I'd love to know how many times you slated the resigning of Bobby on here - 20+?

Brilliant so glad hes scored at the Amex
That almost makes me weepy just reading it. I need to get down there and see a Bobbyzam winner of my own.
Probably just more than 20.
I saw Bobby's signing as a vanity project.
He can't play 90 minutes and he can't play often.
That has left the team a striker 'short', for the time being.
To be honest the first quarter of the season had done very little to change my opinion.
Obviously going disco mentals with everyone else changes everything for tonight.
If the Leeds game marks the start of Bobby's season then I can't wait to tuck into lashings of humble pie.
Clearly I was never carried away enough to talk about him scoring the 20 or whatever goals for his Albion century, or saying he should start on Saturday.
But if Bobby is able to play through the season, when needed, and score a couple more goals, I'll be only too happy to be loud, loud wrong.

Haha that's brilliant! Me and the missus were going mental like two little kids, I looked around after several seconds feeling a bit foolish for overdoing the celebrations then when I realised every single other person was doing the same I just carried on like a lunatic, best goal ever.

Tonight has most certainly pipped my previous #1 Amex moment which was Spanish Dave vs The Scum.
Just scenes is the only way to describe it. 3 points against a lucky team and a shit ref thanks to a talismanic legend like Bobby f**king Zamora.
What a night.

It's not about minutes or games, we have Baldock & Hemed for that (and hopefully more in Jan), it's about moments and points. Bobby now has some great moments against Bolton, Leeds and now Bristol, he also has 4 points. He is already in the same ball park as the efforts of last season's strikers over a whole season. But what he does do very well is make folk like me very very happy indeed, just seeing him in the stripes.
I have to be honest - I sit on the same side of the fence as Stat Brother..........I thought it was a fan appeasement signing and I still think you won't get a lot of minutes out of him this season. However the technique in his strike tonight was first class and if he can come on in matches and do things like that. Even if it is only one match in 3 then I will be more than happy to hold my hands up and say ''fair play to the guy' - I was wrong'' So well done Bobby long may it continue
pasty
A different kind of pasty
I will admit it now. So did I. Unashamedly.
It brought a tear to my japs eye.

We all saw Bobby score at the Amex in a Brighton side that finished the match with Bruno, Calde & Crofts alongside him. Benno was there too, but on the wrong side. Its like some comeback tour with favourite band members from different eras all appearing together.

No mate, "just seeing him in the stripes" is not enough. He has to deliver and he has. If he didnt deliver then rightly questions would be asked, but he is and so fine. I saw this club decline from the top flight sell its ground, draw 1-1 at Hereforrd, ground share at Gillingham and have to put up with lower league football at Withdean as smaller clubs than us and palace had success. I now want to win and have the team to match the support. Just seeing anyone on the stripes is not good enough. Well done Bobby Zamora, now score again next game. Tonight is over, next game is what counts.
Me too, but isn't that the very definition of 'vanity project'.
Granted it's not like the club didn't need a lift after last seasons disgusting performances.
I just feel as great as Bobby is there was no value on the pitch to his return.
Clearly and luckily that's where I'm hopefully going to be proved wrong.
I had visions of him scoring a spectacular over head kick from 30 yards v Forest and then being in traction for 8 months!!
As it stands he would appear to be handled well, the team is lucky that Baldock and Hemed have stayed fit.
The season started at the being of August and we're finally having this classic NSC conversation towards the end of October.
By early next year we'll know if Bobby was worth it, naturally tonight of course he is, but that wasn't the case up until last weekend, or else we'd already have had this chat.

Not seen such Bravery!
Best AMEX moment ever for me, and I include Buckley's goals vs Doncaster, and The St Patrick's Day Massscre in that.
