My abiding memory of that season was Stan Stauntons cracking goal up at Old Trafford on the live Sunday game. Outside of the left boot, arrowhead into the top corner.Didn’t we also do the double over Liverpool that year, as well as bear Man U atour place, draw at theirs? But threw in a few freak results too (spanked at Cov for instance).Happy days though. Joyfull football.
I watched that Blackburn game on TV screens set up on the pitch in front of the Witton Lane.I'd forgot Sid was playing for them.
I remember going up to Blackburn in April I think and seeing us lose 3-0 - the same night as Manure won at Crystal Palace. Effectively our title race all but ended that night. An awful feeling.
I am trying to remember if there was a point when I was 100% convinced we would win the league. Possibly when we won at Anfield in the January. But I don't remember ever thinking it was ours, whereas in 1990 I was totally convinced we would be champions as we left White Hart Lane on the night of our 2-0 win.
5-1 Vs Middlesbrough. I honestly thought we'd win it after that performance.

I honestly thought we'd win it after that performance.A good day, especially as our bunch of mates on the Holte had a Boro supporter as our guest at the game and in the pub afterwards. I sort of get your point as it was a good performance and comprehensive win but it isn't a game like that where you judge your team's credentials. White Hart Lane in 1990 ( Spurs finished third behind Liverpool and us that year) and Anfield in 1993 are the kind of games where you evaluate your chances.
Both times in that era we were responsible for losing the titles as opposed to anyone winning them if that makes sense. Wimbledon at home in GT’s era. Just what happened there.
Too soon 😡
