Quote from: sid1964 on May 19, 2023, 09:21:37 AMHow did we not beat Liverpool in that FA Cup game - when we played in our yellow Brazil top??Big Ron was brilliant for us, the football we played when he was Manager was fantastic.He was. It ends how it always ends, and it was the end for him as a manager too, but in three years he rebuit a team that just avoided relegation, won a cup, nearly won the league and gave us some of the best football I've seen at times. Yes he had the money from Platty but you've got to use it well and he didn't fuck about. There was a sense of urgency and ambition that's often been lacking and I feel now with Emery.

Reminds me of the first Sensible Soccer we had, which would have been 1993-94 Season. 2 subs and a GK on the bench!
I've been to Anfield several times; usually to see Villa getting valiantly beaten. The game that sticks out for me was the one we won 3-1 when the Scouse Fraud (Slippy) got sent off for trying to decapitate Boeteng.The one that remains most impressive was the Benteke-Weimann game (when our best player was - I thought - the ill-fated Chris Herd).
