many he beat including Keegan, but some of them were beaten more than once.

man utd fans have had it bad on so close but so far. lost 2 premier league titles when in the lead with a few games left. Even then the game against blackburn and everton hurt doubly. Its maybe destiny.

Losing champions league finals in 2009 and 2011 when beating pretty much everyone on the way to these finals is hard to take really. Being the stand out team for 5 years and winning only 1 champions league is frustrating.

If saf had played the younger players like saf did in our last 2 preseason meetings who knows we could have another 2 cl medals. Even the bayern game in 2010 when it was an easy final to look forward to or this year all we had to do was draw against basel and we would have played only real madrid in semi and chelsea in the final.

I am telling you this know I think man utd and barcelona will play in the champions league final this year. If we play giggs and evra we lose. If we play buttner and cleverly or even powell or fletcher or even anderson instead of these players we win.

I know its only preseason friendlys but barca put out strong teams and man utd create bucket load of chances each game and restrict barca to not many shots. I just hope our consistency will be rewarded with another champions league crown.

Bayern munich went to 2 finals they were favourites in and they lost while man utd went in 2 finals were they weren't really favourites and lost with no real options in midfield. I suppose bayern must feel bad as they had 2 golden opportunities to win the cl and they bottled it.

Whats more funny is bayern munich especially against chelsea had so many chances to win it and chelsea only chance goes in from there first corner. It defies belief especially as bayern scored a late goal.
