@FootballInT80s I was there. Horrendous day. That pitch though 🫠

40 years ago today: Full league programme on Easter Monday ✅ QPR 6 Chelsea 0 In the space of a weekend Chelsea had shipped 10 goals in 2 games. David Speedie is sent off in this West London derby too.

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

Everything rotten in Britain stems from this period. Everything. Landlord rents. Shit in the rivers. Zero work hours. No British industry. Gas, electric bills through the roof, No affordable housing. All of it.

@BygoneChelsea The wing wizard 💙

Shot Of The Day Pat Nevin shoots for goal after a jinking run, but this time he’s out of luck when Chelsea face Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on 27th April 1985. He later scores a 74th minute equaliser for Chelsea in a 1-1 draw.

@FootballInT80s I was there when we were shit…

40 years ago today: West Ham went to Stamford Bridge and came away with a 4-0 win.

Eddie Marsan: "I don't want Reform anywhere near govt... as I grew up in the east end when we had the NF & BNP walking down Bethnal Green road... terrorising our Black & Asian neighbours... & it's a load of old crap." #bbclaurak: & you think that's where we are? EM: 100%

@MANCHESTERMUS10 Supported them twice, great band and lovely people

@MissDLowe Great book, great man.

Arrowe park hospital are having a book sale & I’ve just picked up this little beauty for £2!! Signed by Pat too! There are still 5 or 6 copies left if any other Tranmere/Everton/Chelsea fans in the local area want a copy

@DavidSpeedie10 @wembleystadium Need you now, Speedo!

Hattrick in a cup final at @wembleystadium…completed it mate!

@eddiemacbawa @ChelseaFC @cfc_heritage @gate17marco @ChelseaKelv @onlyapound @SmiffyEastStand @richschaller54 Yep, what a day! It felt like a new dawn, even though not the greatest trophy we’ve won. How we could do with the drive and desire of a Speedie in this present team!

Happy Full Members Cup day today. 40th anniversary today of @ChelseaFC 5-4 win over Man City. Probably a few folk on here who were there and was their first ever Wembley Chelsea visit. @cfc_heritage

I’ve seen a hand, I’ve seen a vision, it was reaching through the clouds to risk a dream… Scott 4, seven years after he left us, still breathtaking half a century on. #scottwalker #scott4 @ScotsPostPunk

HAPPY MONDAYS | Do It Better [Live at Dingwalls 1988] #HappyMondays

“We don’t like nazis” #Germany - FC St. Pauli has unveiled a new kit to raise awareness against the rise of the far right; it will be worn in tomorrow’s match against Freiburg.

@IgnorelandRadio Great album that, saw them at the art college basement, Brighton 80s. Class.

@XMartinsMusicX Bummed all day long. Genius.

As it’s Monday… bummed or Pills ‘n’ Thrills? 🤔

@SalvadorDafti Their best song, bar none.

Happy Mondays - Tart Tart Ryder’s veiled, mischievous commentary on the scenes behind their scene. Loose-limbed, streetwise, and moody as hell; the sound of a revolution just beginning to stir. 1987.

@footballmemorys Things of absolute beauty

@richschaller54 Best thing I’ve ever seen by anyone at the Bridge 💥

"That run!" Never forgotten to those of us who were there. Never televised so we could be accused of exaggerating in blue tinted specs, but the truth is, we didn't....

@tim_rolls @PatNevin @cfc_heritage I remember the ‘Nevin Keegan’ headline. What an insult to our wing wizard! That run is the best thing I’ve ever seen live at a game. And his humility when telling the story of why he did it on his recent book tour, spoke volumes about the man 💙

For many supporters of my generation, their favourite game against tomorrow s opponents Newcastle United is the November 1983 encounter, when @PatNevin gave a virtuoso display in an emphatic 4-0 victory, as described here in a piece for @cfc_heritage chelseaheritagepartnership.com/post/nevin-mak…
