  1. See also those daft across the nose things in the 90s
  2. With that tache he Reminds me of a ww2 fighter pilot who forgot to Breelcream
  3. It’s a squad game. Don’t think he was ever bought as a replacement.
  4. Hopefully the unbelievers will soon be convinced
  5. Loved him to bits but Cole, Akinbiyi, Abraham even Kodja scored more goals at Championship level for us and surely were simply better players?
  6. Life’s rich tapestry / everyone’s entitled to their opinion. No really they are. But the 27 likes and rising for the post suggest to me the silent majority are nodding sagely at their screens once again.
  7. I’m not convinced he’s some sort of number 10; he’s not super creative or a regular scorer. But a bit deeper and he’s a monster.
  8. MM love your optimism - see also the ‘best we’ve ever played’ thread. But I think there’s the tiniest chance of rose tinted glasses on both threads
  9. Watching ‘online’ and he was immaculate. Including
  10. He actually does a bit of research, is articulate and doesn’t unnecessarily hype the merely good. Low bar but he easily clears it.
  11. Never confused. He is mind.
  12. Thought on a few occasions he looked very rusty but boy did I like the positive intent! Not knocking George to be clear.
  13. And then throw in 4 games in 11 days which must cause a bit of lethargy, when speed of thought and movement are the things needed to break down packed defences. And absolutely, this is still really Nige’s team which was set up to be pacy and counter attacking.
  14. So to check - not just for outside the UK - anyone can buy?
  15. Similar to that Norwich goal. I think his biggest issue remains concentration (just occasionally) which used to be his big issue (regularly). That said most of the time now he looks like a Rolls Royce.
  16. Went to Millwall 20 off years ago and had to sit in the main stand as the City end was all ticket. City go 2-0 up in the second half and the away end are reminding Millwall of the score. The chap behind me then gets up and shouts at the away end…… ’Why don’t you all **** off back up north’! i didn’t feel like giving him a geography lesson tbh.
  17. All tactics aside it seems to me that the franchise’s fall from grace last season wasn’t an uncommon scenario, in that teams who lose in the play offs often have a lag at the start of the next season. Now you can argue about how long it should happen for and whether the manager takes some blame, but the point is it does happen. I guess it’s part the difficulty of getting yourself to ‘go again’, plus sometimes players are sold off if promotion doesn’t happen so the team weakens. And I acknowledge that yes it isn’t guaranteed and there are plenty of clubs who still do well the following season.
  18. Well he ain’t the reason we’re losing so ‘killing us’ is a touch dramatic, no?
  19. No we’re being pushed back by a decent side who were in the Prem last year, who have scored a fabulous goal from a guy who has been in England squads
