And we will always have the real winners treble and they will always have the fake runners up one.
Mark Goldbridge hated it in his live feed when we won it. He was going on and on about there not being a prize for a ‘best treble’ and to leave it to ourselves to decide which one was the best. He totally dodged the fact we won ours by winning the league, while they had to rely on a change in the qualification rules. He was lost for words and you could see he hated it.
Even former rag players were writing newspaper articles backing them to win the FA Cup Final in our Treble winning year, just so they were the only ones to achieve the three pronged feat.
Every rag is like that over it, although they keep saying they won it before us. They can beat us as many times as they like in the most annoying ways, but it won’t change the facts and secretly deep down they hate it.
When we won the treble, I was like ‘I’m just going to enjoy supporting this team now, we finally have the holy grail and will always have this over them, no matter how many times they beat us, they hate it and will always be in denial’.
That’s what Goldbridge was in, total denial that we had the better treble with how many games we won and how better we did in every one of the three competitions and that we did it the old fashioned way; getting to the European Cup in the first place by winning something the season prior.
Fuck em, the deluded day dreamers. Look how they celebrate derby wins now, like winning the league, let alone stoppage time goals against mid table teams. That used to be us, now the derby is just another game.
Oh, and one more thing….. 4 in a row.
