May 24, 201214 yr When Okocha came back from the African Nations with his new mini afro look hairdo, he got some form back and played very well in thaat period, he and Vaz Te impressed together in the same team. it was all down to the 'fro.
May 24, 201214 yr it was all down to the 'fro. Torres got his form back when he went back to having blonde streaks.
May 24, 201214 yr In fairness, Okocha's talent was wasted by Allardyce. Turned him into a no-frills chucking machine. Very sad. Whereas before he was seen as a wasted talent and not a team player. Incidentally on the age thing. He started in the third tier of the German league system. He may not have been 17, but he certainly wasn't 27. My understanding is that he was about 4 years older than claimed - and that when this came to light it was a material factor in not retaining him (but I could be wrong).
May 24, 201214 yr Apart from the fact Faye is still playing, and performing very well in the division we'll be playing next season. Really? He only started 25 out of 46 last season, he'll turn 35 next season, and he isn't going to 'do a job' in midfield anymore. It would be a ridiculous signing.
May 24, 201214 yr ?It was a sad season for Bolton but it was bound to happen. ?When you don?t spend or invest in the future, you can't always get away with it. Nail on the head.The clubs who stay in the Premier League long term all spend money. Really !?!
May 25, 201214 yr I cant fault the sentiment in what JJ says but if only it really was that simple! Four consecutive top eight finishes, and two European adventures, I dont think that will ever be bettered by BWFC.
May 25, 201214 yr Really? He only started 25 out of 46 last season, he'll turn 35 next season, and he isn't going to 'do a job' in midfield anymore. It would be a ridiculous signing. The majority of West Ham fans are sorry to see him go - usually a good indication of how a player has performed. Whether or not you agree with if he'd be a good signing, it certainly wouldn't be "ridiculous".
May 25, 201214 yr Putting transfer budgets aside the fact still remains that coyle can't manage the players he has at his disposal. This "drop a league to rebuild" spiel is just defeatist bullshit Is it easier to rebuild with less money, less pull and less fans???

May 26, 201214 yr It's OK Fresh in the memory If you have memory of our European tours.... You didn't do them right
May 27, 201214 yr A last word on Jay-Jay's age, this is a teammate of his - they won the gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics. Sunday Oliseh is 37 years old... Fucking stressful paper-rounds in downtown Lagos...
