This. Barnes was a rich man's Gary Hart IMO- would run through brick walls for the team and his technical ability was seriously underrated. On the rare occasions he played with Vicente, he seemed to be one of the few players who was anywhere near the same wavelength.

He's just come in- have whacked my headphones on in a vain attempt to drown out his noise...

Closest one for me would be El-Abd but that's scraping the barrel a bit.

There's a bloke who sits just in front of my bank of desks at work. He is LITERALLY about 75 years old. Every lunchtime he whacks his feet up on the desk and has an afternoon snooze for about an HOUR after his lunch- and every day I genuinely think he has snuffed it. He is also considerably deaf...

I think a few posters have missed the subtle analogy used by the OP.....

Sounds like a case for Gordon Ramsey! (Or maybe Tony Pulis?!)

True, but if a chunk of our loanees go back in Jan and new players are signed to replace them it will inevitably cause upheaval and take some time for the team to get used to playing with each other.

If, as it seems is the case, the board are going to give Sami a wedge to spend in Jan to try and turn things round, the danger for me is that we could be dangerously adrift by that point. I can see us losing to Wolves, Reading and Fulham, meaning it could nearly be too late by the time the...

We really need a Charlie Oatway type player in midfield. Someone who is vocal, leads the team and is not afraid to get stuck in. I remember the season we stayed up under McGhee, he was injured for a fair while at the start of the season and helped us battle to safety when he came back.

Wrong Diarra.

I LOVE this thread. My missus regularly tells me off for these exact type of moans. I will show her I'm not the only one...

Groupon?

This.

I miss El-Abd and his cheeky antics.

I remember being quite excited by Livermore and Mcleod signing- shows how much I know!

Pretty sure Whing was permanent then as well as Jarrett (short term contract if I remember right) And you're correct with your edit I think- sure they were both on a permanent deal

Hate turkey. Will either do a nice bit of roast lamb or possibly beef.

Can't believe no one has suggested Zamora yet? Or has that one finally died a death...

Sounds great, my parents live in Battle so would be very local for them. She is not particularly artistic so sounds perfect for her!

That looks excellent, may well buy one for my Mum for Xmas.
