even as a utd fan love watching your channel DW, this game i was at and there is so much about this, all the players on the picture, wanted to play for their respective club, crowd actually cheering and chanting through the game and this vid with no commentary and most importantly no stupid hi techno funk music playing is fantastic, what a pity they don't give us the option to mute commentary but keep the crowd sound. keep up the good work DW
I well recall a massive cheer at Goodison when the score from this game was read out just after we'd dispatched Newcastle. United's late goal and us winning proved to be a pivotal day in Everton eventually winning the title that year.
there was a huge cheer in the Liverpool end at this game in the late second half and we incorrectly thought Newcastle had scored and we started singing we were gonna win the league
Similarities to the current Utd side- raising their game to beat their much better neighbours city. Just like the 80s Liverpool miles ahead but couldn’t beat Utd , weird
First time I went to Man Utd Liverpool and late goals were unusual in those days as opposed to now when plenty are scored post the 85th minute. I recall standing on the Stretford End for an hour before kick off baiting the Liverpool fans and for around 20 minutes afterwards. Great day!
My second United game and I can remember everything about the day apart from the goal as I was behind some very tall guy squeezing past on his way out of United road.
This must have been taken off our club video only the 2nd one we did. I remember the first one for the 85/86 season, buying it at the club shop and the bloody music at the start!!
Athelstan Edwardson yeah it was strange that. It happened a lot in the 80’s. I would have rather it been us winning all the trophies and them beating us though!!!!! 😂😂
Athelstan Edwardson I bet they were!! I would have rather we had our success in the 70’s and 80’s when football was better. What an atmosphere there would have been at Old Trafford!!
Athelstan Edwardson I always felt that the 92/93 and 93/94 seasons were the last ones that still felt like proper football. Mainly because the last of the terraces didn’t go until the end of the 93/94 season.
From the Times report "United, led by the courageous if over-zealous Whiteside, enjoyed a higher percentage of the early possession"....in other words "playing for any other team - Whiteside would be sent off every week".....
It's a cracking goal as well. To be fair to him, he did three other decent things: his overhead kick v Wednesday in Oct 1986; his twenty yarder v Cov City three weeks after that; and his great pass that put Strachan through for his equaliser at Anfield the year after this match. To think we could have had Lineker instead...
I agree generally but the atmosphere at this game was dire at times. It was a weird game as Man Utd had nothing to play for and we were hanging onto a title ambition by a flimsy thread. I still am baffled by our tactics to this day. I don't know if we actually played for a draw or hoped to contain Man U and then try and sneak a goal almost like a European away game. It almost worked I suppose if Walsh scored, but the overall lack of drive amongst Liverpool (supposedly going for a title) in this game saw some dogs abuse amongst our support. I reckon this was the game Kenny realized he needed a new forward line. I always thought Walshy was hard done by. He did not play great here but he looked the one player who had a bit about him. He was not any worse than Whelan, Johnston or Rush who were awful. Walshy like Beardsley I think was harshly treated by Kenny who probably had unreasonable expectations for the number 7 shirt. The full game is elsewhere on YT.
Great upload. Don't know how Walsh missed that chance second half! Liverpool were absolutely and very strangely (by their standards) rubbish away from home that year, Everton won the league quite comfortably in the end.
The poor sensitive souls that inhabit twitter are like Bond villains: they can't tolerate any sort of failure. They'd be so busy tweeting their displeasure, they'd forget to actually know anything about football. Got to admit, your poor form at the end of that season amazed me. Dalglish fixed it more than effectively, unfortunately.
The poor form was at least partly due to a long injury list. No Lawrenson, Nicol, Beglin, MacDonald, Molby by this stage, with Grobbelaar out after this game. There may have been other reasons too, but that can't have helped. Ferguson presumably wouldn't have lasted until 1993 with the current social media impatience, so if it prevents a repeat of that era it's not all bad!
:) There's a sobering thought [about Fergie]. Injuries would have knocked you off your stride. Big Ron had used the injuries excuse for us the year before, neglecting to mention he'd signed a pile of shit as replacements. Liverpool's rebound from this season is something I'd sooner forget ;)
I forgot about the handbag to 'Mae' West. Always a red one, I believe? Aye, Big Ron's long leather coat and comb over looked very suave. Him and Charlie Nicholas would have been a great pairing.
As a man utd fan i want to say do some more man utd liverpool games dave I love it. On question do u have a feeling that it's not same what it use to be I think so.
This channel is mostly games from 85/86 - 90/91 and I've uploaded highlights of every Liverpool-Utd game from that period. If I get round to doing other seasons, I'll obviously include any games that are available. Times change, sometimes in good ways and sometimes bad. If you could have the passion of the 80s without the violence and sick celebration of death that would be better than the watered-down atmosphere created by lots of tourists at both clubs who don't have the depth of emotional engagement. The fact that some of the sick songs are still there seems hard to justify.
@Athelstan Edwardson I remember that - mind you, Everton fans would know what they were talking about, having themselves blown the double in 85 (also a treble) and 86.
Just read that the paper was sold to Murdoch in 87 so maybe he decided to cancel, or maybe they only wanted the publicity as a short-term boost for a new paper, or maybe they were outbid by Barclays. So, in answer to your question, no I don't know!
word was that the media in general would never mention their rival 'Today' while covering the league so the newspaper felt they never got the exposure.
Best atmosphere was Jan1st 1989 game against liverpool, 1-0 down came back to win 3-1

The early days of satellite tv, did have an option for crowd noise only

Was at that game, Clarke hat-trick
Gordon Strachan was fukin shyte . His tiny little strides when he ran made me wanna puke .
One lucky bastard that .
there was a huge cheer in the Liverpool end at this game in the late second half and we incorrectly thought Newcastle had scored and we started singing we were gonna win the league
What a finish!

My first trip to Old Trafford. We had a massive support there that day but the team were crap. The Walsh miss still haunts me
First match I went to. Stretford Paddock about 2 quid on the turnstile. 50p programme.
I was at the game mate . £1.70 it was 🤑
Programme was 40p.
@@scherben8870 Yeah your right. Went up following season to 50p.
My first time in Stratford end,crap game until Davenport scored at the death,then it went mental.bloody brilliant!lol
Thanks for this. I recently bought the full 90. Not a great match by any means; but we deserved to win.
Only thing davenport ever did for us!!

I think Brucie might have saved it if he hadn't broken his elbow.
Or Hansen would have just passed back to him, and ended the move.
scherben I don’t want to think about that. We got davenport instead of lineker bloody hell !! It’s all come back to me now!!

First league double under Ferguson
Great upload. Don't know how Walsh missed that chance second half! Liverpool were absolutely and very strangely (by their standards) rubbish away from home that year, Everton won the league quite comfortably in the end.
It was a great save by our talented young keeper; who then got injured for four years a few months later.

@@DaveWallerLFC Absolutely spot on.
Strange that United did the double over Liverpool, in what was one of their poorest seasons of the 80s.
@@smashdalde9713 By Liverpool's 80s standards, I suppose it was: one of only two seasons without a trophy.
@@smashdalde9713 Yes they could have had two more Doubles, 88 and 89.
And 90. Lost in cup semi final before winning the league. An incredible period of domestic dominance.
@Athelstan Edwardson I remember that - mind you, Everton fans would know what they were talking about, having themselves blown the double in 85 (also a treble) and 86.
Always turned up for these games in the 1980s. Record at Anfield too was second to none..unlike now!
When there was a atmosphere at OT
Anyone know who Davenport supported growing up...?
According to this article, he was a Utd fan: www.unitedindonesia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3354
@@DaveWallerLFC Great find - thanks!
Anybody know why today newspaper only sponsored the football league for one season??
Just read that the paper was sold to Murdoch in 87 so maybe he decided to cancel, or maybe they only wanted the publicity as a short-term boost for a new paper, or maybe they were outbid by Barclays. So, in answer to your question, no I don't know!
Dave Waller cheers for looking anyway Dave, I think the bit you said about being outbid by Barclays is probably the reason.
word was that the media in general would never mention their rival 'Today' while covering the league so the newspaper felt they never got the exposure.
@@randyborstol2491 cool, thanks for the info. 👍👍
A poor season by man Uniteds standards but a double over those scoucers made up 4 it!
Scouse busting again brilliant
