We are no longer that Division 3 and 4 yo-yo club we were 30 years ago.
Are we not allowed to want to better be just because we were shit 30 years ago?
It was also a lot cheaper to go back then, and players were paid a lot less, plus off the field it was "eventful" shall we say, so it was easier to put up with the dross that was served up on the pitch.
