Did Aberdeen not win a cup in Gothenburg ?
Mrs P were Liverpool allowed in it? If they were and they accepted it ....Well shows you how utterly shameless they are..
Ps: who won the rancid thing?
Aye. Was there too. 1983 Cup Winners Cup against Real Madrid. Weird to say for someone Scottish, but I’d never seen rain like it. Honestly think that might have made a difference to the result.
its maybe wrong but I read somewhere that, that was the only final Real Madrid have lost in european competition before or since…?
Sounds plausible, but no idea. Think it was the only trophy they didn’t win that year, but won five others?
I don't think so. The only other team that I can remember us playing was Southampton. No idea who won it, I lose interest in any cup competition as soon as we get knocked out!
As good as my original one
Red scouse beat blue scouse in the final. Was us, those two, Man Utd, Southampton and Norwich. Basically the teams who would have been in Europe if the red scouse plague hadn’t been such scum.
Thanks, I went to all of them, forgot that Liverpool were allowed to take part - disgraceful decision.
Wait so they actually won the inaugural 'O.M.O.R cup? (our murderous rampage overseas replacement) That seems typically bullshit and somehow just like them.
Love this. The attendances are hilarious. 11k at Villa. Think the Chelsea crowd is overstated too. Around then I’m sure they went below 10k.
Is the weird tournament what the ZDS Cup was called back then?

The OP led me to doing a bit of research on the mighty Chavs.
In the seasons both before and after the start of the Premier League, Chelsea’s average attendance was 18,700. That average was only maintained due to very large away supports for matches involving the likes of Liverpool, United, Arse and Spurs.
Their first season in the PL saw attendances dipping to 13-14k on a number of occasions. In their last season before the PL, they even had attendances as low as 7k for a match against Southampton and 10k against Coventry.
In the decade before the star of the PL, Chelsea had numerous matches where less than 10k were watching, including an infamous low of 6,000 against Leyton Orient.
Plastic wankers.

No, it wasn’t the Zenith, or anything else, except a bit of a disaster.
Nice article here about it - The Forgotten Story of ... the English Super Cup | Jacob Steinberg
Apparently, our crowds weren’t up to much for this tournament. 7500 turning up to watch our home leg semi final against Everton!
Vaguely as a long looooong time ago re the European ban but Norwich won erm…….Milk Cup ???? beat Sunderland in the final and Norwich had a sulk cos they wouldn’t get to play in Europe! But can’t remember Milk, League, Haribo , whatever fecking cup it was called got you into europe?
I think it was around this time the Anglo Italian cup was also held?? From memory a chance for lower league clubs to play their counterparts from the Italian leagues
Attendances were that low at the time. I can remember going to games in a Saturday where we only had an about 25,000. The introduction of live football games on TV other than the FA cup final awakened the public to football and attendances started to rise.A score sheet from March 1986 midweek so attendances may be affected …
It was much less than that in the late 70s ..we'd get gates off 19 .000 at home on a saturday
