I think whats more interesting is Portsmouth in 7th, really highlights what a **** 5 years they've had!
.....and to think if it hadn't been for Bruce and his Wigan team (0-5) we might have been top !!
And to put it in perspective, this is fifteen years ago...

And your point is.....?
Other than Bradford, they're all Championship clubs, so are all potentially less than a season away from the top flight.
I'm not saying we're not back on the right track. But all of those clubs have spent time in League 1.
Obviously this doesn't compare to Bradford in terms of a drop, or yourselves and Swansea in terms of a rise. But i'm just showing how much football changes and how quickly.
Some spent longer than others in League 1 - Didn't Leicester bounce back in 1 season? - while TWS took 4 years to get back to Championship level
. I remember Man City and Sunderland spending a season in the 3rd tier in the mid 1990's I think
I agree. That season it felt like we were playing above ourselves. This season I feel far more confident that we will not see a major drop off like we did that year.
No one said that at the time though. While we were flying everyone was confident like they are now, if we were to suffer a slump this season everyone would say they knew we were playing above our level all along...
Was it about this same time that brownie was getting interviewed and answering questions about one day being England manager? Remember the interview on the steps of the north stand at BP.
