Optimistic Nut

Would love to see photos of Juninho squaring up to a laughing Phillippe Albert, and the one where it shows a drenched Gullit in the rain, with Shearer, Ferguson & Hughes in the dug-out.

And how can a "Favourite Football Picture" thread not involve this immortal beauty!

Three Legends....

I would have thought the "" would have shown I was being sarcastic.

The timing of that picture is absolutely incredible. Only Liam O'Brien appears to know it's a goal. No other fucker has clicked on just there. That's the best yet like. What's even more impressive is that he hasn't even taken the kick yet.

Ignoring the quotes underneath it, I like that pic.

And that stupid radar thing that comes on when there's a free-kick to measure the exact 10-yards the wall should be.

One of the first live matches I can remember watching, down to that moment.

Yeah I noticed that when I was over there. They change the camera angle to silly views for corners, free-kicks, etc. Did notice on Sky on Sunday mind they showed the Ameobi penalty from behind the taker which I'd not seen in our coverage before.

Got bored of that, so started the challenge of getting Blyth into the Football League.

Good old Freddy Shepherd rewards my Manager of the Month for October by increasing my transfer budget from £200k, to £350k. Jeez, thanks.

Not an exciting transfer window for me! No-one out, just Carlos Gamarra in on a Free. Despite not having the greatest attributes, Luque is still amazing on it for me and has 7 goals in 6 starts and 3 sub appearances. Knocked out of the UEFA Qualifier on pens to OFD Beograd, currently 6th after 10 league games (W6, D1, L3).

Or even the Libertines, "What became of the Likely Lads? What became of the dreams we had?"

Stayed in one in Barcelona for a week. £12 a night just off the Ramblas, cheap train tickets from where I was living in Spain. One of the cheapest holidays I've had and there was nothing wrong at all with the room or showers.

Would still have him here in a flash.

It's true though. Last season... Manager = Souness Assistant = Murray Coach = Saunders Coach = McDermott Coach = Clark Reserve Coach = Craig Academy = Roeder now... Manager = Roeder Assistant = McDermott Reserve Coach = Clark It's a load of f*cking sh*t.

Louis Saha was just 2 seconds short of beating the all-time France record for fasting goal in a match...held by Hibs legend Franck Sauzee.

And now I'd imagine he's on about half of what he was originally on.

Croatia 0-1 England Ukraine 1-1 Scotland Ireland 0-2 Czech Republic N. Ireland 1-0 Latvia Wales 1-2 Cyprus

Excellent point. Although Beardsley scored and made just as many if not more than Bellamy still. Ginola doesn't rival Robert in that sense.

I think we'd have still challenged Man U in 1995-6 season with or without Ginola. I don't think we'd have finished anywhere near 4th without Robert in 2002.

"It's more difficult to compare the two because Ginola was playing for PSG when we were one of the best teams in Europe, whereas Robert was at PSG at a time when we were weaker and not a European force. To compare them, we must also consider their team mates... Now, my choice would just edge towards Ginola". A lot of parallels between their times at PSG & Newcastle by the looks of that response.
