I definitely agree Alan Smith’s the worst, mind. Shocking player. Nothing but red and yellow cards to show for his time here. I don’t buy the shit about him standing up as a senior player in the Championship either. He was shit there too. We looked much better with Guthrie in his place.

About 1 in 3 including penalties. He was abysmal given he was signed for £17m as a pure goalscorer and eventual captain.

Different level to Wilson. There’s nothing Wilson does better than the Ba we had for 18 months.

Not in a million years.

You saw Enrique but not Ba?

Robert was the definition of a player producing tangible goods. And he got the best out of those around him to too great and extent to accuse him of not being a team player.

Comparing ASM to Robert is madness. Totally different players. Totally different levels too, as much as I rate ASM as a talent.

Someone’s going down with 40 points. Too many fixtures where opposing sides have nowt to play for.

Tough to judge him when he’s alongside Wood, Almiron etc. He’s basically our only option in far too many attacking situations and teams know this. Hardly ideal ground on which to thrive.

We need a striker, desperately. Someone to push teams back with pace, put pressure on off the ball and serve as an outlet. Nothing we didn’t know.

Where are we in the form table since Howe took over, 7th?

He was a class act and under the right manager would’ve been a massive success.

Odd how much out fanbase has changed. If Kluivert signed for us last season and got 13 goals under Steve Bruce he’d be a bonafide cult hero. Graeme Souness sacked him off in 2005 so he must be a flop.

Keith Stroud that was.

Frenchman who wore no. 32.

40 points with 5 games left is unbelievable. He’s done a great job and I can’t wait to see what we can do next season with a couple more quality attacking players.

He’s shown great form in the Championship twice before this, to be fair. Nothing new that he’s very good in that league.

3-2 vs Barca - how could I forget that? The one and only game I went to with my grandad who had my dad’s season ticket. Amazing night.

Feyenoord away was the greatest night of my life. Up until then at least.

He’s got a lot of things going for him that you can’t teach. Intimidating that we haven’t seen anything like his best yet.

Got to give him a new 2-year deal at a minimum. He’s not perfect but he’s our best CB at present and the only one who can play a bit of football.

is this sarcasm?

Especially considering the 2 mongs who managed us that season. Distinct lack of creativity in the side also.

I just love Papiss. Kinda wish we’d had him at a different time.

Teams with nowt play for, end of the season. I’d feel a lot more comfortable if we can get to 41 in the next 3 games.
