Yeah, that one raised my eyebrow too - and I was one of those who felt Peacock was underrated as a centre half! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I was 11 so my memory's hazy but I'd put money on it being because of his consistency. Our better players had highs and lows throughout the season. Funny how Ferdinand won PFA POTY but didn't win our own award though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often kept Howey out of the team once Albert was fit, but Howey got selected for Euro 96 (before he fell in a ditch I believe). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew it was 26 and still agreed to it! I also think the interview he did recently with Gary Neville helped massively. Gareth must have watched it and thought he is a good egg, rather than what many perceive him as from the outside. Edited May 5 by CPL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored 12 goals in October; he only managed another 13 from November to May. First three months of the season he was unplayable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate won’t be getting his mentality reports on Gordon from YouTube 😂 He’s been part of the England youth setup for years - they’ll be well aware of his mentality. Presumably Ashworth knew it and that’s part of the reason why they wanted him so badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Remember when we seemed to go years without being awarded a penalty? For years we rarely troubled the opposition's penalty, now we have this guy. Can now see why some teams seem to be awarded loads of penalties and some very few. Gordon earns/wins them with his running at players in the box.

Also, we have the ball in the opposition box so much more. No more of the sit back with 10 men behind the ball and hope for a bit of magic, we're a proper attacking team under Eddie.

Erikse Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) 14 hours ago, Ellis H said: On the player of the year award, how utterly degrading have most of our winners been in the last 20 or so years? Only 2 attackers (one of which was on loan) since Shearer in 02/03 says it all. https://imgur.com/r7IT4qw 11/12 season was the 5th place one. Ba, Cisse, Tiote, HBA, Colo and Cabaye was amongst the players that could've won it. Instead Krul won it. Edited May 5 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Maybe Peacock isn't that far off for 95/96 when you think Lee, Ferdinand and Ginola were right off the boil in the second half and Albert and Batty were on fire at the end but weren't around for the first half. Still would have thought Beardsley mind. Paradoxically 95/96 and 96/97 are the hardest ones to pin down. Edited May 5 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
