I know... it was a real turn corner, dear diary moment. Nice work too, re meeting your other half! What a night to remember.
The only thing - Fosters?!? I guess it was that or Carling Black Label, huh?!?
I reckon he's a bit too arrogant to consider the wrongs he may have committed... BUT, sometimes late a night, sitting on his veranda, whilst the Mediterranean breeze gently caresses his hair and he sips a nice red... Perhaps he asks himself; what if? what if I hadn't been such a massive tit...
Oh he did, the constant "They're (insert bigger club here) a great club, a big club etc." monologues became increasingly hard to stomach... but prior to becoming entrenched in his oft verbose 'other club' statements, well he was a top, top Albion manger. One of the best.
BANG! No slippers and pipe this evening, ay Simster? Brilliant.
Why are so many people so blind when it comes to how well Gus did with us?
Top result against Lyon - well done Gus.
Yep, Dickinson was not good and ended up in the conference north by the age of 28 - at Stalybridge Celtic for a while!
I love that clip for many reasons, but the iconic celebration from Kuipers was just perfection.
Yep - you're right, it was Crofty. I remember being genuinely excited with the Gus appointment... Then thinking Southampton would probably be a bridge too far for the first game... After 10 mins I was in heaven, we were utterly unplayable. Pardew looked crest fallen, we were massively up for it...
That's was a brilliant game... 2-0 up in about 5 mins, Murray and Forster causing loads of problems... Dicker (Crofts, ahem, edit) with the third. Sublime, given our respective form prior to then.
I, personally, wish him well. The best football I've witnessed (at times), and some brilliant...
