Spot on, son, spot onI don't agree with compilations showing selected errors but lets be honest Gomes was pretty fucking shit. At his worst he was an utter liability. I'm amazed he is still a Premier League keeper to be honest. Look at how shit he was in the 4-1 v Watford.
It always irked me that Gomes seemed to have a big fanboy crowd and many seemed to give Robbo abuse who was many times more reliable.
Erik the Viking was good, but an obnoxious Norwegian cunt (tautology, I know).The reason we bought Gomes was because of his form in the UEFA Cup. He is great when on form, but suffers from a rush of blood to head...Lloris is better temperamentally but not as great a shot-stopper. Lloris is the better keeper overall, no question. He reminds be a lot of Erik the Viking, who was quality.
Benny's tracking back was non existant
Arry used to pull his hair out (not Benny's)
OkBenny was quality for us in that side because he started everything from the back, allowing us to move up the pitch effectively without going long. His ability to turn a winger inside out and then ping a ball into an advancing midfielder was very very useful. Not sure there were many better full backs available then who would have made us push on any more.
He's having a good loan. Hopefully see the back of the cunt soon.Fazio was/is dogshite to be honest, he's got to be up there. What a donkey.

Metgod had an impossible task. Bought in to replace Hoddle's creativity ( I think ? ) and got injured early on ( think his main contribution was hitting the bar from a free kick at United or similar ) he went pretty quickly after El Tel arrived and preferred Terry Fucking Fenwick. I seem to remember Metgod turning up in a Feyernord team when they knocked us out of Europe in the Peter the Taxi era a few years down the road. He bossed that game I think. Which showed our decline in a short period....Anyone else remember Jonny Metgod?
Motty on MOTD called him "imposing"!!

Hmm..
In 93/94, we lost 1-0 at the lane, and drew 1-1 at Highbury - we didn't meet them in a cup
In 94/95 Ossie got sacked before we played them
Even in 92/93 under Clemence/Livermore, we beat them both times, but they were 1-0 and 3-1.
The only other Ossie big win was 5-0 to Oldham at home in the early stages of 93/94. We were 3-0 up by 10 mins in that one, so could be that?
Tramezzani made too many fucking appearances.Has Paolo Tramezzani made an appearance yet?
Jeez, and some people moan about Ben Davies... he was Cafu compared to Tramezzani!
Cant help it
Saw your name as the poster, saw you had Son as number one on your list, and then saw the 16 disagrees. You get people hook, line, and sinker don't you?

les Ferdinand
Couldn't play football (no idea but could jump high) and Ive never forgave him for starting that war- he had to get himself shot.
Put West ham out of the cup in the pouring rain at the Boylen not all badWish I cd give you 10 agrees for Berti
IMO our worst ever player
Gave the term 'journeyman ' a bad name
Wonder how much we paid him
Total cunt
I noticed Rebrov getting some stick
He was a disappointment true but I thought a tidy player and not his fault that we didn't have a particularly good side at that time
I saw him score a decent goal at Coventry and even though we lost (2-1 I think) he was the stand out player on the pitch (not difficult I suppose) and some Sky Blues fans I got chatting with admitted as much
