If we hadn’t have sacked Dowie in our relegation season I strongly believe we would have survived that season. And who knows.. we may have still been in the prem now.
There are a lot of regrets from that season and many mistakes made in the years before and after. What things still bug you?

Did plan to go to the Chelsea game, ran it past she who must be obeyed who suggested I give that one a miss and we'd go out that evening instead. I said ok, thinking we going to lose anyway. That evening she gets in from work and says she's tired and do I mind if we don't go out - no problem I think, we're going to lose / your not going to miss anything. Then we went and won, on penalties, Murinho first defeat at the Bridge - I was furious !
Since that episode I stopped asking for permission and just stated where I was going and what time I'd be back.
The collapse of the USSR is mainly down to Ronald Reagan so we aren't the kings of Europe because of the American electorate. @SDAddick, @NapaAddick are you proud of yourselves?
The building of the North Upper. Appreciate it had to be done but I love led the old Covered End, I loved my ST in the back row of E Block, and I loved all the different characters around us. Going to The Valley changed a bit after that roof come off.
Never beating Millwall
Murray going all stupid, employing Dowie, and overspending in the process
No, nothing at all,
No, I regret nothing
Not the good things they did to me
Nor the bad -- may as well be the same to me!
No, nothing at all,
No, I regret nothing.
It's bought and paid for, wiped away, forgotten,
I don't give a damn about the past!
With my memories
I've lit up the fire
Of my troubles, my pleasures,
I don't need them any more!
Wiped away the romances
And all their instabilities
Swept away for eternity
I restart at zero
No, nothing at all,
No, I regret nothing
Not the good things they did to me
Nor the bad -- may as well be the same to me!
No, nothing at all,
No, I regret nothing
Because my life, because my joys
Today, I begin with you
Biggest mistake we've made over the last decade.
Even bigger mistake
Letting Curbs walk away a year too early is where this all went wrong.
I also missed the Battle of Stamford bridge as I went to stay with my girlfriend in Wales for the week.
There were some who still thought they were still good for the club until KM left!
One of Curb's strengths was the value he got on the players he bought in, which is massive plus for a Club of our resources.
