it`s funny you should put this thread up as it was just the other day that i was thinking about where we are now compared to over ten years ago and i had taggarts "not in my lifetime" beautiful little one liner in my head and how it must strike a chord with all of us at some level.
with the success on the pitch that we are enjoying at the minute it took me back to all those soul destroying results( like bury at home,york away,spurs at home 93,luton at home,arsenal 5-1 at home and 4-0 down after 20mins to name but a few) that left a horrible feeling in my stomach that we`ll never be like the top teams and that wish that one day we could doing an arsenal or dare i say doing what the glazerites did nearly every year and win a cup.
don`t get me wrong,all these defeats and let downs and relegations has probably made us fans different and unique from anybody else and gave us a backbone and the balls to take shit near enough every other season and we all know it was those twats from stretford who would be the first to rub our
noses in it!!
i guess what i`m trying to say is that we could have never imagined in ten lifetimes that we would in the position we are now and to say to myself "we`re top of the premier league by five points,not top of league one or the championship but the premiership and we`re in the champions league,not the auto windshield or zenith data cup but the european cup and yes we really are in the semi finals of the league cup,not the semi final of the division three play off...."
sometimes i have to pinch myself and think to myself
"we are not we`re not really here..." but we are and we love it,really love it..
