On This Day.

[M17TT C]

Another blessing in disguise.

I think so too and like the relegation to League 1, if they didn't happen, we would have never won the PL.

I can almost look back on this fondly knowing what came afterwards.

At the time, I could have been physically sick.

I was so down about football for weeks after that. Think I only snapped out of it when we came back and beat Middlesbrough on the opening day.

I honestly felt worse about this than when we were relegated to league one because I thought we would come straight back up - after this match I thought we'd blown a rare chance at getting into the championship playoffs.

Never mind the title winning season, even the 2013-14 season felt absolutely surreal where we were far and away the best team in the Championship. 100 points! And now we have the opportunity to have what would easily be the second best season we've ever had, whether or not we win the FA Cup. I think that's what makes Leicester City the best club in the world. Without some disappointment you can never enjoy the good times. And which club has been at the extremes of crushing, terminal losses to ecstatic highs to the extent we have?

I remember falling to my knees at my ex girlfriend’s manky little flat in Preston. How times change.

Was that purely football related?

Wahey!

My wife’s first Mother’s Day as a mum. Made her go to brunch by herself and watched it in the room.
She was not sympathetic to my sadness.

If you start telling the story in 2001 my answer is correct

Wimbledon

New Orleans Saints?

 

[mabrah]

I think I was just numb. Dumb founded by what had just unfolded in the bat of an eye.

 

[Graz]

Nah, I still hate that moment.

Although I did use it recently in a training presentation about "Resilience". Both Watford's in that moment and ours, longer term, afterwards! So I guess I can at least watch it now, which I couldn't do for a few years afterwards.

Nuff said. 27 years ago today.

Great image - I had this as my screen saver for a while - and predictably, non-fans thought it was a bit 'sad'!
( What do they know?)

What a day out that was.

 

[SJN-Fox]

I was away with family and ended up watching it on a portable black and white tv in a field in the middle of Derbyshire.

God I loved that game..
