    25 years ago we were in the old 1st Division (premiership today) seems like 10 minutes ago to me.
    And yet we have fallen to what seems to be new depths,

    We find ourselves behind teams such as Hull City, Cardiff, Stoke, Leeds, Wigan, Bolton,

    All teams we should be well above <yikes>


    Funny old game especially when you think there are some "BIG" (and famous) clubs below us Sheff.Wed/Utd. Barnsley, Wolves, Coventry,


    How long till things are put right again ?

    Might find that harder next season,when your 1 league below Wigan and 2 below Leeds.For an old timer like you Mighty who remembers the pub league seasons this year would go down as dizzy heights wouldn't it ?.:emoticon-0100-smile

    25 years ago, we were in the top flight and Leeds were - where they are now.
    They seem to be in their natural home, whilst we are below where we should be <grr>

    Your wishful thinking Mrs Kim is looking bang tidy on that photo.
    If you want to buy some naked snaps of the real Mrs Kim mighty is flogging them for 10p each.

    You need to start winning some trophies Mighty, instead of living on memories of getting the odd lucky win against one of the big boys.
    You are always gonna be a small club who may have the odd season in the top flight, once every 50 years or so, but you'll never win a ****ing thing, so you haven't really fallen, you're still above where clubs like yours belong, so enjoy it while you can bud<ok>

    24 years ago we won the old league 2 and passed you on the way down,23 years ago we finished 4th in the top league the season after we won it.Millwall disappeared out of sight and have been in there rightful place below us ever since.

    Derby
    Millwall
    Wolves
    Huddersfield
    Sheff Wed/Utd
    Middlesbro
    Barnsley

    2 or 3 punching above

    Palace
    Hull
    Cardiff


    The rest pretty much stagnant <ok>

    24 Years ago Leeds were a team that yo-yo'd between the top & 2nd flights - as were we.
    In the last decade we have both yo-yo'd between the 2nd and 3rd flights.

    I think the Championship is where we both belong and guess what - it's where we will both be next season <cheers>
