Best 1981 worst 1986. Pretty bad this year but not as shattering as that relegation (was still only 20 then whereas now I just look at things with a reflective cynical eye I guess) |  | | |

Best 1962 which was really a once in a lifetime year but closely followed by 1981 which could have topped it and proved that it wasn't if only....
Worst, whenever it was that Keane was here. |  | | |

IMHO, you need to ask about seasons not calendar years
Best: 80/81
Worst: 18/19 (careful what you wish for...)
The Ferguson and Duncan ears were not easy on the eye but we all cared less about winning / losing - football was more of a way of life and a social event. Despite the football, the beer and company were good, happy days off the pitch.
Met an old school friend last week, a fellow Town fan, who has pretty much given up on football. It has been ruined by money to the point where only the biggest clubs can hope to win something. And when Leicester throw a spanner in the works, the top clubs want to change the funding model so that they siphon off even more of the cash.
Have only seen Town once this season - at Boro - where we worked hard to limit them and then fell away in the second half. I have not done the maths but there squad would have cost 10-20x what we have spent, and they are nothing much.
So I fear for the future as I can not see this getting any better. Even if someone came in and bought out ME (we have been on the market for a number of years), where does it end. A new owner would need to spend £50m to get us up and a hundred million a season to keep us in the group outside of the elite.

Best 1981
Worst 2012 - The last few months of Jewell's tenure tested my resolve more than anything else I've endured following this club. | | | |

Best 2000 or 1992.
Worst 1994 (at least 1995 picked up a bit following relegation) | | | |

Best 1980 - 81 - but ultimately a case of what might have been, as the triple was on at Easter.
Worst 2001 - 02 - the season that lead to administration and where we are now. | | | |

81 for both.
It was marvellous, so many highlights but you know what....it was the worst for me as well because we were that good we should have won more.
I do think it's hard for many to believe just how good we were. |  |

Keane would be my next lowest point. | |

I agree it’s normally done in seasons, but as today is what it is I thought I’d go mad and try something different
That said I agree with pretty much all you say | |

Best 1992. Promotion, carried onto into great form. Just one home defeat. Then 2000 a little behind.
Worst 1994. Look at the results that year, we won five league games FFS. Really don't know how Man Utd are amongst them. |  |

Glad you agree, how can there be any debate about 1994?? | |

You are so right about 1980/81.
It was a wonderful season but could and should have been even better.
Regarding your last line, you are right about that too-you needed to be there to appreciate just how good that team was. | | | |

1980. Last half of 79/80, first half of 80/81. We were untouchable, just the wrong 42 games! | | | |

No, that's done at the end of the season  |  |

So agree with this. I will never forget the devastating feeling that we only won the UEFA Cup that season when we should have won the treble. It sounds so bizarre and wrong now, but you had to be there to understand. | | | |

We should have won the league, the cup was a not a done deal. Just winning a European trophy felt like an under-achievement.
In the end, we ran out of legs. IIRC, teams only had one sub that season and over the course of around 60 games, we relied on just 13 players.

Best 1981 for all the reasons already given.
Worst 1995 - we were the laughing stock of the Premier League losing 9-0 at Manure and getting stuffed on a regular basis | |

91-92 was fantastic, totally unexpected. Coincided with me also scoring on a regular basis, it was fun. |  | | |

2016 was pretty dire but perhaps the season after the nearly season under Royle
It was quite apparent it would he some time before we were a force again |  |
