Optimistic Nut

Will get slated, but thank f*ck Bramble & Babayaro are nearly back. Crap, but still better than Ramage & Huntington.

Wasn't that Fulham? The Fulham 4-1 was when Crossley had a blinder, although I think the Villa match was 0-3. That's the one. The Fulham one was just a freak result. We battered them. The Villa one is what I meant.

As with the Villa 0-3 from 2 years ago, this for me is the reality check.

I can never remember them playing as poorly as that. Solano & Huntington have done a job, but the fact we've been scoring goals has hidden the fact we've been leaking them for fun.

But for some reason people would still sooner them ahead of those two.

This game reminds me of the Villa 4-1 from 2 years ago but without the fisty cuffs. Fans were starting to get behind the manager at the time after an impressive run (think it was 1 defeat in 12 or something before that Villa match), then bang, reality check.

And over a run of 10-15 games, no way in the f*ck are Solano & Huntington better full-backs than Carr & Babayaro. 16 goals conceded in our last 6 games. What a joke.

Given - 5 Solano - 3 Huntington - 3 Taylor - 3 Ramage - 2 Milner - 4 Pattison - 3 (O'Brien - 3) Dyer - 5 Butt - 4 Sibierski - 4 Martins - 4

Hopefully this will see an end to the cretins who say Ramage is a good defender. What a sticky pile of wanksplat he is.

Actually, it's scary to think that 2 of that side that finished mid-table in the old-old Second Division were regulars in our squad last season, and the 'keeper has played for us this year too.

I posted that before I saw that he played for Boro clue. http://www.toonstats.homestead.com/decades.html Using that though, there's no trace of Windass scoring against us!

When did he score against us at St James' Park in 1991?

Don Goodman definitely scored against us that season for WBA and was born in Leeds...but at The Hawthorns.

Hopefully Jade fucking Goody will fall back into obscurity now never to be seen again.

Aye, Dave Watson.

I preferred this post when it was in the Tottenham thread. (nope not John Barnes) I played against the country that capped me in 1996.

I made my international debut in the Maracana in 1984.

Which explains why his biggest ever signing in his career was a 21 year old Nigerian bought from Italy.

Well considering the Chronicle had us believe we tried signing Knight & Neill on deadline day in August, you'd have thought we'd have been front-runners now...not just considering yet another f*cking late bid.

I was 5, it was Newcastle v Ipswich, we won 2-1 through two Mick Quinn goals. I can remember it because it was the unveiling of the Milburn Stand and Jackie's wife officially opened it.

Spurs have made a £5m bid for Heinze according to The Sun. We should be straight in for him.

I actually think we'll lose on penalties tomorrow after a 1-1 draw.
