Manxst Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Just now, OCK said: Just thinking about that time we signed John Barnes and he finished top goalscorer with 11 goals or something. 7 in 39 total, 97/98 season. (6 in 26 in the league). Fucking awful time, with Rush and Pearce too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Peace was actually quite decent. Certainly out of the 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Holy shit, it was as low as 7?! Time has seriously cured all memories of those Kenny Dalglish years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two were atrocious though. Yet still ‘good’ enough to be our top scorer… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I remember he had that horrendous crash. Tough as nails. Dalglish Even signed his own son around that time. He was shit too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 JD Tommasssooonn Andreas Andre And his Anderson Alan Shearer Paul Dalglish That season probably took 5 years off Shearer's life. Ah yeah, that was the season his knees retired. 17 games 2 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I had Barnes 10 on the back of the weird blue/green/orange away kit. Good times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Aye Pearce was decent - and went onto have a couple more years at West Ham and Man City. Must be the last time though we signed someone who'd already been a manager? Barnes half-decent. Rush was well and truly finished. His last goal in English football was with us, despite going onto player two divisions down for Wrexham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Hamann was class. I remember him rocketing that 30 odd yard ball in against Juve. Pearce could hit them too. spelt his name right this time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Barnes got that beauty away to west ham i think, and Rush was shite but i think he did get us a very important cup goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a beauty - that's his last goal in English football. Also got one in the League Cup earlier against Hull. Pearce scored a free kick in the Champions League against Kyiv.

I mean we did have the Barca win and the cup final (/semi final win). Those shit seasons were still much better than the Ashley years - the Barca night alone is worth years of nothingness.
