Loved the poem HH, thanks for sharing it.
As for We go again, bloody right we do, always will, always have, and I have no problems with that moment, thought it was superb, still do. Would anyone have told Ali he shouldn't make those boasts cos it might go wrong one day? No, fuck it, do it, say it, emotions at the right time, made a season like I've never experienced, a season for black-and-white pathe news, 101 goals, 50 odd conceded, that is not right in football terms, even the 60s tables don't have those kind of figures. We played some of the best football I have ever seen, and some of the less best
Our 11 would beat anybody in a street match, especially with the lights turned out. I'm happy at that season, the good, and the bad, but the good wins and if anyone wants the hugs confined to the dressing-room, cover your eyes. We could win the league next season, and I believe, and I know we can, but it might still not be as exhilarating as this season just gone. Enjoy, appreciate, praise, laugh, cry at what we've had this season, but save the shouldn't-have-done-that-just-thens for the bargain-bucket teams.
It could have been iconic... Unfortunately, history is written by the victors.
It is iconic, and the victors are too busy marauding and plundering to do much writing. History is invented by those who weren't quite there and are paid to come up with something.
