how very dare you diss kuqi?he was magnificent(sometimes),what would you give to have him up front now

the only time we ever looked under pressure was 15 minutes from the restart,leicester were bombarbing us with long balls up to the lanky ***** ian ormandroyd(who made peter crouch seem small)moran and hendry were immense for that period,after that we saw the game out well,we were all nervous considering what had happened in the previous play off debacles,tbh i thought we were under more pressure at derby in the semi`s,they threw everything at us and they were a far better side than leicester,we were watching on the big screen at ewood and it was truly painfull,they should have let speedie chin that yob at the end as well?

used to be buzzing when milan were going deep in the champions league,i remember utd getting completely outplayed by an inspired kaka one year?even fergie could`nt use one of his ****** excuses for that one

italians officials have confirmed that the iconic san siro can be demolished to make way for a new stadium another corporate bowl no doubt and another iconic venue bulldozed,after the mess they made of the maracana,hampden park and the overblown cost of building a new wembley,sadly we will soon be left with only memories,only the upcoming economic slump can save us from the corporate behamoth

Derbyshire's cock up against City sealed his fate with Big Sam. Anybody that brain dead shouldn't have been playing Premier League football. i`ll always hold derbyshire in high record for cooly finishing off newcastle at st james park in the last minute of a game they absolutely dominated,bentley lobbed it over their pushed up defence and matty drew the keeper and put it in the bottom corner!!!!!!!!!f*****k fantastic,the geordies were devasted?

dunnys england career was doomed from the start unfortunately,succesive england managers had an erection for lampard and gerrard in the middle of the pitch,to such an extent,even a world class player like scholes was shifted out to the flanks,simply no room for dunn especially as he did`nt play for one of the chosen few clubs,i agree he should have won more than 1 measly cap,but plenty of others who should have played for england got shafted as well,how many caps did heskey get??,i could name a dozen players who never got a cap while he was stumbling about the pitch in the guise of an international

The one Keen signing I wonder what if would be Simon Vukcevic i thought watching his cameos he had undoubted ability,unfortunately it looked like he`d rather be anywhere else than east lancashire!!,on the other keen signings,formica was pretty good,just to lightweight for english football,the one i do remember who had prodigious talent was carlos villanueva,the chilean,not one to impress big sam though?

franks legs had gone by the time he signed for us,though he did manage to modify his game,he still held the ball up well and was hard to shift once he had possesion,did as well as you could expect imo,he`d had a long career at the top remember,15 seasons with man utd and arsenal,was a great player in his prime

id`e rather see football played forwards than the square passing get nowhere stuff we see these days,i don`t see the point in trying to play possesion football if you`re players ar`nt good enough to keep the ball

after a first few sticky years kendall produced one of the finest sides to ever grace english football,iv`e absolutely no doubt that kendalls everton side would have won the european cup,a pity the murderers at ***** at the other end of stanley park spoiled it,the main reason he left for bilboa as well

fantastic,many thanks for putting this up,speedie speedie speedie!!!!!!

unfortunately in the modern game a striker is expected to be able to do everything,im`e of the opinion that strikers are paid to score goals,i think jordan is seen as a bit of throwback,if he`d been around in the 80`s he`d most likely be playing in the top division,rush and lineker wer`nt complete players,they just had the nouse to sniff out opportunities in the box

you had to be there in that era to appreciate standing on the old blackburn end with a team put together on a shoestring that played good,honest attacking football,promotion might have brought a season or two in the top flight before the sky behamoth took over,in the end jack would have come on board anyway imo,he was showing interest for a couple of years beforehand,i`ve never felt so bad about a result after that palace game,devasted as i was about englands demise in the 1990 world cup,it still did`nt come close to how bad i felt about that play off

their keeper made a fantastic save from a dunnie header as well,i was disapointed not to win but not in the way we played,we were excellent against one of the best sides in the bundesliga,incidentally i remember the match was played at 5.30 pm for some reason,i was in the blackburn end,went straight from work,resplendent in overalls and flourescent jacket that stunk of diesel?

robbie slater contributed to the league title side without really being mentioned,kevin gallagher was a cracking player but never got the credit he should have,going further back in time,chris price,noel brotherston(god rest his soul) and vince o`keefe who was understudy to terry gennoe for years,despite being a very good goalie himself

i don`t want to even think about next season,it needs a complete squad rebuild and i don`t think mowbray is up to it

palace play offs away 1989,never felt so dejected ever after a match,before or since,i think it`s because palace we useless in the 1st leg and promotion looked a certainty,it was never a penalty either?

iv`e always had a soft spot for players that did **** all for 85 minutes but then changed the game with a moment of magic,wegerle was a prime example?

the replay was a fantastic game,it looked like we were getting back into it but stapleton missed the penalty,incredibly during that period,i think we missed every penalty we got for about two months,it was that bad in the end,it was rumoured they were thinking of giving the job of spot kicks to terry gennoe?,the only penalty i can remember after that mental few games is when david mail took one at stoke and his massive run up concluded with him nearly breaking the net,i can also recall the penalty was in the last minute courtesy of a ridicoulous dive by andy kennedy,the stoke fans were not amused and our exit was met with a torrent of cans and bottles

there was supposedly most of the top flight looking seriously at garner around that time,most likely the scouts saw how he lived his life and thought,**** that the guys trouble!!!!!!!!!,glad he did`nt leave,i don`t think he`d have hacked the big time,not because of lack of ability,just his lifestyle

duffs goal against birmingham in circa 2001 was pretty special,marked tightly on the edge of the box,he shuffled the ball between the two brum defenders,gave himself half a yard and smashed it in the top corner,he was unplayable that night,we should have scored a dozen and it put birmingham,who were one our promotion rivals well out of contention,they never recovered from a beating that bad and limped in the play offs only to be beaten by moyes preston

keith gillespie,on song a full backs worst nightmare,one of the most gifted players iv`e ever seen,he made the game look so easy,just a shame he did`nt have it up there in the mind dept,some days he looked like he`d rather be anywhere other than a football field

poor keith,he did take some major abuse?,honestly i though he brought it on himself by trying to be something he was`nt,in his mind he was up there with zidane,in reality he was a player from the bottom division who got lucky

think he thought he was a bit above rovers tbh and saw us as a stepping stone back to the big time though maybe if ince was`nt such a **** he might have stopped

im`e basing it on him continually disapearing,not turning up for training and genuinly being a pillock when his opinion of his own ability did`nt match his true ability,25 games in two and a half seasons says it all
