I remember walking into a room with rob and some other city players as a young lad with my city autograph book on an open day and asking for his signature… scared the bejesus out of me cause he was massive!! Absolutely a club legend though, great player for us

Good luck to him, hopefully he remains in good health going forwards

Weimann is key for us and probably exceeded all expectations this season, but the reason hes not in the premier league is is his touch can be a little”loose”,, that open goal is an example of what i mean… he can finish, but that instinct doesnt come naturally. Like with someone like tammy ( different levels obviously). superb athlete though, which makes him important to us

Yes, i was in the east end bouncing with some lad i never saw before or since… that was mayhem!

That last 5 minutes is the closest i came to a heart attack,,, still get the hairs on my neck stand up when i watch the highlights on youtube

Excellent stuff… good luck and congratulations to the boy!

I think hes sat just in front!

Nice tache.

Did walsh play in a cup final in turkey?

Surely pearson, as a premier league centre back in his playing days and experienced manager ought to be having an input on how we set up defensively?

And 2 centre backs, a centre midfielder who stays fit, another right back and 2 strikers please!

How hard can it be for a championship keeper to come and sort out crosses!

Oh well…. get bentley in

Yes, im surprised at what im seeing here from us! Scott again! ?

That control then by scott!!! Zidana would be proud of that!

I suspect a lot of clubs are intending to make do with free signings over the next few years, so it should be possible to operate on that basis for a while. I would love for us to be able to shift some of the highest earners through that period, but that looks quite unlikely.

No it shouldnt carry on, get the police in to sort it out, but if you are a steward stood in that stand with 15 lads smashing up a toilet what exactly would you do

Would you have run in that toilet with 20 of those idiots smashing it up? All for a tenner an hour on a Saturday afternoon?

Completely agree, getting him to play 25 straight games isnt really an option, but having him around the squad to come in and out he is very useful to have around

Yeah, horrific injury, and jiminez at wolves last year. Their injuries were skull fractures, which bakers wasnt as far as we know,,, i assume baker and specialists have been all over invesitgating this

If you check my initial thoughts on bakinson which you quoted above, the way i replied was entirely respectful of your view and gave my opinion on why i thought he wasnt a disgrace…. Hes not a disgrace,, he clearly is a talented ball player in a team where not many players are very good with the ball… box to box power house of a midfielder he aint, in a decent team who can keep possession he would probably show up pretty well. I have since had you quoting it back at me several times on several different threads… but now you take offence at the way people dismiss your thoughts? to be honest, the subject of bakinson and your opinion of him is of relatively little consequence to my life, and doesn’t warrant any more of my time

I believe everything i said about him is accurate. you are a sad little ***** arent you

Just seen a thread along these lines on social media, so thought i would a thread on here to take us down memory lane! Ive been watching since the 80s so missed the 70s glory days, but based on what ive seen since id go with: basso, webster, brownhill, jacki and cole. obviously gow and atyeo would come into the reckoning, but i never saw them play! any alternatives? Im sure there are a lot im missing, like tammy, bryan, newman, walsh, taylor etc etc?!

Theres no doubt that brighton and brentford are the 2 clubs that we need to be emulating, but the way we are run has been a shambles,,, so many clubs have got to the top flight, who in theory are similar in size to us, but we are miles away. Its good to see though that clubs can do it and be successful, it ought to give us something to aspire to!

At the risk of this being a “whooosh” comment,,, he was taken to hospital twice in a month with serious head injuries and hasnt been near the playing squad since and nige has confirmed he wont play again this season….
