Very, very good, yeah.
Well, Eric on the pod actually said we had him to thank for Blackburn winning the title because he was banned for the last few months of that season.
And he says if he had been playing, we wouldn't have won that title.
I beg to differ on that one because I reckon we should have won it the season beforehand with Blackburn.
We lost on the last day.
We lost on the last day at Anfield.
And Man United didn't win at West Ham.
So that gave us the title.
But we were in a really, really good position this season before as well.
And it was only our inexperience that cost us, I think.
Maybe not in our first season.
I think we finished fourth.
Fourth or fifth in our first season.
Then our second season, we thought, this might be it.
And we finished second that year.
And as I said, we should have won it.
But the third year when we did win it,
then we were really, really confident.
Up until the last game or two, then we were petrified.
Yeah, it was.
