speaking to Lakey years ago, he said Hendry wasn't popular in dressing room with a lot of players, Lakeys words he said whenever someone made a mistake Hendry would point it out to KippaxThe Colin Hendry situation was a weird one, always looked a superb CB yet Reid could not wait to get rid of him.
He then went to Blackburn and was outstanding.
Fair enough, great CB though.speaking to Lakey years ago, he said Hendry wasn't popular in dressing room with a lot of players, Lakeys words he said whenever someone made a mistake Hendry would point it out to Kippax
What mistakes have they made about these transfers?But they are.
Boards do review their actions and learn from possible mistakes btw.
That was Boxing Day 1981, mate.And top on Boxing day after his wonder goal at Maine Rd (Wolves?)

We were comfortably mid-table when John Bond resigned in January ‘83 though.
he was, and definitely a fans favouriteFair enough, great CB though.
Well obviously this one IMO!What mistakes have they made about these transfers?
No one could of predicted how well Arsenal have started this season (I still think they will drop off)
Is that our boards fault? No
What would you want the board to do? Not sell to other premier league clubs in case there is a small chance the buying club might be above us in the table halfway through the season? That's not going to happen
Indeed. We’d slid from 4th to 15th the season before, but it took another decade just to get back back up to 5th.That was bloody criminal and along with other crazy decisions at that time led to our huge demise that has taken us decades to recover from.
I just miss perving at his Mrs tbh :(Zinchenko talked about growing up as an Arsenal fan when he left. Said that's why he left for them.
Pep's always said 'any player can leave if they don't want to be here'.
He wanted out!
Like others have said not replacing him with a suitable option is more damning.
BUT as we know we won't buy just for the sake of it.
It was. Was in the North Stand for that so at the ‘wrong end’. It was an otherwise terrible game iirc, much like the game against Notts County that Jim Melrose scored an even better goal. Pretty sure Big Joe was penalised for carrying the ball out of the area in the Wolves game when kicking it out. Was spotted by an ‘eagle eyed‘ lineman iirc.Fair enough, some goal though
