If John hartson had of stayed with us would we be back in the premier league now? He would have scored a lot of goals in the championship
Most definitely, I reckon if he'd signed at Christmas we might have been okMore to the point if he'd joined us earlier the season we went down, we might have had a fighting chance of staying up.
Agree with you there he played 12 games for us and scored 6 goals had he been with us for longer we could have stayed upMore to the point if he'd joined us earlier the season we went down, we might have had a fighting chance of staying up.
It wasn't just the goals. Strachan was completely incapable of adapting systems, and we spent the first half of the season whacking the ball long to Bellamy. At least Hartson could hold the ball up and bring others into play.Agree with you there he played 12 games for us and scored 6 goals had he been with us for longer we could have stayed up
Harsh on Kirkland!On the bench? Chris Kirkland. God knows how he felt. An arrogant, snotty little twat.
Not with Strachan as manager no.If John hartson had of stayed with us would we be back in the premier league now? He would have scored a lot of goals in the championship

Remember the ‘goal’ away at West Ham he had disallowed for offside because the linesman didn’t see the defender back on the line. I still haven’t got over it.
Monday night? Was it on sky or sky paper view?
I really can't stand Bellamy, but we started to see what he could do when Hartson came in. Loved big Cedric Roussel, but if only he'd buggered off to Wimbledon so we could have got Hartson in a few weeks sooner. Still, another example of our former Chairman upsetting one of our strikers by trying to force through a move against their will (just like with hawking Dion to Blackburn).It wasn't just the goals.

The salary issues killed the club, not just the Arena.If John hartson had of stayed with us would we be back in the premier league now? He would have scored a lot of goals in the championship

Yes. If only by a couple months. His goals/contribution would, I feel have made the difference.More to the point if he'd joined us earlier the season we went down, we might have had a fighting chance of staying up.
Being one for conspiracy theories I always reckoned the Referees Union conspired to send us down. Strachan was forever blaming the ref after every match. They just got their own back.We replaced Robbie Kean with Bellamy. A big reason why we went down as he was next to useless. Missed no end of one on ones. Couldn’t believe it when we offloaded him to Newcastle for about what we paid for him. His subsequent career showed we were just unlucky (that makes a change!). Replaced him with Hughes who Albion didn’t want to sell (Wolves hadn’t wanted to sell Kean but we were the bigger club then!). Had Hartson come a couple of months earlier we’d have stayed up.
Don’t get me started on Strachan. Anyone remember the game against Boro when Hedman could barely stand up and he wouldn’t take him off, probably out of pig-headedness as the whole crowd were crying out for it. On the bench? Chris Kirkland. God knows how he felt. An arrogant, snotty little twat.
You back again! No comments on you tic toc tic toc thread lately?Not with Strachan as manager no.
I remember this! Anyone got a video?Don’t get me started on Strachan. Anyone remember the game against Boro when Hedman could barely stand up and he wouldn’t take him off, probably out of pig-headedness as the whole crowd were crying out for it. On the bench? Chris Kirkland. God know
Hartson said in an interview a number of years ago that Coventry City is the only club that he had ever asked to leave.
I think if we had kept Aloisi, and maybe to a lesser extent Zuniga, we would have done better
I quite liked the look of Zuniga and thought he could’ve been alright.
Wasn’t Scottish or good at golf so had no chance
Most definitely, I reckon if he'd signed at Christmas we might have been ok

ISTR there were concerns over whether he had recovered from an injury, the club dithered.Absolutely, as soon as we bought Hartson, we had a potentially top 10 front 2. They clicked immediately Bellamy and Hartson. Perfect partnership but was too little too late. As someone. Else posted if we bought Hartson at Xmas it may have saved us.

Not in the Tic Toc Tic Toc thread you didn't, as mentioned.Posting at 06:27, sad fucker!
The referee’s union must be very vindictive if we’ve managed to get relegated to League 2!
We finished 15th in the 'entertainers' season failing to win an away game and threw away a two goal lead at home to lower league CharltonSee everyone slated Strachan but the year before we finished 11th and were known as the entertainers. Richardson wouldn't offer McAllister a new contract until it was too late despite McAllister saying he wanted to stay. He then sold Keane on the eve of the season and all creativity in the team went. We lost 20-30 goals from the team and struggled. Any manager who loses goals from the team struggles. I honestly believe Pressley would of taken us up if Clarke hadn't left and Wilson hadn't got injured. The first 1\2 of that season was unbelievable to start the season on -10 and be in the top10 by Christmas was fantastic. Just a shame it was played Sixfields and nobody watched it.
They are absolute bastards mate. They even use their Jedi mind powers to make your strikers miss open goals, the defence fall apart, and your midfield pass to the opposition.
They've been after us for years...
