    That’s a relief, for a moment (the past 12 months) I’d had the illusion that we were already having major issues.

    We need a new club motto. What’s Latin for “we’re capable of failing to meet the exceptionally low standards others set for us”

    Adds a whole new level of excitement to a rollercoaster ride if the tracks might be sold and taken apart while you’re on it.

    It’s unfortunate, but not harsh. The car wasn’t legal. It’s an absolute mess if you have a sliding scale of punishment for how illegal the car is...
    The FIA wouldn’t need a sample, and teams could run the tank dry, if there wasn’t such a development race when it comes to fuel. Ferrari, it seemed, were cheating with their fuel a couple of years ago and the history of the sport is littered with shenanigans from teams like Benetton and BAR, often hiding entire reservoirs somewhere in the car that the scrutineers couldn’t find. It’s one of the most important post-race checks designed to catch out rule-bending and breaking.
    That being said, Aston appear confident they can prove that there was enough fuel in the car. This Grand Prix will probably finish some time in September.

    Ridiculous statement. Nobody is arguing that, not even Red Bull.
    The debate is whether the move was too risky. It’s not possible at that speed to crash in a way that takes out your opponent and leaves you with a minor scratch at that speed.

    Don’t blame those fans. Our collective moral barometer and understanding of what constitutes abnormal has been shifted so far, most of us don’t have any grip on reality at all.
    Tom Lawrence could lead a seance in the Moor Farm canteen and awaken evil spirits which haunt the entire U18 squad and some fans would say “he’s done nothing wrong/this happens all the time at other clubs/it’s the EFL who have it in for us/I have a mate who’s haunted by demons and he’s alright”

    I really like the analogy, but I do think he had vision and bravery in bucketloads, just totally misplaced. I used to conflate our timid away performances with a timid culture at the club but sheesh, having read Pride, Nigel had a very clear vision for how we wanted to play and borderline bullied any player that got in his way. That's where his skillset fell short. He couldn't - or wouldn't - get on with the modern footballer so he got his brother to stalk the British Isles finding parodies of old-fashioned footballers.
    You know the phrase "you can't make an omelette without breaking any eggs?" I'd imagine an Omelette made by Nigel Clough would be inedible due to the amount of egg shell in it.

    In answer to the original question, it's remarkable how much collective amnesia we seem to have for 07/08. I suppose it was more comical than depressing. It is incredible, though, that we had the witnessed the most pathetic attempt at a league campaign in English history and for many fans that still wasn't the most depressing episode in their time supporting our club.
    This may be niche, but I think 2016 was a very bleak time. It was very clear by January that year that we'd spent an enormous amount of money on very average players, and for that we are still paying the price. It still has the potential to finish us.
