... we won the league, won the FA Cup and finished in the top 6 on two other occasions ... if the authorities hadn't inhibited our projection with their restraint of trade sanctions we'd likely still be 'punching' ... as it is, it's still great to see clubs like Palace winning one of the major trophies ... maybe you'll do it to ... one day ...
You can't take away Leicester or Blackburn winning the league, they deserved it in those seasons, but it hasn't made them 'big' clubs because of it. Maybe win another 3 and we can talk.
Anyway, my work for the night is done... the Toon lads have obviously accepted that, achievement wise, they are on a par with Birmingham City and Swansea City in terms of the last half a century... but short of what Wigan and Crystal Palace have managed ... and light years aways from Premier League winners ... Night, night, ladies ...
