BrandOnion is right though - we were...

...I had every confidence we'd bounce back as my brother and a few others besides laughed their socks off at the result...

And low and behold we did...

The same can't be said right now but I is hoping...

Why do they keep harping on about Gunny losing 7-1 against Blackburn hundreds of years (NCFC) - BSE Canary, Aug 10, 13:11:41
- Doesn't make it acceptable (NCFC) - BB_King, Aug 10, 13:17:19
  - we we're doing very well that season already though (n/m) (NCFC) - samcd84, Aug 10, 13:27:34
  - Careful, I said that yesterday and got a bollocking... (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 10, 13:19:01
    - No problem (NCFC) - BB_King, Aug 10, 13:26:24
      - No, me neither. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 10, 14:01:37
        
        Think you've missed the point (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 10, 14:13:35
        
        What point? (n/m) (NCFC) - BB_King, Aug 10, 14:14:52
        
        Of course you can have opinion (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 10, 14:21:23
        
        Actually, you could turn it around and say (NCFC) - BB_King, Aug 10, 14:24:33
- So that we can get into the history books by beating Bayern Millwall next season. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 10, 13:15:53
- Because it is a coincidental quirk? Where have they made it an excuse for Saturday? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 10, 13:14:20
- Indeed pointless (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 10, 13:13:25
  - we stunk in that game (& the ones at Liverpool & Spurs that year) but we were a good team (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:19:09
    - My brother went to that game (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 10, 13:26:11
      - And virtually everything Blackburn hit went in (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 10, 13:30:33
        
        Same happened on Saturday. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Aug 10, 13:51:29
        
        I remember two early second half (NCFC) - duke of york, Aug 10, 14:00:19
        
        I think the more dubious stats are the 16 or so on and off they've given us! (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 14:01:49
        
        We had nearly twice as many shots as them? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 10, 14:03:28
        
        No no no. They had 9 on and a bunch off. According to Pinkun they were the same actually (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 14:05:18
        
        So it should have been a draw. I feel much better now. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 10, 14:06:46
    - Yeah, but first game that season we won at Highbury!!! (n/m) (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 13:23:41
      - well, maybe this team will win at Leeds later in the season (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:27:39
        
        You have to agree, though, that in terms of precedents for the season... (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 13:31:57
        
        well obviously (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:40:03
        
        Fair - I was at many of those games in 92/93... (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 13:46:16
        
        I don't think Mr Carra is saying that he expects a turnaround. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Aug 10, 13:55:28
        
        I honestly think that's quite a dangerous thing to say (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 10, 13:59:50
        
        doesn't need to be a whole season (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 14:02:48
        
        Has a horrible "famous last words" ring to it, doesn't it??!! (n/m) (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 14:02:07
        
        I didn't say I thought they WOULD turn out to be a good team (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:53:51
      - In my top 5 great games that one... (NCFC) - Fierce Panda, Aug 10, 13:26:42
        
        It was genius - nobody saw it coming. Rather like Saturday in a way... (n/m) (NCFC) - Greeny, Aug 10, 13:29:12
  - Interesting point of view! We're allowed to get battered 7-1 sometimes? (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 13:14:32
    - BrandOnion is right though - we were... (NCFC) - Fierce Panda, Aug 10, 13:18:21
      - We were not that bad that day. Everything they hit went in. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 10, 13:27:32
        
        Whichever way you look at it Steve - in pure footy terms letting in 7 is pretty poor... (NCFC) - Fierce Panda, Aug 10, 13:29:37
        
        yeah, if that'd been the case on Saturday no-one would have been on here complaining! (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 13:32:35
    - No but we were top of the premier league at the time (NCFC) - earlydoors, Aug 10, 13:16:59
      - You should also remember a very specifc fact that I think the media are... (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 13:19:57
        
        Yes, I agree. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 10, 13:20:47
      - I didn't go to either, but can confirm they were completely different games. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 10, 13:18:28
    - Only if the day ended in a 'Y' (n/m) (NCFC) - Klobo04, Aug 10, 13:16:37
- Because conincidental statistics make for great news. (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 10, 13:12:49
