Who remembers season 85/86??

We started off with 10 straight wins, were 10 points clear of 2nd place and I think finished 3rd that year 10 points behind the vermin...

What a sickener that season was..!

thats what makes our last 2 decades of dominance over the @#%&!s so much sweeter.....we remember how it felt when it was the other way around and we know how much it hurts and how much they hate it

the youngsters wont appreciate that.....and hope they never have to....thats why we fought the war

yes remember when we drew with luton 1-1 to end the run, was gutted but not as gutted as i was in may 86

Aye, what the heck was akky thinking on that one, remember him buying terry/colin gibson and mark higgins as well, maybe we didnt deserve to win anything on them players

Very vaguely. Was the year my old man took me to my first game at OT, the West Brom game I think, was only 4. The season after he took me to a few away's as well, went to Coventry and Everton, if I remember rightly.

Indeed remember the pain at the end of that season, shit it was, and the next few seasons we're shit, part from 88 when we finished 2nd, to them bastards!

and to think i used to judge a season during those times as a sucess if we beat liverpool or having a decent cup run.
cant see me being satisfied with that ever again.
the fa cup was a brilliant competition then too

We came 4th in a 2 horse race. Never missed that season

I prefered the 84/85 season, at least we came away with something, and big norm scoring a mint goal in the final!

I was 5, so not really.

We won the first ten games of the season and there was no football on the £#%&!in telly! It came back on just in time for the FA cup 3rd round.
