Gardner..saying nice things about us on Twitter

[JOLovegrove]

I hope there is no booing, not every player that wears the mighty blue and white stripes can be on the same status as Calderon, Ulloa or Obika.

 

[Stat Brother]

Dear god can this place get any more metrosexual?

He's a former player who was shitehouse, previously that was enough to induce 90 minutes of booing, catcalls, and poking fun.
Said player has a blinder and cups his ear when smashing one in from 30 yards, and the cycle begins again.

That pantomime is the whole bloody point of going to football.

Now we have to put up with:-
'well it wasn't my little Tarquin's fault, the teacher was clearly picking on him'.
'My innocent Princess Tabitha likes to express herself while eating her mung bean salad, there's no need to be nasty'.

I guess we could all sit in silence instead.

Sorry if it's fixtures, but Gardner has said how he is looking forward returning Saturday

Top people there, fans, players and staff.

Aaaah.

I'm looking forward to his return to the Amex too. Just hope he plays the same for Forest as he did when he was playing for us.

Silly to have beef with Gardner . Hypia pretty much had every player under performing , it became fashionable to dislike Gardner but he did chip In a couple of goals . His time here was 5 or 6 / 10 . We've had far far worse

Exactly. Name any player that played to his full potential during Hyypia's reign. More to the point, think of the number of players that have improved since his departure.

No pantomime is complete without a pantomime villain. Not sure Gardner fills that role though really. Let's hope the ref is a cvnt.

Clearly GG isn't the villian, which makes him all the more ideal too poke fun at.
Some of the stuff on here is just so far removed from actually going to football.
We should be relishing Gary's return, not running away from it.

Give him stick and then watch him score.
That's football, hopefully we can all make some money the fact along the way.

There was a point when he scored and I thought he was going to grow into the sort of influential player his brother is for the other Albion. He has the talent but, at least for us, didn't apply it consistently. Maybe it was the Hyppia-factor?
Odds-on to knock one in on Saturday.

 

[Hotchilidog]

I'm indifferent to Gardner, however since he has been nice on twitter I will certainly not give a negative reaction. Fair play to him, seems a decent lad.

 

[Stat Brother]

With Skybet he's 12/1 FGS, 12/1 LGS, 9/2 anytime, 33/1 brace and 150/1 for a hattrick.

TBH I'm going across the board I've never been so sure of a player scoring than Gardener tomorrow.

All 3 of his league goals have come at The Amex. He scored on his debut for Coventry against us at the Amex, it was actually the second goal of the game but, as the first was a Richard Keogh own goal, it would have paid out as FGS (own goals don't normally count in that market). He then scored for us against Wigan and Blackburn both times it was the first goal of the game.

Clearly he's going to score tomorrow.

 

[Easy 10]

I won't be giving him pelters. But he and JFC formed one of the LIMPEST central-midfield partnerships in recent memory, which is a big factor why we are currently looking over our shoulders nervously. Not the ONLY factor of course, but a big one.

I can remember the despondency setting in each week as the teamsheet came out, seeing those two starting. Again, and again, and again. Thankfully he's moved on and we have time to repair the damage, but can you just imagine where we'd be now if those two had still been in our MF since Hyypia slung his hook ?

*shudder*

Yep have now done the bet.
Because I yearn for a £2000 road bike, I've dropped the 9/2 anytime bet in favour of:-

GG FGS & Albion win 4-3 @ 2000/1

We'd also be four points worse off and in the relegation zone without his goals...

Not saying he was anything other than distinctly average at best, but he still played an alarmingly important role in securing what before his loan expired and Hughton arrived amounted to a FIFTH of our points total

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

Only JCLs hate Gardner

I'm a JCL and I thought he did OK under the circumstances. Don't generalise!

I think that's being generous. A couple of scruffy close-range goals, whilst valuable at the time, were hardly something any half-decent player in his position wouldn't have tucked away. His contribution to the overall malaise in our midfield by then would have proved far more costly were he and JFC continued to be our CM pairing much longer over the course of this season. We'd already be bottom 3 right now, I have no doubt of that.

 

[El Turi]

Did he touch the ball today? It says a lot about us that we lost to a team with him in the side.

 

[Napier's Knee]

Not sure if he touched the ball but in second half definitely made a meal of an 'injury' in front of East Stand. Glad we won't see him again.

 

[Stat Brother]

The first ever game at the AMEX he didn't shoot.
I should have put money on him scoring every week.
I could have saved the start of our season.


Certainly no love lost between GG Bruno and Calde.

Shadowed Tex for a lot of the game

He deflected the ball in from Dunk for our first goal.
