SPURS

fantastic strike but you could see West Ham getting better and better in the second half. Awful from Spurs though. Stupid free kick given away by Sissiko, a ridiculous own goal and then that fantastic strike. Give cheap and unnecessary free kicks against a team good in the air and you could get punished. Spurs did twice.

Missed this game. Anyone care to give it me in a nutshell?
Spurs 3 up after 16 minutes, completely cruising. Bale comes on for Spurs after 72 minutes, then the Spammers score 82nd, 85th and 94th minutes to draw 3-3
 
TBH, West Ham were the better team throughout. Spurs were incredible on the goals but overall, the Hammers deserved a point. Great game
 
Must be the equivalent of the AVFTT community derby this one (smiley)
 
Was it Wrexham and Gillingham at home where we threw away a 3-0 lead to end up drawing both games 3-3 back in the late 80's and early 90's?
I don't remember those but I do remember being 3 - 0 down away at Wrexham and us winning it 3 - 4. Cracking game... think Ellis got a hat trick
 
Just checked.

Gillingham was 20th February 1988
Wrexham was 15th October 1996, we scored 20, 22 & 30, they scored 54, 55 & 57.

Maybe that was why I was so elated we beat wrexham that day (thinking it stuck in my head they almost did the same to us the previous season). Checked the game I recalled and I think it was 2nd september 97. That makes me feel old! Can't for the life of me find the score sheet though... just the result.

In my head (so maybe wrong) but I don't think Ellis started the game either... any of you wiser (and more mentally astute folks) care to fill in the blanks for me! 😀

Sure Mark Bonner scored in that game aswell

The 4 3 win was straight after Diana died. As she was Princess of Wales they made a big deal of it , with the Bishop of Wrexham on the pitch before kick off.
