Post by: Lucky Eddie on July 19, 2010, 03:56:41 PM: Does this squad list from Spurs 01 give anyone else a slightly warm feeling of recollection too?

A number of pretty decent VILLA MEN in there for my book.

Delaney
Alpay
Mellberg
Wright
Merson
Boateng
Hendrie
Kachloul
Angel
Vassell

Ginola
Hadji
Stone

Plus:

Balaban
Staunton
Dublin

We started that season really well with Hadji looking sharp in midfield, Mellberg looking class and Angel and Vassell a dangerous partnership.

No. Before kick off we had four games left and had to win them all to have any hope of staying up without having to go through the play-offs (which at the time pitched fourth bottom in Division One against 3rd, 4th and 5th from Division Two).

Ta Chris, were we down after though?

Not straight away. I think we lost at Arsenal the following week, meaning that we needed the play-offs to have any chance of staying up. We followed this on the Monday bank holiday by losing 2-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday, the result that sealed our fate.

PEDANTIC INTERRUPTION:

We could still mathematically have stayed up even then. The result that really sent us down was Oxford beating Leicester that night.
