Is it fixed ?

footballsite - some of the record-breaking, unusual and bizarre football stories.

Some fixtures are jinxed. The Division 1 match between Spurs and eventual champions Everton at White Hart Lane in 1969/70 was one of them. The match was originally scheduled for Saturday 29th November 1969 but a heavy fall of snow just before kick off time forced a postponement. The re-scheduled date was Wednesday 17th December and the match started but only lasted 30 minutes before being abandoned when a fault at a sub-station caused floodlight failure. Wednesday 7th January 1970 was the next date pencilled in for the fixture but that one didn't happen either when Spurs had to play an FA Cup replay that evening. The match was finally played on Wednesday 11th March and after a near three month wait and three different programmes being printed Spurs lost one-nil! Ironically Spurs' next match was three days later and was the return fixture against Everton at Goodison. That went ahead at the first attempt and Spurs lost that one as well, 3-2.
Its not illness but a Spurs moment....Maybe God had it in for us?

...about being 16-where has the time gone?

Where indeed?

Some events stick in the memory but this remains!

Poor Sir Alf!

1990, Paul Gascoigne booking in Semi for an innocuous tackle. Best player in tournament would have missed out in the final. It all seems so convenient at times.
I feel England are disliked more than Tottenham or am I just being paranoid and every club or country has a bad day.

I don't think that you are being paranoid.

I forgot about that one!

Go further back to the European Championship of 1968 when Alan Mullery was sent off against Yugoslavia for retaliation after receiving a horrendous challenge.
We were favourites for that tournament.

Bloody foreigners!

bollocks. England cheated their way to a win in 1966.
The bought refs allowed Pele to be hacked to fuck and the italians to get done by Korea
then the greasy corrupt cunt in the final allowed a goal when the ball hadn't crossed the line and a goal to be scored when horrible english hooligans had spilled onto the pitch. It was only the hard, fair work of the Germans in the face of such adversity that took the game to extra time.
4 years later and despite allowing the thief bobby moore to play, england moaned when the germans knocked them out fair and square, refusing to acknowledge that they'd lost to a better side and instead blamed it on the only player in their team with a slightly foreign name. Ealrier they got hammered 1-0 by Brazil - but instead of praising the genius in that brazil side all that any england fan, or the english media go on about is a tackle by the light-fingered bobby moore.
I could go on if anyone is interested...

Blimey... German much?

Though from your username... I'm guessing shades of Brazilian?
