    How quickly things come around, on Friday its 10 years to the day when we survived the drop to oblivion (imo), and look at what that survival has brought us now.

    Haven't seen anyone say we have a divine right to beat Chelsea away, NJ. Far from it.

    But I agree, we've come such a long way in 10 years.

    "some posters who think we have a divine right to be beating Chelsea away".

    Even though we did beat them away earlier in the season,I don't seem to remember anyone making such a rash statement.

    Incredible how far we have come in such a short time - if our story was made into a Hollywood film people would say it was too far fetched! But this is our reality - we have come from the brink of oblivion to the ninth best team in the premier league - you really couldn't make it up! Happy days!!!!!

    I was just about to post a link to that but you beat me to it Pagan! the documentary is great - brought a tear to my eye to see how much it meant and brought back the memories of that incredible day. Glad that Exeter sorted themselves out aswell - another club that has fan involvement.
    Anyway 10 years down the line 9th in the Premier and a major trophy later, the journey hasnt been bad has it!
