analysing our relegation year

how the feck did we get relegated?!, i know its coz we failed to get at least 10 wins and 10 draws, but with the players we had, how did we not stay up?

robinson kelly matteo viduka and smith all played at least 30 league games, harte and milner managed over 20

i think it has to be pointed out that unfortunately, seth 7 million waste of money johnson managed to get picked 24 times, that was 24 too many!

jermaine pennant played 34 times, now he should have been decent, he was a good player back then, but i dont remember him ripping trees up at leeds

i think we badly missed the likes of radebe batty bakke and bridges, bridges was transferred out part way through, the other 3 only managed a handful of games between them, mcphail was another who only managed a handful of starts, was he good enough at the time, or better than the likes of seth johnson for example?

would keeping martyn dacourt and kewell have helped?, i know the money from their transfers helped keep the club afloat, but from a playing point of view?

I long for the day we get back into the premier league, this season in question seems so long ago now

bored Clive?

Can we change the subject clive?

Oh did we get relegated then?

Does that mean we were once in the Premiership?

I had cut the rope down from the tree, but after this thread i feel like putting it up again.
