Worst XI since the takeover?

We're not really here said:
I used to love the 'good in the air' line that the 'experts' used to trot out every time we played. This is despite there ever being any evidence of it actually being true!

2 lads who sat behind me used to call him French Tony, as soon as he fucked up yet another header, one would say almost without failing, 'being asked to header a ball is much like making love to a beautiful woman' and there would be a chuckle from all of us sitting around there. It was all part of what is now called, the match day experience at the time. Certainly more entertaining than Hugh Ferris or whatever cheese that is trotted out these days.
 
Paul Lake's Left Knee said:
Who can forget his stunning loan spell under Alan fucking Ball. I wish I could. To think that **** fucked off Paul Walsh for fuck all to Pompey (ie Gerry Creaney) and yet thought getting Ekulund instead was a good idea. Fucking hell.

I remember buying the marketing bandwagon at the time... He played us a few years earlier if I remember rightly, may of been a friendly. He ripped Andy hill and I thought 'there's a player' lol... It's amazing what goes through your head when your hear 'Barcelona' and omit the 'b'... Bag of shite..

Wayne Clarke, now there was a striker!!!
 
Who remembers Lee Bradbury (The next Alan Shearer)? Paid something daft like 3 Mil back in 96ish for him.

You've got a thing for the Waynes today. Biggins played a part in our promotion team in 88/89 under Machin but was gash. Kendall came in and brought Clarke as part of the Everton mafia with him, not sure why, as he brought fuck all to the team and was as utterly useless as Heath. I was only really doing the odd game up until that season for a few reasons, it was under Kendall that I became a regular match goer, heady times.
 
I'd been going (unofficially) since I was 6/7, used to jib the turnstile, lived facing the Maine stand (the outside not the kippax), then I became official 88/89... Pestered my dad to fuck off his mate, think he's hated me ever since lol...

As an 8/9 year old my old man took me everywhere, home and away (when we could), his drinking buddy at the city club and still to this day, however, he's one of the old school victor meldrews who saw the 'great sides' of 60s and 70s and never shut up about it (: - I mean when I'm worshipping tricky Ricky Holden, so slow he made Ron Kovic look fast without his wheelchair, he'd laugh, oh how he'd laugh....

They were all shite compared to today, but they were our shite and I wouldn't of had it any other way.....
