[Albion] How are they going to top this?

- Start date
It's our turn, I've been saying for a few years it's our ****ing turn. Everyone else has had a try at the premier league. Every single person involved with this club DESERVES it. It's our time

This. I know life goes on and the team evolves (often replaced with better players), but they were bloody legends – Greer too. I'm guessing Kaz (who probably had his best spell with us at the beginning of that campaign) has probably played his last game in an Albion shirt.
In answer to your question, [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION], I don't think they'll have any problems finding equivalent footage, given the quality of some of the goals the team has scored and all the emotional stuff surrounding Knocky, his dad and THAT celebration. Choice of song is a tough one. I doubt they'd do it again, but Ashes would be a great shout.
Failing that, what about 'Moving on up' by M People (if promoted)
Bit harsh?

The ST is going in the fire if they start playing M People...

If.... IF we go up this year. It will feel very much to me like this this was a 2 season campaign.
I don't think it's very often that a squad stays so largely unchanged, with so many playing such an important part and who seemingly improve in every area together.
Every lesson we could have learned from last season we have done so far... it's just that last one.. Getting over that damn line.

Not even the best song called 'Moving on Up'.
Along with Peter Ward, Alan Mullery, Gordon Smith, Robbie Reinalt, Atilla, Paul Samrah,John Prescott, Dick Knight and so many more we are a fantastic club and this IS our time

Last season was of course so different for it being so unexpected. We did much of in style too. This time around the chic has left us a tad, and whilst we perhaps didn't wholly expect to be where we are, we thought, nay knew, we'd be challenging. Still great, but last season had a greater sense of romance and the spectacular.
The video will have me a touch tearful, of course. A young Newcastle fan said he'd like to see me weep this season, which I said I would wholeheartedly when promotion was ours. I might have someone send him a video of my sobbing, whatever the cause.

The final third(ish) of this would be a good place to start (music included).

I have moments when I feel like this and I think for me it's because this somehow feels a little easier, a little more less unexpected. I was so confident we would be up there this season once we signed Murray that it hasn't been a surprise to me.
That said some of the last minute winners and tight games have given me the same feeling, and I think going up with some comfort will ultimately be a lot lot better than not going up last season, IF IF IF we go up.

Yeah, I'll go with that. That period from late November through February was tense as, turning the games round against Fulham at home, Villa, Birmingham, Fulham away, Wednesday and Brentford, was a complete rollercoaster of emotions, with us losing in all of them - well almost losing against Weds - and ending up with 4 wins and 2 draws - and as you say that period was topped and tailed by our first ever win at Weds, thrashing Norwich and then taking apart Reading and Derby. That's where this season was won.
Since then its fallen into a more stable pattern of solid wins where it was expected and the odd defeat where it might be expected, but don't forget what an exhilarating period that was in the middle. Now we're all just waiting nervously for the inevitable, and maybe an exciting battle for the title?

Very much agree. IF we do go up this year then the pain of last year will be part of the joy this year. And those players who left us after last season will absolutely be part of the squad spirit and resilience this year.
