I'd love to discover at what point you'd change that view - after we're relegated in 2025,

2035, 2045 and 2055, I mean.

Sure it has something to do with our place in the pecking order. We'll always be a club worried about relegation from this level. But no top flight relegations in that entire period apart from when the year ended in '5'? Sorry, but that's just weird.

        Disagree. I think there's something in numerology, for example. (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 29, 21:03:50

        True. But equally we know just because a majority think it's true, doesn't mean it is. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 29, 21:18:18
