actually its when we had good players
Sheesh we were great back then.
Long time ago now.
Still gets you out of your seat. ONE touch, not one million.

They never dwelt on the ball and waited for magical gaps to appear, they moved it 60 yards with 3-4 passes and had willing runners all over the pitch. Wish I was 16 again and doing GCSE's, just to witness them play.

The football was exciting and exquisite, we had a lot of leaders and desire to win and were always competitive on the pitch and were organised and committed at the back.
Somehow we decided 5 yard passing munchkins with no idea where the goal is and defenders who round around oblivious of anyone else around them was a better solution.
Thing is we were a massive oil rich club ack then always buying 30 mill quid players. We just can't afford to do that now.

Got to say, you can't beat the good old top 18 format.
