That loss to Sheffield Wednesday at Villa Park was the most disappointed I'd felt as a Chelsea fan. We looked a million dollars in that Inter Milan strip but we were dire on the day. Ossie blamed the heavy pitch but I reckon we thought we'd already won the match, before it even started! Then an ex Blue, Jim McCalliog gets their second goal, bang on the final whistle, to rub salt in the wounds. Crestfallen I was.

It’s different now we’ve won everything in sight, but in years gone by getting knocked out the Cup was gutting.

Spurs 82, Derby 83, Man U at Villa Park 96....

Add Orient in 1978, Crystal Palace in 1976 !

Still shudder at these two, all these years on...

Yeah went to the Orient one. Two years later for me was bad being at the Wigan game when they were Fourth Division and losing 1-0!

What year was the Orient game when at half time, loads of mostly black groundstaff raked the pitch at half time?

Pretty un PC looking back, but the song went up “ They’re planting coconuts, they’re planting coconuts..”

In 91 against Liverpool at home I was in the Shed behind a couple and one sounded a right cockney.

He didn't stop his banter all match and was insulting Liverpool in every possible way. It was Barnes and Bananas and Beardsley and Esmeralda are connections I remember.

He was certainly offensive to many of the general public yet the way he expressed it was bloody funny.

A great goal. My seat is in the middle of the MHU and I had a great view of Eidur's goal.

Are you still there now? Mine is just to the right of the goal.

Eider had balance and bundles of skill. A bit more pace and he would have been at the top of the tree.

I am. My seat is also to the right of the goal if looking at the pitch so probably sit not far from you.
