This was my spot-on commentary to my missus on an England game we were watching: 'That donkey Heskey could be out here all night and he wouldn't score. Shit! He's scored!'
Why are we buying lower-league players - we've been in the premiership long enough to be competing for proven strikers. But we bought Darren Bent anyway.
Why the fuck have we signed a Serbian Ozzie gym instructor from St Leonard's Stamcroft?
I lived in St Leonards at the time and wondered the same. Saw him play once and he could shout but that was it....i thought! Bugger, thats another confession!

I moaned like mad at my son when we bought Darren Bent as I thought what a waste of money.

I couldn't believe it when I saw him play for us. My mate turned to me and said, "That's the guy who was in goal for Stamco when we saw Canvey play down there". I replied, "Nah, can't be".
When we signed Danny Green I claimed he was the best signing out of all those Powell made and he would either establish himself as a quality and regular player or move on for mega bucks sometime soon.
Although I did predict he'd have a mildly successful clothing business...
i thought john barnes would keep us up was just what we were lacking someone infront of the back four semi circle to ping the passes around.... oh and that gritty should have got the job over whats his name alan someone.....;-)
I remember joining in the "mickey" taking of "Flash" Flanagan when he first played for us. My Dad had a right go at me and said he was going to be a great player.
The rest is history though I would say, in the hope that any punishment might be mitigated, that he proved to be a much better forward than the winger he started out as.

He never lets me forget.

Either that one or when I put a tenner on down betfred that Paulie would go with the grade 4...
