Bramble cost us more points than anyone else in Sir. Bobby's last season, it's clear that a more competent centre-back in place of him would have got us into the top 4 that season.

we lost more points through the central midfiled allowing the oppositions midfiled to wander through totally unmarked.

Shambles was a strange fker, most of the time utter shit yet glimpses of brilliance... remember him at home vs Chelski when he owned Drogba for the entire match.

Next game back to utter shit.

Just to confirm, you're talking about the 03/04 season here where we conceded 40 league goals, a total we've only ever bettered once in the Premiership (when we came 2nd in 95/96 supposedly with our reckless concede 3 and try to score 4 tactics which meant we threw away a 12 point lead :rolleyes:).

 

The main problem that year was we drew too many away games (we only won 2). That was mostly because we only scored 19 away goals which was the 7th worst total in the league.

Ah right cheers mate, all I remember is Bramble letting the ball bounce over his head and make ridiculous mistakes on a weekly basis, those stats mean nothing.

Seem to remember him having some absolute stormers in the CL as well.  Against Juventus in particular if I remember correctly.

He's done that across his whole career never mind that 1 season tbf.

Jason can't remember what's occured this season, let alone 7 years back. Not really worth a debate.

I can remember taking a shit in your paper bin and that was over a week ago.  :ninja:

Bramble has all of the attributes to be a world class centre half except one:concentration.

Whenever Bramble has a moment of madness though it almost always ends in a goal whereas you see Rio make the same kind of mistake and nothing comes of it.

Bramble would make at least one a game though, unless it was against Chelsea.

Nah you're right, he rarely made a mistake, hardly gifted the opposition goals and was consistently solid. That's why he now plays for the Premiership powerhouse of Wigan.
