...John Polston scored a late goal v Aston Villa which put NCFC back on top of the premier league. Cue absolute delirium in the Barclay!! ManUre - the eventual winners, could only draw 0 - 0 with Arsenal If that doesn't warm a few heart cockles, I don't know what will! Well, it certainly WON'T be the Norfolk weather warming bugger all
I went to the Carrow Road match, Monday night before Christmas and bloody freezing! I brought two Lincoln friends to see a good team, they (the team) let me down that night! Bloody 2 - 0 to the binners!
I was in the lower Barclay! The only enjoyment was the non-stop chanting at you lot, "We are top of the league, say we are top of the league!"
Heady days indeed, and do you know what, I genuinely believe that we can become a Top 6 side again. We have a sound financial base, a very good fan-base with a very respectable guaranteed home attendance and we are starting to be able to attract a higher calibre of player. Will we ever be able to compete with the likes of Man United, Arsenal, even Everton or Spurs over a sustained period? Realistically, no. But can we establish ourselves in the Prem and be genuinely competitive in every game we play? Yes, I think with continued robust financial management and a superb team spirit we can.
Darren 'Black Lineker' Beckford scored a screamer from all of 15 inches in that game against Villa if my memory serves me correctly. Heady days indeed
Heartbreaking to think that Wimbledon got Robbie Earle for the same ££ taht we paid Port Vale for Beckford Good move, wombles
Bog off Welly, when do you think you'll be playing Prem football and signing an £8.5M striker then ?
Saw Lynch refeering the master 5 a side a few years ago. He was still as bad as ever. If anything he had got worse
Keep on topic, mate, this is another Budgie History Thread! Why not tell me about the Bayern match? I'm sure that I've never heard about it before...
While we're at it Welly, why don't we talk about the 'black and white' days when 1p5wich had a football team
We could do that, but it would probably be better done on our board! Why don't you pop over and start such a thread if that's what you want, I'm sure that our lads would love to join in!
