The Oxford night was on a par with the Luton night a decade earlier when somehow or other we contrived to lose the Title which was still in our own hands with four games to go :rant:


It is really strange that Devon Loch like collapse in the spring of '75 is not more widely discussed.

We finished fourth, three points behind the winners, Derby County.

Two points for a win in those days....we took three points from the last flippin' four games, the first being that awful night at that awful ground :(

But that wasn't the worst of it.

The real reason we did not win the league that year?

Carlisle rotten United.....in the one season during their wretched history they were in the top flight they did the double over us.

And were relegated :mad:

How Everton is that....

@Dario Terracotta @Joey66 and Khal, we gotta stop torturing ourselves over those (and other) lost opportunities, and pray that FM, RK and SW can steer the good ship Everton out of the doldrums and back into the fast lane ;)

Yes....that was the penultimate game.

And it was a wide open title race that season, about six or seven teams involved including Ipswich, Stoke and Boro as well as EFC, the RS and Derby.

They all staggered over the line.

In fact Derby County had finished their fixtures and had gone off on holiday and had to come back for a victory parade lol

Ipswich were expected to win their last game and their goal average, as it was back then, was vastly superior to that of Derby.

Was that the season that Leeds lost at WBA to an obvious offside goal, or drew, anyrate, and Derby won by 0.345% goal difference?

Must be.
