No, he was massively overrated. At the same time, Keith Andrews was massively underrated. Maybe that's clearer now that both Ince and Forster-Caskey are playing League 1 football. No offence to either, good honest professionals who were part of a team which finished in the top 6 but individually...
Do you genuinely believe that March is "probably more capable" than Knockaert?
If so, that's the biggest overstatement in the long and varied history of North Stand Chat.
The nature of true, dyed in the wool football support is that your love for your team is unconditional. You'll keep coming back, week in week out, regardless of what you are served up. My God, we've done just that over the years. But when those good times come around they are so much the sweeter...
The atmosphere in the South Stand was toxic that day. The team was a mess, the squad was struggling and Micky Adams had lost control. Murray stopped chasing Delph, he wasn't fit enough and wouldn't have got there anywhere so Fraser gave him a shove, they had a row and someone pulled Fraser away...
Cross of the decade from Ashley Barnes to set it up as well, but that bit is best kept quiet from all those who doubted Barnes' technical prowess. Not to mention the fact that Barnes himself had scored our first.
Ulloa had a goal disallowed as well. Special team that Poyet 12/13 squad.
Not picking who I think Hyypia will go for, but who I would pick.
Stockdale
Bruno Greer Dunk Bennett
Holla Forster-Caskey
Colunga Teixeira Mackail-Smith
Baldock
Subs
Walton, Hughes, Chicksen, Crofts, Gardner, LuaLua, O'Grady
I'm looking forward to the game today. It's a shame we didn't have this squad in place for the Sheffield Wednesday game, but I think we can all appreciate how difficult it is getting in the players that you want. Having now signed Colunga, Baldock and Holla we have covered all the bare...
He is a very accomplished and gifted goalkeeper. I like his confidence and I like his self belief, and I also like that he rarely leaves himself exposed through poor positioning or not reading the game well. I have him down as being a step up from Kuszczak.
I don't understand how a grown adult with anything more than ordinary intelligence can stomach watching a programme so miserably watered down since the departure of Christopher Ecclestone, it's now purely a children's programme.
And now we have decided that, even though a lot of business is still to be completed, we want to abandon our intention to be prudent, sensible and organised to appease the section of supporters (acting like customers rather than fans at the moment) who post on North Stand Chat.
.... so what? Why do you feel this deserves a new topic? It really doesn't. Who cares what other clubs do, their business is irrelevant and uninteresting.
