Nah.
Past it mate.
Good turn on the Karaoke in the Hardwick Suite at half time

I think it’s fairly common knowledge that we were interested in him under Southgate. There were a few others who turned out alright too, like Arshavin.

Wasn’t his name on a list photographed under Strachans arm, and didn’t it include Jack Wilshere too? Who else was on the list?

The Strachan era was absolutely tragic.

It brought us Barry Robson and he was brilliant, just a shame he was in his 30s he was head and shoulders above the rest

I agree he was the one bright spot. Excellent player for us and got sent off on my wedding day for chinning Linvoy Primus

I remember that game very well!

 

[TeaCider]

Always liked him.

But I do think it's a funny little factoid that he won the 2018 World Cup playing as France's main number 9 without scoring or even managing a single shot on target.
That must be a unique stat for a World Cup winning striker.

I don’t, was too busy trying to improve my new wife with woeful moves on the dance floor at our reception. Watched the highlights the day after though... the game that is, not my drunken mating routine

I think it finished 2-2

it did - If I’m not mistaken we were winning 2-1 and they then got a penalty when Robson got sent off which allowed for a very late equaliser.

It might have been now you mention it. Either way, was a character and a half, great leader to n the porch despite only briefly being captain. Chipped in with quite a few goals too.

That goal against hull was world class.

Was a blinder. Remember Willo Flood scoring a cracking goal from outside the box too floating it in over the keeper.

It was 100% a very poor cross!
