I had to change the tyre in the pouring rain and dried out at the folks' house before the match 😁 Funny what the memories of an 11yo are!! It must have been the 6-0 in November.

Millenniumram Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Brilliant news. Absolutely vital signing, genuinely probably the most important one we needed to make this window. He is the absolute lynchpin of our side and the key man in our midfield rebuild. Definitely getting there in that area now, but still a couple more signings needed in the centre of the park - one more defensive midfielder to control possession and replace Bird, and one more attacking midfielder to provide the goal threat and creativity we’re currently lacking (that Louie Sibley at Oxford looks good…). Good to see the initial fee at least isn’t quite as initially reported too. £500k is more reasonable for Adams, though I suspect add ons / instalments could still see it rise to £1m.

Would still love us to get Aasgard from Wigan. I think he would get 8-10 goals in our team. Ted McMinn Football Genius and Premier ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were absolutely unplayable that afternoon. Wright, Saunders, Goddard, McMinn, they ran riot. R@M and Crewton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted mcminn was on fire and turned Gary Fleming inside out and up side down. City were never in it at all. Those couple of seasons under Arthur Cox we were excellent. Teams like Liverpool held to a draw. Everton turned over when Goddard beat Southall with the best chip over ever seen outside of Nicky's fish bar in the spot. Phil Gee with the thunderbolt against Arsenal when the gunners had gone one up and we went on to win. Georgie Williams ran his heart out to try and stop Arsenal scoring . Mark Wright obliterating I think it's was Trevor Putney in front of the dug outs. Gazza sent off for Newcastle coz he got played off the park. Ferguson saying that we were the best side United had played . Then rushing home to get the green um to read about it. All the scorers in bold letters!!!!! These are some of the best derby memories . But there have been countless others too. I Truly hope the manager and board know what this club means to we the fans R@M, Hans Datdo-Dishes, The Scarlet Pimpernel and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
