Yeah. That was a fun time under Jol and Robbo had a great rapport with the Park Lane.

Few times have been more enjoyable in football.

We weren't all that good but that meant expectations weren't that high. We played some good football and it finally felt that we had our club back after years of misery.

Both Robbo and Jol had a big hand in that.

That run in when we first qualified for Europe under Jol was right up there with the most enjoyable times at the Lane for me.

Agreed. But little did we know it was going to get even better under Redknapp.

It definitely felt like we'd got our club back, and the good times had returned. Pity all the sniping fans who said he's taken us as far as he can, forced Levy's hand.

It wasn't nearly the same.

Fans would never have sung for Redknapp on the way out that we did for Jol. There just wasn't the same feeling of closeness between the fans and the team/manager

Have to agree with this, i meet a lot of fans traveling around and i do not think i have ever seen our fan base so split as we were over " "rent a quote"

You're right, but based on performance, it doesn't make sense. Also, l can't get with the two-facedness of lauding Jol, but saying he was limited, but slagging off Harry and appreciating the football we played.
 
Went to see Dulwich Hamlet vs Billericay today. No Jamie O'Hara though. The Billericay coach lost it when taunted afterwards and we were front row witnesses to it all. Pennant subbed off early. Konchesky captain.
