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
Leeds fans generally hate Rio Ferdinand because of his move to mancscum....
However, after all of his trophy winning exploits at Old Toilet, he says his best and most enjoyable time in football was with us.... fair play to him! 👍⚽🙌
We should be hating our club for bleeding us dry and showing completely the wrong "ambition" instead of players who have no real allegiance and don't support us....we needed the money....
Same old story with Alan Smith.... sort of.
If our club hadn't been so badly run by various owners over the years we wouldn't have to sell to the likes of Mancscum....
Just reading about our plane crash in 1998 and can't believe how serious it was and how it's hardly talked about....
We'd lost to West ham and got to Stansted for the flight back to Bradford....
Can't believe we didn't just get the luxury coach and wouldn't have been much difference in time anyway....we didn't have a game for another 4 and a half days anyway.
I never realised the flight actually took off and was over 250ft in the air for 27secs before the captain took it down and crash landed on the grass with it's nose down just before running out of land by the perimeter fence by the motorway! The engine had completely caught on fire....
Bryn Law was the only journalist on the flight and explained it perfectly....it was the time we had some very good players in the squad and finished within the top 5 for 5 seasons in a row
I can't believe it's hardly ever mentioned and how lucky we were to escape uninjured....
Just seen that Rodon and Bogle are one booking away from a suspension....unless they can go the next 10 games without a card!
Bogle will be quite seamlessly replaced by Byram but with Ampadu and Wober out, Rodon will have to be replaced by Debayo or maybe Schmidt....not ideal but I suppose we'll then know if they're up to it.
I suppose at least they will be available for our next game v Blunts and Hamer....
Plymouth winning, oh Sunderland equalise 1 min later
Agent Joffy doing his job and Dull 2 oop v Blunts with 10mins to go! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Just the small matter of Plymouth winning at Blunderland now ....
Joffy scored a screamer for Hull yesterday v QPR

Sometimes have to verify....sometimes have to get approved. This has taken ages to write and post astill cnt go onto line below for new paragraph

Guilavogui has come out with some unbelievable comments and the guy doesn't even play!
He says he loves the whole club, teammates, fans and behind the scenes staff
It's certainly side before self with him....get him another contract for next season even if only on the coaching team.
I wish we'd have had him when he was playing for France a few years ago..
Fair play to Guilavogui and he really gets our club ....🙌❤️

I was in Luton this afternoon near the airport and saw half a dozen Sunderland players out on a walk
Just seen that Rodon and Bogle are one booking away from a suspension....unless they can go the next 10 games without a card!

Read Coops move to Hull has broken down. Maybe its best for Liam to come back to us?
Being Welsh is contagious,Karl Darlow declares for Wales & is in their squad for September internationals
Citeh told Ipswich they got to cover Kalvin 150k pw wage! 🤣
How the fk will they be able to do that and would only cause ructions in changing room with the next best paid player on circa 30k(?)
And if they can afford that it just shows the 69ers how badly we need to be in the Prem!
