£1M Fee agreed for Zamora.

[Sweetie]

He looked pretty useful when playing in the lower leagues with BHA but has done nothing since joining West Ham - but then they do have Alan Pardew as manager....

He must be worth a punt for a million and if anyone can get something out of him then it will be Iain Dowie.

 

[Braders]

In fairness to Zamora, he only ever played for Albion against Palace once, didn't he? And that was in the 0-5 drubbing at Selhurst Park. Is he likely to feel the depth of the rivalry under such circumstances? And is the rivalry actually as deep as it used to be anyway?

twice , the 0-0 game aswell (i think)

 

[Stinky Kat]

It's all about the wedge.

Exactly

He was out injured then I believe.

 

[Braders]

oops

 

[Stinky Kat]

I cant remember him at the 0.5, Marney was playing though

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

The Bobster needs confidence and service. He was given both at the Albion. But it's harder the further up the Leagues you go. If anyone can - Dowie can Good luck Bobby. Just not against us.

 

[Paddy B]

Sheff United are also heavily interested and I think I heard Warnock say they had actually agreed a fee.

Zamora was up front with Barrett. Marney replaced Barrett for the last quarter of an hour.

How do you know all this stuff TLB? I wouldn't have a clue about any other teams results, player info etc. God knows how much stuff you know about Cardiff!

I'll give you a challenge; how did Cardiff do in the Welsh Cup in 1987? I want results and scorers please. I'm timing you!

86/87 or 87/88?

We won the Welsh Cup in 87/88. Beat Wrexham 2-0 in the final at the Vetch Field. Alan Curtis scored one of the goals, an absolute belter, I think Kevin Bartlett got the other.

86/87 I'm not so sure about, but we didn't win it. I think Shrewsbury did. I'm in work so I haven't got my reference books handy.

Most info, such as the Zamora stuff, is easy to find on the net. I use www.soccerbase.com for general info.

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

Aah Soccerbase! The source of much of my football knowledge as well. THE place to go when you want to find out Wolves results from 1983 to 1987.

I must have meant 1986/87. Probably was Shrewsbury, haven't they won quite a few Welsh Cups?

Once Marney came on Palace could not score any more, he really tightened it up and this was after brooker got sent off. I can remember some things. We were total toilet that day

 

[harold robbins]

I predict mass burning of blue and white tops with 25 on the back. I know this sort of shameful crossing over has happened before with players between us and Palace but I can't think of an example of one where the player is still considered a legend by a majority of the former club's fans. If true it just proves that the depth of rivalry is only really felt by fans and a tiny number of players and staff. It's all about the wedge.

Simon Rodger got a fantastic ovation when he came on as a sub for us at Selhurst. Mind you were 4 or 5 down by then so I suppose they felt sorry for him!

 

[eagles #1]

I doubt very much it'll be £1m upfront. Payed in installments, apps etc.

As some of you said if anyone can kick him into gear it's ID.

 

[bhaexpress]

According to the BBC both The Times and The Mirror say that a £1million fee has been agreed.

Steve Coppell is a legend!

It's coming back to me now. 86/87 was the season that the great Merthyr side of the mid-Eighties beat Newport County 1-0 in the final. The final was at Ninian. I can't remember who beat us though. It might have actually been Merthyr.

Merthyr beat Atalanta 2-1 at Penydarren Park in the ECWC the following season., but went out 3-2 on aggregate.

Thanks to RSSSF, THE source for all foreign football stats.

Your lot lost 1-0 to WREXHAM. You thus missed out on a quarter final clash with Brymbo Steelworks.

(Have they stopped talking about that 5-0 game yet?)

Well done Pissass posters,i'm wound up

This has the signs of either a well thought-out,orchestrated,organised wind-up assault , or .............................absolute disaster.

Why?

He left us ages ago and as far as I'm concerned he's now just one of many ex-Albion players who've moved on and when he comes up against us in the future-he'll get as much stick from me as all the other players on the opposing team..

So he might go to Phalarse? No big deal really. Think of the stick he'll get from the crowd if he doesn't do too well in his first few games.....

Personally, I no longer give a shit where he goes-I've moved on, as has he.
