79 - Future Utd player Stapleton wins the Cup for Arsenal. First match I remember watching and defeat really hurting. The FA Cup Final was a big deal back then
93...I met Mrs RCL...the first thing she ever said to me was...you ain't a gooner are you? (She's a Wednesday fan and they'd just lost two cup finals to them).
95/96 - The realisation that we're a mid-table team with no ambition starts to set in. We sell Klinsmann, Popescu and Barmby... ...and bring in Chris Armstrong, Ruel Fox and Andy Sinton. Sugar owns and Gerry Francis is manager. ****ing desperate.
