I know we got relegated in the end but that season - especially with hindsight - really was a lot of fun, wasn't it?
Beating Saints 5-0 and going top, the 3-3 at Anfield and the 1-0 win over Liverpool at home, the 4-3 win at Villa and Hunty getting a brace at Spuds.
Happy (ish) days.
that was 10 effing years ago.
Was on an all-dayer in Upper Belvedere. Remember we were all getting anxious in front of the big screen in the CIU club as it was 1-0. Must have been a late finish, because i can remember virtually every result coming in and i was pacing the room.
Then Jeff Stelling goes 'would you believe it, late drama at Pride Park' and we all thought we had conceded, then it come up Pringle had scored and we went as bonkers as you could possibly imagine !
Very messy on the way home. . . . . . as per usual.
Shamon muther f**ker
Great day- I was there (with nne of the now Canadian Addicks)-
Pringle's goal sent every one completely mental
10 years ago,let's hope we dont get relegated?
was one of the most memorable away games in yonks
very boozy, very illegal, very very very funny
all in all
I hope to feck Derby away this year will be as close to that day as possible
What I remember we were good value as was Barnsey, spraying passes round the middle and Pringle's half the pitch run was great fun. I kind of got fed up that season when Curbs broke up the Tiler Brown partnership, thought they really worked against the teams we could beat. Great and frustrating season but any bit of class we lacked was no problem as virtually every player busted a gut - apart from woeful Redfearn. Especially Andy Hunt who had to struggle without Mendonca for long periods, thought the guy just worked his socks off.
Had a ticket for the Villa match but the bird wanted a trip to Brighton. Completely wasted weekend.
That's right Dave - great celebrations for Pringle's goal - 10 years (shudders !)

Thankfully they decided to leave me and my boy alone - but I remember me telling him not to mention it to his mum, him bigging me up and me struggling to drive home as my hand hurt me so much!
