2007/2008 Season
Žižkov's first season back in the Gambrinus liga proved to be one of successful consolidation, the team finishing in a creditable 10th place, whilst also reaching the quarter final stage of the knock out cup. One of the highlights of the season was a 3-0 away win at Slavia, inflicting their only home defeat on the eventual champions. A 1-1 pre-Christmas home draw with Slavia was perhaps just as important however, the point being gained with a last minute Richard Kalod goal.
Žižkov's home form was the mainstay of their season, indeed they won 5 of their 7 post-Christmas matches. The final game of the season saw them gain a 1-0 victory over Mlada Boleslav, with another Kalod goal, thereby gaining their only double of the season, having also gained a 1-0 win against Boleslav on the opening day of the season. Top scorer for the season was Petr Švancara, who scored 6 goals.
