Regrets? I've had a few. But there again too few to mention.2

If we had never given Dowie the job in the first place, we had much more of a chance of staying up, Murray only done it, to have a go at Jordandizzee said:If we hadn’t have sacked Dowie in our relegation season I strongly believe we would have survived that season. And who knows.. we may have still been in the prem now.

The sale of Scott Parker in January 2004, because that was when it all started to unravel. Should have made him stay until the Summer.21

Personal regrets - not going to the Valencia friendly, and the Chelsea league cup away win.
Did plan to go to the Chelsea game, ran it past she who must be obeyed who suggested I give that one a miss and we'd go out that evening instead. I said ok, thinking we going to lose anyway. That evening she gets in from work and says she's tired and do I mind if we don't go out - no problem I think, we're going to lose / your not going to miss anything. Then we went and won, on penalties, Murinho first defeat at the Bridge - I was furious !
Since that episode I stopped asking for permission and just stated where I was going and what time I'd be back.6 -
I regret the collapse of the Soviet Union. If that hadn't happened, Abramovitch wouldn't have got his hands on most of the wealth of Siberia, Chelsea would still be also-rans who could never have afforded Parker, and we'd have got in to Europe that year.superclive98 said:The sale of Scott Parker in January 2004, because that was when it all started to unravel.

The collapse of the USSR is mainly down to Ronald Reagan so we aren't the kings of Europe because of the American electorate. @SDAddick, @NapaAddick are you proud of yourselves?25 -
I regret that Adolph Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, then we wouldn't have had to go to war with Germany, the Gliksteins would have rebuilt the Valley to become the Highbury of South London, bought more top ranking Players, (Stanley Matthews was being mentioned at the time), and we would still be in the top flight. Bloody Adolph Hitler. What became of him anyway?5

no no regrets-----catchy maybe someone could do a song ?0

Not going on one of the Anglo Italian away games, or on one of the pre season tours to Holland / Scandinavia when I was in a position to
The building of the North Upper. Appreciate it had to be done but I love led the old Covered End, I loved my ST in the back row of E Block, and I loved all the different characters around us. Going to The Valley changed a bit after that roof come off.
Never beating Millwall
Murray going all stupid, employing Dowie, and overspending in the process6 -

Not going to the 4-2 win against Arsenal at Highbury. Had a ticket thought I would play for my Sunday team then watch in the pub later.2

Je ne rien regrette
No, nothing at all,
No, I regret nothing
Not the good things they did to me
Nor the bad -- may as well be the same to me!
No, nothing at all,
No, I regret nothing.
It's bought and paid for, wiped away, forgotten,
I don't give a damn about the past!
With my memories
I've lit up the fire
Of my troubles, my pleasures,
I don't need them any more!
Wiped away the romances
And all their instabilities
Swept away for eternity
I restart at zero
No, nothing at all,
No, I regret nothing
Not the good things they did to me
Nor the bad -- may as well be the same to me!
No, nothing at all,
No, I regret nothing
Because my life, because my joys
Today, I begin with you0 -
Selling Yann for peanuts.
Biggest mistake we've made over the last decade.5 -

I'd go a bit further back than what might have been with Dowie.
Letting Curbs walk away a year too early is where this all went wrong.4 -
Not going Millwall in the snow.1

Er actually it wasn’t ‘Murinho’’s first defeat at the Bridge. Apparently it didn’t count as it wasn’t in 90 minutes...Dennis_inthelastmin said:Personal regrets - not going to the Valencia friendly, and the Chelsea league cup away win.

My biggest regret is getting into a stupid fight at the play off final and getting thrown out after 15 minutes.
I also missed the Battle of Stamford bridge as I went to stay with my girlfriend in Wales for the week.0 -

Thinking that Meire and RD were good for the Club when they took over. How wrong was I?0

There were some who still thought they were still good for the club until KM left!0 -
Curbs never given the financial backing that Dowie received.0

Probably will be at about 5.00 - after going today!1

Did one of the Anglo Italian Cup away games, been to four different Countries seeing pre season friendlies but my biggest regret is that I've never seen our Club in a 'real' European competition - even though I know we'd get knocked out by the likes of TNS, Kilmarnock or Glentoran rather than a glamour tie at a big European Club.

I think he was, he just didn't want to waste it on the likes of Traore and JFH.Kap10 said:Curbs never given the financial backing that Dowie received.
One of Curb's strengths was the value he got on the players he bought in, which is massive plus for a Club of our resources.
