WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I miss European nights on channel 5 with Colin Murray, Sibierski, Roeder and Pat Nevin. They were f***ing awesome, in a nostalgic kind of way. This. I'll never forget John Barnes in his jeans and polo shirt in Waregem 'cos his suitcase went missing. Why 5 didn't just pay for a cheap suit so he fitted in, I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Will never forget his début and goal in Tallinn and the birth of his song in the STARR afterwards and the very messy night in Tallinn that followed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Palermo was the best night for me in our UEFA cup run. A patch work team, a striker that was struggling on all fronts, and a team that had tore West Ham a new one sitting 2nd in Serie A. And that's before you count in the fact they'd just beat Milan 2-0 the Sunday before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Was pretty much crying when we signed him. Was pretty much crying when he left too. Never has a player turned my opinions around so much, not a world-beater by any stretch but a top pro for us and gets a from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Didn't want to leave either iirc. I think you can clearly pinpoint the start of our decline to his sale. We never recovered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Sarcasm and snidelness are unwarranted. He did far more for us than Barton for a lot less cost and a lot less fuss. He would be an asset to the team now. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Always got time for him after the way he conducted himself during his time here. But some of the praise he got for his actual ability around here was quite laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Really nice bloke, decent footballer who gave 100% and became a cult figure for a year. Good luck to him in future endeavours. yup. not a world beater but he always gave 100% for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The thing most of us like about Sibierski was you could actually tell he was genuinely thrilled to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 He put his everything he had in to the club, but for me it was his attempts to connect with the fans and the club itself that makes me fond of him. Think he'd sell our club very well to potential youngsters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The thing most of us like about Sibierski was you could actually tell he was genuinely thrilled to be here. Of course he was. He went from Man City reserves to playing in front of 50,000 every other week becoming a cult-hero scoring against crappy opposition in the UEFA Cup.

Yorkie Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Palermo was the best night for me in our UEFA cup run.

And that's before you count in the fact they'd just beat Milan 2-0 the Sunday before. That one where Sibi didn't play? Palermo was good but their side was about as ship-shaped as ours was that night. No Bresciano, no Amauri, to name a couple. Fenerbahce and Vigo were good that year (the former of which was three years ago today, would you believe... feels like yesterday in one respects, like decades ago in another).

Pilko Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 That header against Reading at home in the league was class. Nobby's looped cross, Sibi twists his body and bullets in the header. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I thought he was actually a decent player, not just hard working. Not the best in front of goal, but his touches to martins were quality and intelligent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said Sibierski did play in that game... And they had a very in form Di Michele, Simplicio and more than enough quality to batter us. I think if we did an injury count it was in their favour.
