Excellent stuff, mate. Grats on all your success. So can you tell us any whacky stuff you saw? Did any of the big teams get relegated? Did Oxford claw their way out of the Conference and become the biggest team in Europe (except for FC United of course!). Did Leeds end up in the conference where they belong? Oops I didn't mean to write that. I remember we have some Leeds fans on here and they're a pretty roudy bunch. I better watch what I say. Umm did any good players end up being good coaches? Did Sherringham play on through his 70's? Did Mourinho smile at all throughout your 30 years? We need more info, buddy!

Chelsea did end up in league 2, liverpool and arsenal went down to division 1, i couldnt believe it. Michael Owen became Pompey manager then got sacked, then Newcastle and sacked then Sunderland then Sacked and then he beat me to the England job!!!!
Ancelotti, Hitzfeld and Victor Valdes all took over Man.Utd. Gareth Southgate followed McClaren into the England job!
Mourinho became Portsmouth manager then he got sacked.
Hull, Sheff.Wed, Bristol City all made it into the premier.
Aston Villa turned into a force to be reckoned with at home and in europe managed by Curtis Davies

I stopped reading at "Chelsea did end up in league 2" and I firmly believe you made this up just to irritate me

retired_lmbruun

Im serious, they lost all their top players and replaced them with average players and just kept dropping down the leagues

Wahay, I completed my 30 seasons. Got my money’s worth. It was a pretty poor career really thanks to being stuck with Yeovil for about 20 seasons of mediocrity. Won nothing of note with a club except that Paint trophy but I did win the Euro Champs with Northern Ireland who bizarrely became invincible for a couple of years or so and even got to the semi of the following world cup.

The one thing that did amuse me was that the big four English clubs managed to remain the big four for my whole career. It was as if no-one else in England could get near their wealth and so the big four had the pick of South America and other superstars. I hope that will be harder for them this time around.

Just hope that my favourite bugbear - the highlights/commentary balance - is better this time.

Any now it’s Gymnastic in Spain who have to suffer my coaching skills!

Nice job, Vane! I'm glad to hear that Chelsea remained at the top. This just further goes to prove that Ridley was pulling my leg with that whole League 2 thing.

I'm in 2014 and Chelsea is in the last place in the Prem, they have to get 7 points from 2 games to escape the drop :p

so after 30 years does the game make you retire or did you decide to retire?
