Seeing that video after coming back home made the greatest day in the Club's history even sweeter.

For the sake of all those Weds fans I hope they can avoid the drop this season.

"Who's the ****** in the blue?"

"YOU'RE the ******* in the blue!"

One of my favourite moments in a ground when both sets of fans started laughing with each other.

Remember the 3-3 Defoe match? Yes no booze and a disaster, but there was a lighter moment - the battle of the fatties.

'Have you ever seen your dick??'

I still can't understand the over exuberant celebrations by the weds fans in what was essentially a meaningless match to them.
What would they do if they ever got promoted?

Ha ha ! Yes remember that - our fatty was not too far from us - “ Belly’s gonna get yer “

It’s called ‘winding up the oppositions fans’.
It is fondly remembered by us, I expect most Weds’ fans have forgotten about it or would certainly need reminding.
I doubt the majority who didn’t go to the game would not even know about it.

I can recall the we'll never play you again chant during this game

We sang it loud and clear

Goose Bumps.

Particularly as the Watford fans had spent the whole game prematurely glorying in it and rubbing the Weds fans up the wrong way because of it.

Have you followed football very long ?

Depends on your interpretation on very long.

I fondly remember Big Fletch scoring a last minute equaliser against Brentford in 2006 to stop them going up automatically. Who doesn't love a bit of schadenfreude?

There is a wonderful and perverse joy in spoiling someone else's day when it comes to football.

 

[SlowDownDerek]

It should be remembered that the only reason we weren't in pole position going into that final day was Wednesday's fault anyway. They loved messing our promotion/title chances up too as I recall. If you can't win glory... Mess up someone else's glory.

If I remember correctly, their boss Martin Allen kicked the advertising board in frustration and broke his toe!

Quite correct Boris, quite correct, and only the older Leeds fans remember 'that day out'

And the whole row in the East stand where I sat was Brentford, it was wonderful to shut them up.

We did that at Stoke once and he was waiting outside with his mates, not nice, same day that we got back safely to the car to find them all smashed up, apart from ours.

Was that the game where they'd given Brentford a much larger allocation? I think they'd moved the barrier up to include Block 20 (the smaller block on the halfway line) in the away end. I think they had to move St holders to do it.

I sat at the front of Block 19 in those days and the club had even given three rows at the front of that to Brentford concessions so I was surrounded by jubilant away fans. Pissed me off at the time but I remember thinking it was the right thing nearly ten years later when Charlton gave us an extra section.

That’s what I tell my missus .

That's right. At the time we also had the smaller, roofless temporary stand at the South End which we gave to them as well. I also seem to remember a group in the main stand who were giving it some during the game, and who promptly made their excuses and left at 2-2.
