Conjo Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Random observation: Watching highlights from Newcastle - Nottingham Forest (Newcastle Utd v Nottingham F 1995/96 on youtube) and it seems Paul Bearer is in with home crowd at 09:01 - 09:04 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Les Ferdinand was incredible, what a beast of a striker he was that season, i remember i was only 9 or 10 years old back then but was gutted when him and Ginola left us for spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Watching back through the highlights there, I forgot we actually had a fair few 1-0 wins too later in the season. Unfortunately not as many as Man Utd managed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated Spurs for years because we'd lose our best players to them despite finishing above them. Ruel Fox, Ginola, Ferdinand, Jenas, Modric and Harry Redknapp choosing them over us.

Kanji Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 If we didn't go unnecessarily selling players it would have been interesting to see a lineup of Ginola, Asprilla, Ferdinand, Lee, Speed, Batty with JDT and Gillespie providing different options / formations. Hell - even having Asprilla/Ferdinand as the main central striker with JDT supporting either of them, you could have had Gillespie and Ginola wide with Lee/Speed/Batty duking it out for the central positions. However, I assume Les/Ginola funded Speed and JDT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so - competition for places would have been nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Some of Dalglish’s signings were cracking, Given, Dabizas, Nobby, Hamman, Speed, JDT even who didn’t work out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalglish certainly brought in a mixed bag during his time here. https://www.nufc.com/2019-20html/transfers-dalglish.html Certainly would have been a coup to have got Mellberg in, as too Brad Friedel under Keegan. Replacing Robbie Elliott for Pistone was a stinker. Even more so playing him right-back ahead of Watson in the cup final in 98. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no doubt about it - Given, Dabizas, Nobby and Speed went on to to be legends for us under Sir Bobby. JDT should have had Sir Les and Big Al nurturing him. Hammann was Gullit though. My main issue is the Rush/Barnes/Pistone idiocy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Assuming the league starts again in the rumoured June date. Where would that leave us in players who are injured returning back? I assume Dubravka will be back, how about Willems and Dummett? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 6-2. Scholes hattrick. Were 6-1 down for a good chunk of the game. I remember Jenas got a screamer, Scholes esque. Looking back the media did a job on Dyer’s comments regarding Scholes and his England place prior to the match which Fergie use to good effect, Scholes was world-class that day, a league above anyone on the pitch in terms of his performance. We just fell apart defensively that day, which we were always as capable of doing in any game as much as we were capable of destroying someone under Sir Bobby. It’s remarkable what he achieved in such a short period though given what he inherited and that back line. By then Shearer was no longer world-class and you could say he was our only real top-class player, yet we were so good on our day. If only he had of taken over from KK... we’d have won a title or a cup or two at the least. European glory would have been achievable too. So near, yet so far, the story of NUFC’s entire history from formation to the day ?????? arrived where we stopped being a football club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
