RoadRunnerFan Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 Sorry interpreted 'glad we did it' as the 'glad we had the good times' rather than 'glad we had a go at getting back'. Which we did from a wage spend point of view - just wasted it on shite - whole period was a farce. Quote

Whitestar Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 Never really had any beef with any of our ex players, can't really think of many who thought they were bigger than the club. Just got thinking, what ever happened to Nigel reo coker???? He had a decent season,,, Actually, is it just me or, has every Nigel you have very met been a dickhead or a loser???? Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 (edited) Was at uni with a Nigel. He was very odd but in a perfectly pleasant way. He turned orange too, bit like Trump. Edited January 5, 2024 by Tonge moor green jacket Quote

He activated a release clause in his contract almost immediately after relegation Seemingly, he later realised he'd been too hasty because I remember Zat Knight testing the waters for his return in the BN a couple of weeks afterwards Wikipedia tells me he eventually became a journeyman in Canada and the US before retiring Quote

We were like a drunk lottery winner trying to recapture pissed up the wall winnings. The Dougie Freedman era sealed the deal and nearly saw the death of us forever... ....that era was always going to come after the heights we had been. If I hadn’t seen such riches I could live with being poor Quote

Ricketts' ego ballooned after playing 45 minutes for England. Don't think he scored for us again after that, and looked like he wanted/deserved to be elsewhere. Although my memory has probably exaggerated it. Edited January 5, 2024 by Cheese Quote

Big sam said as soon as he got that England call up that was it. His agent was all over the show. Had the chance of going Spurs but his agent said he could get more waiting. Didnt he go for £3.5m? Madness. For that short spell he was like a prime Drogba. Quote

No one could handle him for a spell Quote
Johnnyrotten Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 This is definitely the least transfer gossipy transfer gossip thread since the last 2 months of the August one. Quote
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 Unstoppable at his best The cunt didn't hesitate to milk his goal celebration against us on the final day though Quote

Problem is he club doesn't seem to leak anymore and no-one in this place seems to no owt either. Wasn't it Tyldesley White who claimed to have a source in the club? Probably all for the best, but not fun. Quote

Pretty spot on , I think he scored 4 or 5 goals in the December before he left in the January IIRC Quote

gonzo Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 He knew he was getting taken off at half time for Darius Vasel before the game. 45 mins to make your mark as a lone striker. No good that. Quote

I recall Allardyce getting very animated by it & when it was clear he was going Sam determined that wherever he went it was NOT going to be Spurs. Quote
