Would love to see some of these lads come back as traditional half time heroes and what have you. Would be great to give them some applause; providers of great moments during those lean times.

From world class striker stats for six months to being unable to hit a cows arse with a banjo. I still loved him. The period where he was just constantly offside nearly broke me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Will forever be gutted he didn't continue to hit the heights of those first 6 months. The way he came in and smashed it, and how he genuinely loved the city and the area, and that smile, it would have been something special for him to be a bit of a footballing legend for us. We didnt help him with the shocking managers we gave him, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 That picture of Cisse jumping over the barrier in the corner after scoring is one of the best ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 31 goals in 36 games between Ba & Cisse from Cisse making his debut v Villa and Ba being sold. They only scored in the same game twice. Was crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 12 hours ago, Lotus said: Lovely interview. Comes across as a top bloke. Thought he might’ve mentioned Demba…..they fall out? The rumour was that Ba tried his best to create chances for Cisse to score during the first six months, and after that being jealous for Cisses success and switched to complete twat mode and stopped helping Cisse in all aspects. Cisses goals started to dry up since then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I remember Ba still getting chances but he wasn't taking them, whereas everything Cisse touched turned to goals. Quite frustrating at the time because if BA hadn't starting being a twat, that Ba, Cisse, HBA front 3 could've been immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Has there ever been a better player at getting done for offside? Had an incredible ability to be offside in situations where he never should have been. Still loved him and his big smile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I think ba would've been still playing to this day had he not snapped his leg in Turkey. Most african players play a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Just now, Lazarus said: Inzaghi? Inzaghi was a predator though, that was his whole game. I’m sure he got done a lot but he also beat the trap a ton too. Cissé got done in situations where he just switched off and obviously forgot what was going on. He made up for it though by slamming in the best screamers for half a season that anyone has ever done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
