Who could afford 500 grand a week?!

Not us. We don’t go below £900,000 a week for strikers apparently.

Will never forgive Keegan for that me as I'm sure many others won't neither.

I think KK did worse with replacing the Goat with Fowler , signing Mills and McPointy as well but he also signed Ali, what an exciting team we were back in them days. (Not Fowler, Pointy or Mills by the way).

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Who - twatty?

We are so far past needing cast off's, it's not even worth the agro.

As a fan base we should never compromise........... ;-)

In his time is what I said.
He might have been a rag but the only way we could ever stop him was with cynical fouls from Michael Ball etc.
I totally agree we don’t need has beens but lets recognise what he has achieved in the game.

Still tainted goods ;-)

I still smile at the thought of Rio and GPC phoning Ronaldo to beg him not to go to City.

We have once again fucked the rags transfer plans and caused disharmony amongst the ranks. The list of players we have now screwed them with must be into double digits.

City, you devise bastard. All part of the masterplan… -:)

Fowler was a bad move over the goat deffo,although I did enjoy his celebration when he scored against the rags,as for the other 2 mentioned,well best not :)

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

He was a fucking amazing player in his time as you all well know. If Pep wanted him then that was good enough for me, if Pep didn’t then he can go get fucked, see it is all down to Pep.
I remember when Keegan signed Peter Schmeichal , I was dead against that. He cheered when we put 3 past the swamp dwellers. He didn’t do too bad in his short time with us.

Schmeichel Senior was more than decent for us, far better than his replacement Seaman and many of our 'keepers of that era.

The Fowler signing also led to Bernstein stepping down as chairman, who'd done a good job stabilising the club

 

[dickie davies]

I remember last summer when I tried to remind everyone what a huge fucking error signing him would be - yes, I feel Big and clever........ ;-)

Get your fucking hands off me you pervert

Blobby Fowlup was a complete waste of money that could have been much better spent elsewhere, most notably on Daniel van Buyten.

Keegan's obsession with Fowler was a major factor in David Bernstein leaving his position as our chairman and is up,there with Alan Kernaghan.

 

[ninjamonkey]

I can't actually believe he's still being backed. I liken it to having a cheating partner who makes no effort to even hide what they're upto anymore just waiting for you to throw them out but for some reason they refuse.

I hope he stays there for years to come yet.

Whilst true, there’s not much chance that DVB would have stayed with us very long. He was too good for us back then.

I can’t disagree, but we would probably have made a good profit, when he moved on, which is more than we did with Fowler.

I must confess, I loved Fowler as a player and was gutted that he came to us when he was finished because of his hip.

He was an amazing goal scorer.

Another bit of shite business by us back then.

At least the last 10 years have made our nostalgia whimsical rather than still angry at how shit our decision making was back then!

Possibly the best finisher ever in the Premier League, He was lethal on front of goal when a chance came his way he was very much nailed on to score.

I wasn't happy when we signed him and wasn't impressed by him when he was with us, Always got the impression he didn't want to be at City plus himself and Anelka hated eachother.

The penalty miss against Middlesbrough still annoys me just because how well we played for months before that game it was a hell of a run to even get in the position we got in.

 

[Barcon]

When my Dad was dying in hospital I said to him, "We're signing Robbie Fowler".
He said, "Robbie Fowler? Fuck off"

Was that a "fuck off and you serious" in a good way

Or

"Fuck Off not that fat ****"

:)

Did he ever write sermons for a certain religious leader too?

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

I knew they’d be there or thereabouts this season.

I got laughed at but they’ve improved big time.

And the luck is back with them. The stuffy bastards.

Casemiro is a game changer. No Glazers outs from them now though, the spoilt cunts.

Couldn’t handle them winning the league. Hopefully a bridge too far at this point.
