Thank you for restoring order :), was becoming like a memory lane thread

 

[kaz7]

that was before the recent game wasnt it

Day before yesterday i think

 

[BufordUSABlue]

I think he made a couple of decent saves, think we won, it was at home, but can't remember the opposition?

Walsall away i seem to remember, but i mostly watched the game through one eye in a drunken stupor, due to some extremely heavy pre-match drinking :-(

Quinny went in the nets at home once, saving a Dean Saunders penalty as his first touch!! He was a decent keeper was Quinny, which was down to his Gaelic football days when he was younger..

He definitely went in goal at Maine Road one game, I was in the kippax, was to young to do aways on my own, was only a kid.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Phelan and Curle would have been absolutely blinding in this team.

Are you sure it wasn't the Quinny game ?

He did and it's bugging me now because I can't remember who it was against either.

Googled it, Watford. '82/83

Can’t believe no one has mentioned Ben Thatcher!! You couldon’t say he wasn’t following his manager’s instructions to “get stuck in!!”

 

[chesterbells]

Andy Hinchliffe was a really good footballer who would have been an international fixture if he had played for Arsenal or Liverpool or the rags

He’s soured his reputation with us since he left. That aside, each to their own mate, but I thought as a player he was absolutely average.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Stephen Jordan could have been as good as Javier Garrido.

Respect your opinion but I can’t think of a left back who has been better since..

It was newly promoted Watford at home early season. Corrigan knocked out after diving at someone’s feet. Bobby Mac kept a clean sheet and we won 1-0.
Walsall away was Gleghorn I think, also Palace at home same season

Yeah, I mean as discussed on here, there’s been a real dearth of talent in that position, relatively, over the years. I reckon Clichy at the very least was a cut above him.

Kolarov was/is a better player. If he had played for us during our relegation battle or mid table mediocrity days, he would have stood out as one of our best players. Kolarov was a very good player, who gave his absolute all for us. Unfortunately every generation needs a boo boy and some of our idiotic fans decided to take it out on Kolarov, even though they had never had it so good.

Except for that header for the 5 goal ;)

 

[higgi1p]

So having done a history lesson in left backs !!!!
Dare I ask ANY TRANSFER NEWS?

Never a big Kolarov fan but he was better than the current versions of Mendy and Zinchenko. It's not even close, tbh,

We have struggled for LBs for years. It's a bloody curse, I tell thee.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Clichy was better than Kolarov. He was awesome in our first PL win.

 

[RayCTID]

Clichy was better than Kolarov. He was awesome in our first PL win.

Although Kolarov was the better attacker.
