Arthur Whittle 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Just been re reading Iwan Roberts splendid book, All I want for christmas....and was just thinking why the hell cant we have a season like that again. Its the eve of the big kick off, time to get excited. We had a good feeling here, not just at the club but the whole city. So many memorys from that season from sunderland away to Hucks signing before the forest game. Why cant we create that good vibe again? We didnt invest heavily that season either , I believe that we the fans built confidence at that club just like Iwan says in his book. So lets do all again, and get this club up! The Cullam thing has been gone and been discussed-im over it. Its a new season a new start. Lets start by tonking Coventry!On the ball city-chamipionship winners 2008-2009?

Lurd 0 Posted August 8, 2008 I agree, I often pick up that book for a light read and recall the most happy period for me as a city fan. Sadly, I was away at Uni a lot of the time and missed a lot of games and the vibe but whenever I came back I was always impressed (cardiff at home anyone?)Infact we were in a good position untill I came back in 2005 and got a season ticket after relegation! Maybe I should leave town again.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Monkey 52 Posted August 8, 2008 Well said Arthur, but don''t forget that pre-season and first 6 games orso the mood was probably worse than now! We''d missed out on theplay-offs that year and had a strike force of Neilsen, Abbey and acertain Elvis Hammond on loan to go with.... Come September, things hadchanged somewhat and it wasn''t really until then that the atmospherekicked off....We''re going to need some time to "bed in" this season, and I hope thefans allow us that, because if the pressure is off some of theseplayers could really push on for us... Maybe....[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Berkshire Canary 12 Posted August 8, 2008 It would be great to have another season like that, it just went beyond all expectation!!The only problem is everytime I read All I Want For Christmas I find it hard not to smile at the number of times Iwan drops heavy hints for a coaching role at the club. Having said that he probably did deserve something!!! [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
