March 19, 20179 yr There's not many people I would wish an horrific injury on Jonny Evans is on the list though. I hope he snaps every ligament in both legs and it gets infected during surgery and he wakes up during surgery and feels every slice of the scalpel the filthy red cunt
March 19, 20179 yr The day the downward spiral started. Think we've bottomed out, we've got some of those who sacked us off when we were shit coming back now we are winning again... *Cough* anewman *cough*
March 19, 20179 yr I was watching that game in those shitty glass fronted boxes behind the away fans. When they scored I stormed off in a huff to the bogs and on coming back there was a black bloke at the bar in the corridor they service the boxes from. He was celebrating too much for my liking so I thought I would give him a smack then carry on walking out of the ground, even more so when I realized it was Andy Cole. As I approached him I remembered I was representing the company and would probably be looking for a new job from Monday and that Andy Cole is quite a bit bigger than you imagine. I suspect he doesn't know what a lucky escape he had that day
March 19, 20179 yr So fucking annoying that we were robbed of such a talented player, even worse when Holden seems such a good, genuine bloke. He didn't deserve to have his career taken away by a shithouse like that. Why did something like that never happen to a cunt like John Aldridge or Robbie Savage?! No justice
March 19, 20179 yr He wished Evans a happy anniversary on Twitter today. Glad to see he's moved on. I haven't.
March 20, 20179 yr I dont think so, he's spoke in the past about not being bitter towards him He's just creating a positive public image so that on the day Evans gets sniped he's blame free.
March 20, 20179 yr He's just creating a positive public image so that on the day Evans gets sniped he's blame free. This haha
March 20, 20179 yr I knew at the time it was a disaster, he was the closest to a one man team we've ever had. Okocha was a better player but Sam was a better manager who would have coped without losing JJ as much.Earlier that season Holden ran Newcastle ragged when we battered them 5-1 and the next home without Holden, Blackpool dominated Muamba and Mark Davies and we scraped a draw, the next home game Holden is back and scores the winner against Blackburn. it's very early days but it could be argued that Morais is the most important midfield player we've had since Holden, he has transformed our season in a positive way no other midfielder since Holden has.
March 20, 20179 yr pointless debate but ive got time re the blackpool game if we had won that game 10-2, blackpool couldnt have complained their keeper played out of his skin and both blackpool goals were headers from corners holden and muamba together were fantastic as has become apparent, any fcuking dick could build a team and get results with those two many could achieve something with one of em

I can still remember me and my brother being a tad disgruntled at their keeper time wasting, much to the pleasure of those around us - not Also the first game I remember thinking 'why am I getting stared at for showing passion as a fan? Top tier N stand!

He must've been dicking about with the middle two a lot at the time as davies and holden started v blackburn and muamba only came on when davies got sent off, then both muamba and holden score I can see where this thread is going Over to gonzo
March 20, 20179 yr Shouldn't of been playing that day. Semi final two week's later. Away game very unlikely get something in. Focus on cup. Rest best players. Cost us best played and ultimately more. Not hindsight said it at time and would do same if got to a semi again. Pick your battles

Not hindsight said it at time and would do same if got to a semi again. Pick your battles Of all the things to criticise Coyle for, playing Holden in that game is not one. We were still well placed in the league at that point with all to play for.

March 20, 20179 yr Of all the things to criticise Coyle for, playing Holden in that game is not one. We were still well placed in the league at that point with all to play for. And didn't we only lose 1-0 to a late goal? Probably wouldn't have lost if Evans hadn't assaulted him.
March 20, 20179 yr And didn't we only lose 1-0 to a late goal? Probably wouldn't have lost if Evans hadn't assaulted him. Correct. Berbatov IIRC. I'm a #shifan and didn't go, but every account of the game I heard had Holden bossing it until he was knobbled. Edited March 20, 20179 yr by RoadRunnerFan
March 20, 20179 yr Holden & Muamba were unreal for the most part of that season. They were like two Kante's with the way they were covering so much ground. Incredible while it lasted. They also massively covered up the lack of tactical nous that Coyle had. If only we'd sacked him after Swansea away.
Stuart Holdens football career ended at OT.
