Got very mixed feelings.

That was the ****test season of our ****test decade.

That decade still blights our club today as we lost so many fans in that period, as football reached new heights of popularity and we plumbed unknown depths of ****ness.

This bunch of players are rightly lauded for their character, their feat of turning it round when staring down the barrel of a gun and their 'cometh the hour cometh the man' mentality.

Warren Joyce will always be remembered for putting together a group not on the basis of talent but of character, and they don't teach you how do that at Lilleshall or St Georges. It's real life experience and insight needed, not the coaching manuals.

However it was one of the lowpoints of our history (no fault of these players or their manager), and for me the euphoria will always be less than the anger and disgust at how our club was ****ed up over many years to get it into that **** state.

Harold Needler snuffed it in 1975, his son put money it till 1982, called in the Receiver but still held onto it till the late 90s.

With these two, convinced of their own 'business expertise',it's only been for sale for 5 years, so possibly many years of slow stagnation/decline still to come.

Today's cheery Thought For The Day there.

You're welcome.

Don't know who it was written by but it was in the HDM about three years ago, almost the same story. Perhaps they can rehash the classic and highly regarded Thriller at the Villa pieces if they've run out of new stuff.
