The Elusive 8th Goal

[TheOne2Smooth]

yeah where are Loughborough now ?

I really wanted to get eight and for Theo to get his hatrick but still do 7-0 brilliant result on the nite.

[highburyJD]

just rewatching the 7-0
commentator wrongly says austria vienna 6-1 was cupwinnerscup
was actually a champions league qualifier
first ever season of champions league I think
we got caned in ET by benfica
Isiais (spellng?) their brasilian got2 and sergei yuran scored
think pates scored for us....
can't remember

anyway - that was a CL qualifier
smudger an ENGLISH centre forward scored 4
yet we hardly got a murmur in the press
it was page after page about dean saunders 4goals for liverpool - presumably in the uefa cup

I remember being really pissed off
that absolutely never happens now
we play well you can guarantee there will be tons and tons of coverage

national profilewise (let alone internationally) we where way behind liverpool and manure

This is one of the things that really pisses me off.

England are shit and Arsenal gets the blame because we don't have a team full of English players.

When we won the league in 1991, our team consisted of 10 English players and Anders Limpar.

The 1994 Cup-Winners Cup winning team started with 10 English players and Steven Morrow.

Two teams full of English players that played as a unit.

BUT England failed to qualify for the 1992 European Championships and the 1994 World Cup. Who the fuck's fault was that?

If anyone ever gives you grief about England being shit because of Arsenal, tell them this and shut them up.

goonerak's right
we provided a back four five
lukic/seaman
dixon adams bould/keown winterburn
than where nigh on unbreachable for more than a decade
and where never picked together for the country
