We had calamity Claude too, each time he played I thought let's just call it 3-0 and we'll go home now
That was a shocking summer, Billy had spent in January turning a team in red hot form into one that stumbled over the line and should never have won that game at Wembley.
Then we just couldnt attract players, i think it was obvious we were so badly prepared for the PL, i recall the odds on us not winning a game were really quite low.
I think we got close to a full year with no win.
We did, however, take 4 points off the Toon and it should have been all 6.
Lost 2-1 at home to Chelsea. 1 nil up. One of ours got fouled around the centre circle. Surprise, surprise, it wasn't given. Their attack developed and a few seconds later it's in the back of the net. 1-1. Wash, rinse, repeat for their 2nd...... Twas ever thus ;)
We never spent any proper money because we were too busy reducing the clubs 55m debt
