    Didnt want to dig this up again but it was a great time in the clubs history, remember thinking what the hell is going on here haha, what were you all thinking when you saw this table in October 2008?

    Wanna be back there but Im enjoying the Championship to be honest, getting back to winning ways seeing attacking football and its a fantastic league to be in and in alot of ways were better for it. Keep rebuilding though and who knows, we may see this again sometime in the future. UTT!

Hope I havent opened a can of worms with this thread, I was just reminiscing! TONY_WARNERS_FACE maybe we should have kept him on till the end of season but come on dude you know he lost control...

    We should have sacked him in December/January or not sacked him at all. End of story.

    It's true, that was Brownie at his best.

    It was just before he bottled it, went 4-5-1, fell out with half the players and we went into free-fall.

    Nobody's perfect.

    I saw this thread and knew this comment was coming! To be fair i actually agree with you, though he was our greatest manager until things went tits up. We played West Brom on the Saturday before Liverpool and Chelsea played on the Sunday, us winning left us joint top for 24 hours. Remember going to Old Trafford and us been above Man United, think bacon face mentioned it in the matchday program.

    feck me Oct 2008 seems a seriously long time ago now....thankfully the 98 table is even further back...although I do find it a real, we can look back on it now and laugh scenario, seeing stuff like that always makes me chuckle and reminds me just how far we've come

    Just thinking, we've seen our club 92nd in the league and joint top of the league. How many other clubs have ever occupied both those positions? (after games played)

    Well Pearson has managed at least two clubs that have achieved that feat.

    Hull City 5 points clear of Man United, in a Champions League spot? It may not have lasted long, but it was one surreal experience whilst it did. <ok>

    A bit hard to believe that we only registered 15 points from the remaining 29 games from that point on.

    change it from 92nd to just bottom of the league and you'd get a better result. not certain but maybe carlisle preston burnley add pre ww1 and you can include notts forest and wba.
