I dont think Hincapie has been amazing. A few poor performances and quite a few injuries.Quote:

I am sure we'll keep him. And he will look a lot more comfortable next season.
Apart from giving away a really dumb penalty.Quote:

Remember that towering header on halfway for the 4th goal vs Sperz etc?
He won the Bundesleague at 22 for a non-BM team, FFS.
Thank God we didn't have social media in the late '80s. One misplaced pass from Dicko or Bouldy and it would have been "See? Div 2 level."
To be fair, we did buy Dicko and Bouldy from the worst defence in England.Quote:

Mentioned it last night but I can?t see a huge gulf between Zubi and Norgaard.. :hide:Quote:

No need to hide, 7s. I'd agree with that. The former overrated at this point, the latter probably underrated.Quote:

And GG would have bitten your hand off for the 23 year old Hincappie we signed in the summer. {Wouldn't have paid 45m, mind, not without a lot of brown envelopes.}Quote:

That was awful defending last night bit I've seen enough of him to like him. He is a but of a nutter as well. That could come in handy....
None of us lot are going to the games, and you really need to to appreciate a DM.Quote:

Remember how opposing fans who only watched telly never got Gilby?
GG would have kept Dan Ballard and made him captain :-)Quote:

Love seeing the guy doing so well at Sunderland.
Remember Dixon doing a job at left back while we waited for Kenny to get off the pot so Winterburn, who was doing a job at right back, could take over there.Quote:

Something like that.
First time i ever went to Anfield (88 i think) Winterburn had to play at right back. He did ok.Quote:
