As many of us are using this time to reflect on the unlikely events of the past few years, I want to say thank you to the "Magnificent Seven":
Jules
Damo
Wardy
Mile
Wilf
Yala
FFS
No less than seven Championship players from the 2013-14 season played a significant role in reaching the top half of the toughest division in the world some two seasons later (an eternity in the game today).
While it took a while for all seven to simultaneously start and win a game (due to Zaha's United spell, Murray's injury and loan spell, the Asian and African Cups and Jedinak's suspensions etc.), the victory at West Ham this season was particularly gratifying because all seven started and won.
During the off season, there have already been and will continue to be numerous rumours about some of the seven departing. Some may even turn out to be true. Who knows?
When some of the 1990 FA Cup Final players recently got together to celebrate the 25th anniversary, I could not help but think how great it would be to get these seven together 25 years from now (together with Punch, Dann, McLedley and King Chamakh etc. and a 78 year old Pards).
But maybe, just maybe, they will all get together again this August and push towards Europe. How unlikely would that be?
I know there is no room for sentimentality in football.
Or is there? Maybe just a little bit?
