In the old days of Osgood, Harris and Webb we could be relied upon to collapse in a heap at the hands of teams like Orient. Under the watchful gaze of McNeill, Hurst, Porterfield and even Hoddle we would manage to contrive defeat against the likes of Millwall, Scunthorpe or Oxford Utd.
However, since the arrival of Messrs Gullit, Vialli, Ranieri, Mourinho, Grant and Scolari we have become a fearsome world power capable of crushing minnows with a simple flick of the wrist. Untouchable by all but the finest the game has to offer.
...Oh, hang on a minute.
