For someone of my vintage, it's so hard to watch these Champions League matches without thinking what if. All this came 30, 40+ odd years too late for us. Just imagine being in this competition year after year with our 2nd, 3rd, 4th place finishes in the 70s and early 80s. Even our 6th place finishes and FA Cup win would have us in the Europa League. What if eh, what if....... Not just mixing it in the English top flight, but year on year with the cream of Europe.
You might say we did that and you'd be correct of course, but nowadays you can't be knocked out in the first, second or third round. They all get to play a minimum of 8 fixtures.
The money would have been nice too! |  |

even more painful was missing out by 3 points in 2000.... how different things may have been after that.
I will add though. I think we will see champions league football back in PR within 10 years [Post edited 28 Jan 21:33]

Top 4 is a very tough nut to crack.
Man City
Arsenal
Liverpool
Chelsea
Man Utd
Newcastle
Aston Villa
We have a very, very big gap to fill. I believe top 10 is possible within 5 years, but top 4 is a massive step up. |  |

I was one of the very fortunates to be around for those times. I don't take it for granted, even now. All I can say to supporters much younger than me who would love to see those sort of times for themselves, is this. There were times between the Sir Alf era and the early SBR era when what happend from around the mid 70's to early 80's wasn't even a pipe dream, I would never even have considered it possible. Well it happened. Keep believing and don't lose the faith. It happened once, it can happen again and as a club we are much better financially off then we were then. | | | |
