Championés! Championés! Olé! Olé! Olé!

We've only gone and done it. One year ago, in Brazil, my brother and I were speculating about what might happen if the Quinn/Drumaville takeover were to go ahead. Our club, remember, had been royally splintered in the Premiership that year, and we were seriously worried about another relegation, down to the third division (League One, or whatever). What if it were to go ahead? What if we were to pick up a top class manager, and start putting a run together? Not in our wildest dreams did we imagine how well it would turn out. To win 5-0, already promoted, away from home, on the last day of the season, and to steal the title from Birmingham in the last five minutes; well, it's the stuff of legend. I wrote a long and emotional thank you to everyone at the club on the SMB messageboard. Have a read if you want a good laugh at my sentimental side.

Moment of the season? Carlos Edwards' screamer last Friday. End to end in nine touches, all but sealing automatic promotion in the last ten minutes v Burnley. He's going to be a handful in the big league next year.
