Kid Icarus

That was honestly what I found most impressive about him against us. I thought Hall had him pocketed, he was really quiet, but was like an assassin who turned up in the big moments.

We're both old enough to remember Riviere and what "awful" truly means. Wood did his job, despite his limitations and I'm personally happy that he's now showing what he can do and is doing well. See also, Joselu.

Has no-one watched how we play against them away? We always seen to know how to do it.

I can't tell you how chuffed I am for Wood considering how over the top the dislike of him was with some of our lot. Fully deserved.

I think it's worth asking yourself these two questions: 1. Do we need him at the moment? 2. If we do, is it worth the risk of it affecting his performances by not giving him a wage bump for a few months? We don't know what's gone on, what promises have been made etc, but I think you have to be pragmatic and (potentially unlike Dubravka who has form here) put the club and the position it's in first. We lose very little by sweetening the deal.

I think it's a popular myth (and popular topic on here) that Tino was a poor signing in 95/96. We had a reputation for having a poor defence and insane attack in but when we signed Tino the goals were drying up and by the end of the season we had the second best defence in the league. Having said that, if we had a What If machine it would be interesting to see what would have happened if our summer signings had been Flowers and Hendry instead of Hislop and Barton.

I generally hate the attendance chat, but something surely happened for them to have so few people there? If that's just the natural attendance for the match and there's no real reason no one showed up then that's truly shocking like.

Not a good thread title for people with no memory of this happening

This is really boring, but I'll continue to bite and put you right about what I said. It was 9+...in a row...in the league. We're still 4 league games and 3 weeks away from that. And again, nothing to do with pure probability in the way you're implying and everything to do with applied probability based on real-world evidence.

It's just always, always fickle and clownishly over the top to the point that I don't think it should be taken seriously.

With friends like these.. (N-O, not him )

Took me ages to decide who I'd prefer to go out, like. Mad how much I can't stand Arsenal now considering how much I admired them under Wenger.

That must be the worst left side we've ever put out like.

Poor Huntington, he never stood a chance.

Is Raya a bit simple? Diving like 2 strides before they even reach the ball.

Couldn't have put it better myself

Wouldn't omit Shearer either, but yeah Beardsley 93 to 96 is about as good as we've had it in my lifetime like, like Ben Arfa level wtf moments, but more regularly and with an extremely high work rate.

It's not either or though, just hoy them all in! Beardsley's our best player in the PL era. A genius.

Hold on, it's happened a few times. What's going on?

Beye was comfortably better than everyone pre-Trippier for me, but Debuchy would probably come second in that era.

Better all round 'keeper at his peak imo. Can totally see the argument for either though.

Like a new signing
