Champions League final, Steve Mildenhall scoring in the last minute to equalise, Southend win 5-4 on pens.
Lineup:

---------------Mildy-------------
Nevielle --- Clarke ---- Piqué --- Evra
Ronaldo -- Gerrard -- Iniesta -- Riera
------- Crouch -- Eastwood ------

That or what Sussex said.

you spelt Moussa wrong!
 
There's a lot of changes going on in football with small clubs getting big (Reading, Wigan, Burnley, Hull, & even the likes of Barnsley, Blackpool, Donny & so on) and big clubs rapidly shrinking (Forest, Leeds, Charlton, Saints, Norwich, Leicester etc) so its hard to predict. Being honest if we maintain our position as an upper L1 club and banish the bad old L2 days forever I'll be content enough.
 
I see us playing our first game in a brand new stadium on the fourth moon from the son.

Our team will be made up of Half Man-Half Monkey like creatures that all pray to Franky Banks.

The stadium will hover in its own orbit and we will constanty be under attack from others plants. Referees will have been replaced with cyclops that can see and hear all (Meaning no more dodgey offsides).

Either that or a decent league one side with no left back.
 
Settled into the new stadium, as serious contenders in League One with genuine potential to grow and sustain a position in the Championship under the management of Steve Tilson, our answer to Dario Gradi.

Not sure I would want Tilly to be the new Dario Gradi, long serving manager but never really achieved much apart from selling on youngsters for big money.
 
The Martin Dawn/Tres Semme Arena being packed to the rafters, accounts bolstered by 22,000 people flocking every week to the Toni and Guy set up next to the ticket office for the "Ron Special".

We then sign Nicky Bailey and make him direct traffic into the ground.
 
Still wont be any onions in the hot dogs and the bluebelles will be replaced by a group of breakdancing monkeys, the winners of Britains Got Talent 2014, judged by Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Chanelle from Big Brother.
 
Dreams of the Premiership are dashed following a 5-1 Defeat in the Championship play off final against Newcastle United infront of 40,000 Blues fans @ Wembley....however the final would always be remembered for the amazing Blues fans who partied and sang throughout the defeat and rightly confirming them as "The best fans in the country".

In an emotional fairwell, Steve Tilson says goodbye to the Blues to take up his post as the full time assistant manager for the England Under 21 Side alongside the returning u/21 manager Peter Taylor. He passes the first team reigns to the management duo of Brushy and Tilly's prodical son Adam Barratt.

However, this was the Second Wembley appearance of the season for Steve Tilson's Blues after winning the Final of the re-formed Anglo Italian Cup. The Cup was won against all odds in a 2-1 Victory of Paolo Maldini's AC Milan (Relegated the year before for match fixing). A free-kick Double from Club Captain Johnny Herd cancels out the early strike from Brazilian wonderkid Pato

Well that or what Sussex Said ;-)
 
This day in five years' time we'll be celebrating winning the Champions League for the second season in a row, defeating Barcelona 1-0 thanks to captain Barrett coming off the bench to power home a bullet header in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

It goes without saying that the Prem, Carling Cup, Club World Champs, Community Shield, Super Cup and FA Cup would already be in the bag.

Septuplet anyone!?!?! :D
 
I will take a mid-table finish in The Championship, with an average attendance somewhere around the 13,000-14,000 mark, in our award winning arena, that generates one of the best atmospheres in the U.K.
