Just watched a truly awful Manchester derby, the only highlight was noticing how many players have had their hair styled by Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons!🤣
Was just with my Leeds mate and got a question for you!?
He seems to think the Blunts v Leeds game when we won the title in 1991/2 was on TV but on a time delay?
He went to the game but I couldn't get tickets and remember having to listen to it on the radio only. Surely if it was on a time delay I'd have made sure I didn't know the score and watched on TV as if 'live'?
I seem to remember that because the Liverpool v Mancscum game was being televised later in the day that they couldn't show both matches?
I've googled, but to no avail, so can anyone remember and please tell me who's more stupid for bragging rights....
I think Blunts v Leeds was the early (lunchtime) kickoff and Liverpool v Man Utd was the afternoon slot. I definitely remember watching the moment Liverpool got the second on TV and knowing we were champs - I am not sure if the Leeds game was on TV though - I have a sneaky feeling it was a radio job. It may well have been highlights shown later to be honest.
If my memory serves me correctly, the Leeds players had showered, changed, left the ground and were all on a sofa watching the Liverpool v Man Utd game when the title was sealed - they were being filmed. Wilko famously said he was having dinner with his family and didn't even watch the scummers game.
Thanks Soopa and concur to all that and remember watching the 2nd game and they kept cutting to Chapman, Cantona McAllister and Batty (? may be wrong?) on the sofa at Chapman's house....
I think Eric missed the 2nd half as he was upstairs helping Lesley Ash (ahem) tidy the bedroom....
I'm sure our lunchtime KO wasn't televised live though if anyone can help with this?
As I recall, the whole game was televised but don't think it can have been live because they showed the Scum game (possibly highlights?) immediately after - and they accidentally briefly showed the final league table (ie, after Liverpool had won) beforehand.
Distinctly remember an embarrassed look on the face of the presenter - Elton Welsby, I think.
Very saddened by the death of The Pirate (Johnny Walker). was a fantastic DJ and had no issues with calling rubbish exactly what it was. Always listened to his programmes in the 70's, mid morning (lunch time) and later during drive time. One of the best. RIP

FFS Djed Spence is looking like a wifebeater for Spurs....why couldn't he play like this for us!?
He's unbelievable going forward, creating numerous chances and VERY good defensively....
He didn't get enough chances for us and I suppose this is only against Mancscum....
