Guest alex Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'd say you're spot on, apart from the bit about Viana. No way was he cut out for the PL. He hasn't done much since leaving either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 There's not half a chance our current lot is anywhere near as good as Robson's side, man. Solano alone was probably a better player half the cloggers in our midfield now and that's before mentioning Robert on a good day and Speed. Shearer and Bellamy was a much more effective partnership than Owen+ another too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I was convinced after the Juve game Bramble had turned the corner. His performance that game was fucking outstanding. I'm really struggling to think of a better one by a defender in the B&W shirt over recent years. The Feyenoord game ws a killer. I nearly hit the roof when Bellamy scored with the last kick. I had a huge grin on my face for days afterwards. And need I remind you all of that game in the San Siro where Inter cheated their way to a 2-2 draw. IIRC a win in that game and we'd have had a brilliant chance of going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC a win in that game and we'd have had a brilliant chance of going through. Can't remember him being particularly immense in the Juve game. Maybe he was, but I can't recall it. For me it was the San Siro game where he had Vieri gift-wrapped in his pocket for the entire game, apart from the one time he got away and scored a header. Thought that if he could keep one of the best strikers at home so well marshalled except for one small lapse of concentration, then he'd be fine in the prem...... unfortunately it became a recurrent theme. Interestingly i both martins and emre played for inter in that one as well................ for the cheating bastards!!!!!!! Still was so proud at that 2-2 performance, one of our finest ever against all odds/referee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still was so proud at that 2-2 performance, one of our finest ever against all odds/referee Conceição was the main culprit when it came to cheating. I can remember him going down after a nothing challenge, rolling a for a few feet and ending off the pitch the rolling back on the pitch and then falling of the stretcher when they put him on it.

IIRC a win in that game and we'd have had a brilliant chance of going through. I had the Mirror's headline 'The San Shearo' and the pic of Shearer up on my wall at uni. I can also vaguely recall a lot of dipper fans complaining after the 3rd game that we were a complete embarrassment to English football, then we qualified and they got knocked out (although I could be making that last bit up) edit - I was right!
