Thought it was only us rags that believed football was created with the advent of the premier league??
If you bother to read the thread you'll see 1903, 1921, 1977 mentioned, despite the thread title talking about "Premier League finish".JM Mcr said:Thought it was only us rags that believed football was created with the advent of the premier league??

JM Mcr said:I did read the whole thread n apologise for my sarcy comment. However I do actually think that the title of the thread does a dis-service to your season. Your owners/manager/team have guaranteed you your best league finish in 35 years - why demean their achievement (intentionally or otherwise) by using the premier league as a barometer. It annoys me no end ti constantly hear talk (from both media and fans) of records that only relate to the last 20 years of top flight football. No offence intended..

I'm guessing it was 05/06 when Fowler missed the penalty against Boro, and 07/08 when they beat us 8-1. If you were to tell me then that in 11/12 we were fighting for the title on the last day of the season, I'd tell you to politely fuck off. If you were to tell me that wasn't progress, I'd tell you to swiftly fuck off.
