Title: Omens
Post by: Ardiles on Friday, May 28, 2010, 13:34:12
I'll set the ball rolling.

Many of the key events in STFC history have happened when the year ends in a '0'.

1910   Reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup
1920   Enter the Football League
1970   Beat Napoli to win the Anglo-Italian Cup
1990   Win Play offs to reach First Division for a (sadly short lived) first time
2000   Relegation to third tier for first time in over a decade
2010   ? ? ?

There's going to be something to add for 2010 either way. It'll either be a play-off win, or our first ever defeat at Wembley. Which would be tragic, not least because it would mean we can't sing the song any more!

Oddly enough when we won promotion in 1990, During that season we drew and lost to Sunderland so we failed to beat them but beat them in the Play-Off Final.

And in 93' we drew and lost to Leicester but beat them in the Play-Off Final.

I posted these on the other thread:

The last time we beat Leeds before this season the year ended with a '0', The last time we beat Leeds before this season they were promoted, The last time we beat Leeds before this season we won the Play-Offs.

In 1993 We stumbled over the line, having been in contention for an automatic spot like this season.

We played the first leg of the semi final at home, the second away, Just like this season.

We played Leicester in the Final who had lost the Play-Off Final the previous season.

The opposition team played in Blue.

We've got the same end of the ground as in 1990 and 1993 (old Wembley obviously)!

In 1990 Sunderland were a bunch of arrogant cunts. in 1993 Leicester were a bunch of arrogant cunts. In 2010 Millwall are  ......... well you get the message.
Also in 1990 I was an obnoxiuos fat bastard. in 1993 I was an obnoxiuos fat bastard and in 2010 I'm still an abnoxious fat bastard.
