November 25, 20187 yr Never need to apologise for stuff like that. It still all feels a bit unreal though...what a time to be a White.
November 25, 20187 yr Does feel unreal, like a different club. Incredible players, beating big teams regularly, full ground, even different crest and all white kit
November 25, 20187 yr 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.

November 25, 20187 yr 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

November 25, 20187 yr 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.
November 25, 20187 yr Simply brillaint no club has come close to achieving what we did (apart from your top 6)
November 25, 20187 yr 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.
November 25, 20187 yr In fact I've just looked at the table. There was some cracking teams then incredible we were up there.
November 25, 20187 yr Such a special time to be a Wanderer. I’ll never forget it. Thank you for posting
November 26, 20187 yr 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.
November 26, 20187 yr Good God We went from scarborough to Bayern Munich in 20 years Don't be so defeatist and dream a bit Aye. It probably won't happen but without a dream, there's not really much point
November 26, 20187 yr 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

Oh well memory is a funny thing :)
