dunno Clough taking forest up (in 3rd) then immediately winning the league and back to back European Cups is hard to overlook but still hell of an achievement
The money involved now compared to then is gigantic though. Teams were able to do that back then. Derby, Villa, Everton, Leeds won the league and teams like QPR, Southampton, Ipswich and Watford finished 2nd. In the last 20 years it's never been any team other than Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City that has won it and the only other teams out of those that has finished 2nd is us and Liverpool. Not to mention that they only just escaped relegation last season, the line up hasn't changed massively, nor have they had money thrown at them. They've been top from start to finish and thoroughly deserve the title. It's absolute once in a lifetime stuff that seems completely fictional.
Agreed. Still can't get my head round it.
