You can throw Everton into that list especially with a back pass involved.

I'm not sure why we need revenge for that game. Yes it turned their season around but it was our fault and also was at the start of our rise to fame (if not fortune) and we did go on to win the same competition ourselves 2 years later.

If we did need any revenge surely it was beating Everton at the end of the '86 season (still my favourite game of all time) to ensure our survival and denying them the title and then more recently dumping them out of the League Cup at Goodison in 1999

I'd forgotten all about that game!

On paper that team looks hopeless - look at the strikers. Wonder what became of young sub Cook? Who the fck was Sear?

How did Bus get the nod ahead of Derek Lilley?

That team was very poor and relied heavily on Beauchamp and Powell for creativity.

I'm probably wrong but didn't we have a lot of injuries which is why Matt Murphy was playing up front?

Sear? Presumably Peter Fear.

I did get a little peeved later on that season when at the end of January the papers were all full of &quotWill PNE be the first team to win at Goodison this season?&quot

Completely ignoring the fact that we already had some 4 months earlier.

On a similar note, I have to say, go Reading! Find myself unable to dislike them as supposed local rivals. Cracking bit of TV viewing and most amusing.

Why not add in Luton for the 1987 semi final?

Again, I'm not sure what needs avenging from that result - we were just shit at Kenilworth Road as I recall. And relied on a dodgy pen for our only goal of the tie. Didn't Saunders miss one after he'd scored one at the Manor too?

Correct. He made the schoolboy error of putting the second penalty in exactly the same place as the first one.
