Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted November 25, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2018 Never need to apologise for stuff like that. It still all feels a bit unreal though...what a time to be a White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Does feel unreal, like a different club. Incredible players, beating big teams regularly, full ground, even different crest and all white kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 The era should have secured the clubs foundations for decades to come. Instead the money was fluttered away like a piss head that’s won the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten3 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Somethings that i believe are not correct in a generally excellent article. Todd left because of frandsen sale when it was supposed to be he had been sacked but we reduced his payoff with that fib on todds part. Nakata was successful as i remember it but short lived 1 or 2 years? Interesting the 92% of league postion is to do with wages. Which of course very much applies to our current position.

Apart from the odd moment, Nakata wasn’t very good Same with Candela but folk seem to remember the name be pedigree rather than the performances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_spencer Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Nakata was best during warm ups and his skills and tricks contest with jayjay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overseas Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Allardyce indeed was great at Bolton, top of the Prem and in Europe. And as soon as he left Bolton went down, down, down. Let THAT sink in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghana White Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 We were unlucky that it coincided with two very good teams at united and arsenal. Could have pulled off a Leicester. Doesn't seem real looking back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghana White Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 In fact I've just looked at the table. There was some cracking teams then incredible we were up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adlington Trotter Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Read this yesterday with my one year old son playing on the carpet in front of me. Whilst it's great to think back to those days, it's a shame he will probably never see anything even close to what we were lucky enough to see.

Moderators Zico Posted November 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2018 Agree No reason we can't get promoted again further down the line And if we do, no reason we can't get in Europe again As shown by the fact we've already done it, twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
