    But George knew, of course.
    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.}

    Hinchappy, first season in the PL, 2nd/3rd choice for 2 positions, been injured, often plays with the B team, makes a mistake and suddenly we don't think he's worth making permanent. Jeez.

    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, I think we all mentioned those errors. Wes called Zubimendi a **** and said it wasn't the first time.

    However, we trust those players. When someone is excellent for years you accept the odd mistake. When someone is new and 'on trial' you are going to notice the errors.

    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....

    Zubi still better, of course. Like any signing, he needs time before we see the best of him.
    None of us lot are going to the games, and you really need to to appreciate a DM.

    All the UK, Fr and SP journos are saying he's a bargain. Dagos saying if he'd signed for RM and played like he is for us, their manager wouldn't have lost his job.

    Remember how opposing fans who only watched telly never got Gilby?

    GG would have kept Dan Ballard and made him captain

    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.

    Something like that.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    We lost.
