I don’t know if Rory had Gomes shaped pocket but that has to be the ultimate of getting inside somebody’s head

Bojan. Liverpool cup semi Anfield.
Zonz. Newcastle at St James ( before we got a sending off. ) cheating ref bustard.
Both had whole midfield in pocket in my humble opp.

Thought this was gonna be a 'Brown Wings type thread.
Incredibly disappointed.

I remember Abdoulaye Faye (playing for Newcastle United) absolutely bossing our very own Ric in the FA Cup circa 2008?

Given Whittle started the thread: my dad always mentions him man-marking Merson in the first season at the Brit and apparently doing an exceptional job of it. I was too young to notice. And we lost.

Yes, the same game when Tosh McKinlay got sent off for punching someone - Craig Hignett maybe. Remember the Sky commentators talking up Whittle like he was the second coming of Franco Baresi. And yes of course, we lost. |

Gary Neville had the referee in his back pocket vs. Etherington. And he and Ferguson had a good laugh about it when he was subbed It's not forgotten. Sending off all day long. Who was the shit ref? |

Yep. If you ever wanted an example of big club bias that was it. |

Most opposition centre backs versus most of our strikers since relegation

George Berry and Noel Blake on Steve Bull and Andy Mutch Feb 1990. We even thought we would stay up after that result. 😕😕. Even warranted an Oatcake cartoon.

The one that springs to mind is when we played Arsenal in the 90s in the cup and Justin Whittle (of all people) had Ian Wright in his back pocket. What other notable back pocketers have there been? Didn't Wright end up scoring the winner though? Meaning that whatever else went on in the match, he ultimately won his battle? |

I remember playing Lincoln once and the Lincoln left-back had an outstanding match, kept Neville “Tim” Coleman in his pocket for the entire game, apart from 7 individual moments.

I remember feeling really deflated by Wright's goal so assumed it was the winner but it was actually the equaliser. So explains why I felt so deflated despite us not actually losing. It shows the problem with two legged ties in those days, with two shots at it the big teams would usually get it done. Like with Man United a few years earlier when we won the home tie but lost overall because they beat us 2-0 at Old Trafford. Great memories of that match, but it was ultimately pointless. I wonder if we'd have got the job done against Arsenal had the game gone to extra time and possibly penalties instead of going to the second leg at Highbury? There were exceptions to the rule though, including ourselves the previous year when we beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the second leg after only drawing the home leg. Although Chelsea weren't anywhere near as big a scalp as Man United or Arsenal would have been in that era. They were still a mid-table team in those days. |
