Everyone forgotten Robbie Keane? Edited apart from KG82 - surrised he wasn't good enough for ROS's team though!!

Signed him from New York Cosmos

You've forced me to check this out! Roussel was born in Mons which is in the French speaking area. You are right however that Delorge & Clement were born in the Flemish area. From what I can see though there are still a sizeable minority (about 31%) of Wallooon French speakers in Flanders, so...

I don't remember John Chiedozie taking us apart for Spurs but I certainly do remember him doing so for Notts County!! In more recent times I remember Taarabt running the game for QPR. Further back I remember Laurie Cunningham being unplayable on an icy pitch at HR & Limpar destroying us at...

You could always pan the team out with French speaking Belgians, which would also significantly improve it!! Anyhow my French 'connected' team in 4-4-2 formation is: Arphexad Genoux Walleme Delormeux Edjenguele Delorge Beuzelin Clement Hadji (French passport holder) Regis (born in French...

Was an extremely poor decision to bring him here in 2002. His best years were behind him & he was also responsible for bringing other ex Derby has beens with him in Trollope and Carbonari, who hindered rather than helped our cause. His appointment completely undermined Nilsson's authority, and...

Fair enough. I take it to mean someone who has a long career and is bang average, so to my mind Shaw was very much a journeyman. If it just means someone whose played for a lot of clubs then the likes of Robbie Keane & Ibrahimovic would also be journeymen players. However, the term is generally...

Dabo is better than Grimmer, but I'm still pleased for Grimmer that he is doing well. He was a big part of our promotion year, and never kicked up a fuss last season like many others would have in his position. Just checked on Sterling and seen he has only played 6 games for Wigan this season...

He was an extremely exciting player, but also a frustrating one, and was caught offside more often than he should have been, given his blistering pace meant he could beat defenders even if they had a start on him. Strachan kind of got it right when he said Huckerby scored great goals rather than...

Kelly had a poor first half yesterday (along with others), but the second half was the polar opposite, with his through ball to Biamou sublime.

Think that's pretty harsh, particularly for the 2nd goal where he was badly let down by Mason who was caught well out of position, and who left Drysdale exposed to the type of run the goalscorer made. There's definite promise in Drysdale, but he does seem to lack pace and is a different type of...

This is a completely short sighted viewpoint. At a time when the club's income has been hit by our small home crowds at St Andrews we cannot give up on the extra revenue getting through each round of the cup offers, never mind the prospect of a bumper pay day should we draw the likes of...

No season tickets to add to the gate, which I believe get counted for league attendances regardless of whether season ticket holders actually use their tickets. Still a big differential though.

N No chance our game will be a TV one judging by the BBC's coverage today. The replays at Hartlepool and Boston will be preferred I should think.

Sorry - comment was not specifically aimed at you. You are right about the forwards - we have actually had some good one's - Mcgoldrick, Clarke, Wilson, Armstrong, McNulty etc who were all very influential. Jutkiewicz was also better than many judged him at the time, and if we had held onto him...

I think the OP used the term 'potential'. Given the young age of our team it has to be feasible that the likes of Marosi, Dabo, Hyam, Rose, McCallum, Westbrooke and Shipley could step up if their careers were to carry on with upward progression. O'Hara can also do that, but he isn't our player.

I would have thought we should be judging these players on their performances for us rather than what they've gone on to do elsewhere. We've not had the greatest group of left backs in the last 10 years so I can see how Stokes would be the selection by many. On the same basis I think some people...

I think he had talent but just wasn't mentally strong enough to step forward. I remember when we last came back to the Ricoh he was outstanding in the Gillingham game and was being touted as our most saleable asset. Within a short time though we had brought in Chris Stokes to play at left back...

2 previous games stick out for me. Firstly a 4-1 win when Mick Ferguson scored all 4 goals, when Bobby Robson had spent the week leading up to the game talking about signing Fergie if he played well. He obviously never expected him to play that well! The second game is not so much to do with...
