I was just about to predict "Taveres will score and go off at half time", half way there now. He'll be on the bench Sunday,

He's right to manage expectations. If he came out and said "We're the best side in the division and we're going to piss it", I would be distinctly more concerned.

Or this perfect pastiche:

I'd take Fulop (RIP) over Kasper.

He did. Always thought he was a bit "meh" before we had him, but once he was plonked into our team of donkeys it made sense why Boro loved him. Very clever.

Mate, he was too clever for HIMSELF! Andy Gray pointed a couple of times when he could have passed or shot for an opportunity but instead took too many fancy touches and it was cleared/taken off him. That said, he was brilliant when it came off, and in his early period at City it did more often...

Absolutely bang on, that.

Looks good, much better balance & depth on the left now. Should be the ideal replacement for Maatsen.

OK I've finished watching Coventry murder Swindon 1-1 in 1994. Bastard Swindon last minute Andy Mutch equaliser, we were all over them but didn't take our chances! Marsden was as good as I remember him & people's points about his strengths are absolutely spot on. He also made 4-5 good ball...

Do you think that there is any truth to these alleged allegations ? ;)

He would really suit the way we play!

People who saw the reserves said he was good, though.

I don't know about anger, but 4 games(!), all as sub, all defeats: QPR (H) 0-1, Swindon (A) 1-3, Newcastle (A) 0-4, QPR (H) 0-1. You can't blame him for all of that of course, but it was just 1-0 when he came on against Newcastle, 0-0 the second QPR game and 1-2 against Swindon. I don't remember...

Huddersfield rather than Stockport (he joined Stockport in 96 and rehabilitated his career), but yeah, just 8 games at Wolves and 10 in a spell at Notts C were what followed in the three years after that Swindon match.

OK this is doing my nut in now and it needs its own nostalgic thread. Here's my thought's from the Julian Darby thread (what a world...): Chris Marsden looked unfathomably brilliant to me in his loan spell. Does anyone have any concrete or otherwise reason/rumours for him not signing? I thought...

Chris Marsden looked unfathomably brilliant to me in his loan spell. Does anyone have any concrete or otherwise reason/rumours for him not signing? I thought he was class against Swindon-OK it's just Swindon-just found the full match online and in the intro, Keys says "Chris Marsden was MOM in...

What about the Cricket Test, though? No, not the Tory one from the 80's (or "now" in Scotland), but rather: is he one of those weirdos who bats with one hand but bowls with the other??!

Flynn/Boland/Darby, what a midfield! But West Ham's side was as shit as ours, it's just the pre-money era. Great touch by Wegerle for the goal...

Matt Le Tissier also called him the fittest player he'd ever played with, so good stamina/works hard + does what he's told = strengths that managers like that fans don't always see? Especially back then-nowadays there would be graphs galore showing his ground covered etc. He was a crap passer...

And the fans of those club too now I think of it, only they'd do it in a Hot Fuzz accent. All 7 of them.
