No, he's at another premier league club scoring goals, proving the OP (and some of our other fans) very wrong, hence this thread getting bumped when that happens.
Yes. I might note one takes them, but given the trouble we've had scoring penalties, particularly the year we had Wood, Barnes and Murray and ended the season with more than half a dozen penalty takers, I don't think scoring a penalty is easy.
I think taking away goals to try to prove a point...
Also, what about rebounded penalties that are scored? They're not officially penalty goals, so they don't get chalked off, but should they? If we're ruling out goals from penalties and free kicks, shouldn't we also rul out goals from corners?
Ian Wright retired in 2001. Can't speak for everyone else, but I wasn't on NSC pre-2001, so prior to that so couldn't have posted about his goals.
After we turned him down, Ian Wright returned to amateur and part time football to continue his development, went to prison for a couple of weeks...
Our result has nothing to do with it. Just a coincidence this weekend. It's simply about a man being written off as not good enough for us at league one, firing his premier league side into the top 6.
You seem really defensive.
If their couple of post in this thread = spamming, what do your couple of post in here = ?
If you read the first post, it is clearly not a reactionary 'just back from the game' rant. It actually points out it's been a gestating thought and the most recent game (more...
Because it was on tv and I was going to watch it and because they are teams in our division, and as a promoted team villa are one of the ones that most look to to be toward the bottom of the division and I'm not yet ready to dismiss the idea we could be looking over our shoulders for most of the...
Can you only think about one thing at a time? I can't speak for everyone else posting on this yesterday, but I was delighted with our win, and what sounded like a good performance, with a sense that it is likely to get better as we get more comfortable in it. I was also thinking about what my...
End of what? This thread has never been about whether Barnes is better than Murray or not (at least not with the bounces). It has been about throwing it back in the face of someone who argued passionately and defiantly that Ashley Barnes was not and never would be good enough for even a League...
I don't see how what you say contradicts me, really. Firstly, I deliberately used the term "most' people standing up for Barnes, of course there are exceptions, you may have been one of them I can't really be bothered to go back through the past 1200-odd posts again having gone through them...
Again, I say. It's great that everyone is revelling in Mr Burns' wrongness. But most of us standing up for Barnes when we were in league one were not of the opinion he would do well in the premier league. It was more a defence of him as a league one player with the assumption he would be third...
