10 years of ADUG

[gkmcfc]

Where did that time go?

Since the takeover in August 2008 we’ve seen the club transformed on and off the pitch and built up to one of the most powerful clubs in Europe.

Wondered if the club plan to mark it with any kind of celebration? Lots of highs and one or two lows.

Biggest highlight has to be winning the league and lowest point probably losing the 2013 FA cup final.

Always disappointed the wife for similar reasons ;)

Lowest point was the 0-3 Cup defeat at home to Forest under Hughes.

Don't think we'd celebrate the takeover to be honest (officially). More likely to wait until 2021/2022 and do something for the cup and league wins.

Was travelling across the country and missed that match totally, asked the missus the score about 7pm and she just said "don't ask" :)

Does anyone else think we’ve slightly underachieved in 10 years?

Prem x2
FA Cup x1
League Cup x2
Charity shield x1

Barring no fuck ups within the next few months, we should have one more league title to add to that and possibly a league cup. Only reaching one Champions League semi final is a bit poor too. Hopefully the wait for Pep will pay off in the next few seasons and that trophy count rises.

I think it's a pretty solid return. Chelsea got 1 more title in the first decade under Abramovich from a far better starting position, 2 more FA cups, the CL and 1 less League Cup. That's not including anything we win this season. They were also in disarray at the end of that decade despite a CL win papering over the cracks.

Wigan final horrific

I think Wayne Bridge had just been signed and was presented on the pitch that day. So not a great day all round really.
