Brought a tear to my eye, that.

 

Great bunch of players we had then. If only we had a better manager

[WilliamPS]

Underrated chant as well. When the whole stadium or the away end was just chanting Papiss Demba Cisse over and over - greet scenes

[Charlies]

Random bump

Forgot about this enigma. Those 5 months with him and Ben Arfa were something truly special.

I will never forgive Mike Ashley for only signing Vurnon fucking Anita as a follow up to that season.

I'm sure i read somewhere that he didn't back the club that summer out of spite for the team not securing 4th and tbh knowing the measure of the man. 
It genuinely sounds plausible. The abhorrent fat twat that he is.

We wouldn't have qualfiied for the CL for finishing 4th either.

He must hate Demba.

[mighty__mag]

Saw that he's still playing at 38 training with Macclesfield, 

 

Then noticed Obertan is still playing and only 35, how the hell is Obertan only 35 ?

[Dr.Spaceman]

I'll never forget when he said Wonga as shirt sponsor clashed with his Muslim beliefs, then he was pictured gambling in Aspers 

 

He was brilliant one minute and absolutely horseshit the next. Desperate for him out the team by the end of his time here. His first 6 months were electric though. When he banged in his first goal past Shay you had a feeling.

[Conjo]

 

Shame it wasn't for us, but my favorite Cisse goal during his time with us.

[Ronaldo]

How on earth does he generate enough power on that for it to maintain such a flat trajectory? He did a lot of special things in his career, Papiss.

[Kid Icarus]

The aspect ratio makes it look like it was from the halfway line. Still an absolutely cracking header like.

[gbandit]

One of the best headers ever

that and the van persie one (in the world cup i think)

I seem to remember Speed scoring a ridiculously good header from outside the area for Wales as well.

Did for us too, didn't he, vs Blackburn? Souness said it was 'poxy'.

Don't remember it, but this is ringing bells for the mental comment...

4 mins. I'm misremembering; wasn't outside the box.

Blame Pardew for that trying to get him to run off a broken kneecap… ?

 

Should never of been moved from the Centre also. Ba should’ve had that made clear. 
 

Pardew man ?

I won't ever get past our 5th position finish as being the result of injuries forcing Pardew to pick our best players. Pretty sure Ben Arfa was out of the team before that.

 

But that was one of the few times in the last 30 years or so I can remember us having two strikers that other teams genuinely feared. The quality of the goals they scored was something else as well.

Was there not a goal for Bolton or am i joining you imagining things?

As much as I thought (and still do) that Speed was great for us (apart from when he constantly shifted to left wing) I can't actually remember any of his goals. It pains me to say that my lasting memory of him was that sh** show against Marseilles

I was desperate to sell him after that first beautiful half season never mind by the end. Every goal he scored was a worldly in that spell, and there was no way it could continue. I’d tell anyone who’d listen I’d sell him to Man City while his stock was high and they all thought I was simple.

With hindsight, fat Mike would only have taken the profit for another retail purchase instead of building the club, so with reluctance I think keeping him was for the best even though he never hit those heights again.

There was little to no point in us receiving transfer fees under MA.
