unkastav Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 In the current spirit of random questions... if you could chalk off one goal scored against us in history which would it be? arsenal cup final last min 93? We mightve done it on pens? duffy at hillsborough? palace last day relegation decider? evertons first in the 66 comeback or Robinson 83 many more Im sure I might opt for Linighans and hope butterfingers wouldve kept a couple of pens out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd just started to put a run together then the scrubbers beat us and knocked us for 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As most on here would say, Carlos should have left after the Huddersfield play off debacle, the rot had set in with the squad and it needed freshening up. United winning at S6 merely highlighted our shortcomings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffieldblue Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Was it? It was a long time ago. Perhaps the smallest man in the history of football scoring a hat-trick of headers scarred me more than i thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then that happened and we haven't recovered from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez_Jenks Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Derby's equaliser in that horrendous 3-3 capitulation in the year we went down from the prem. You never know, as abject as we were, not having the confidence knocked out of us and taking three points could have been the difference between going down and staying up.

sexpistol Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Arsenals winner in the 93 replay. Who knows how the penalties would have gone, but they had Wright off the pitch, and we had put Bart-Williams on near the end, I always assumed for the shoot out. I don’t know what would have hurt more, losing on pens or the way we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have won 1-0 then It doesn’t work like that. If it were 0-0 at the time Hirst scored, would we have been pressing like we were? The first FA cup game was 2 teams trying to cancel each other out.
