I remember that night. I might be wrong, but I seem to think that Gould had been getting a lot of stick from some fans in the weeks leading up to that triumphant performance. Some things never change, only at that time it was 'poison pen letters' whereas now you get anonymous keyboard warriors.

Think you'd be surprised how many theologians hang out on here. Heard whispers that Saddlebrains is the Archbishop of York.

Thomas Aquinas in for Thomas-Asante

His debut was awesome. Not sure we've ever had a better player.

You confuse me sometimes Wingy!

He's such a talented guy, I'm surprised he doesn't do his own DIY and car maintenance.

The mistakes and poor play were there alright in the early games, which got some people's knickers in a twist and it blinded them to the talents that were obvious to everyone else. It's often the way on here - look at how people have overlooked some of Torp's great play the other night, just...

Seems to be the mantra for all modern keepers!

Yeah they (and the team) weren't clicking, but they were not dog shit awful and they didn't deserve online abuse, to be called lazy, to be ridiculed as donkeys, or to have people offering to drive them to Istanbul. Their attributes were there to see from the start, even when the end product...

Bulkington?

This venerable thread has been going for 11 years now and I believe the OP (Wayne?) sadly passed away a few years ago. Anyone else think it might be nice to replace his avatar with an actual photo of him? Apologies if I've got it wrong, or it's not thought appropriate.

You keep passing off opinion as fact. Let's not pretend you didn't drastically underestimate the abilities of Haji and Eliis around this time last year. You weren't the only one, there were several on here giving them way too much stick when it was clear they needed time.

That's your truth, but it isn't mine. I liked him from the start, and could see the player in there. Things weren't quite coming together for him or the team as a whole, but he was not 'dog shit awful'. Shouldn't have been necessary to defend him and Ellis on here against the people who didn't...

Suspect he may have meant to type 'febrile'?

Ah that explains a lot CD. The sheer neglect of your childhood years comes across in many of your dark and bitter ramblings 😉

Two observations from this 1) I still think it's a (flexible) 4-2-3-1 not a flat 4-3-3. Rudoni was higher up than Simms on average! 2) Look at the difference in the sides - we only had our two CDs with an average position in our half, and Oxford were so narrow and deep

Never thought of that - soz mate!

Yeah nobody is worried about 'praise and disappointment'. But we had people on here a year ago giving the new players really vile abuse, of the kind that was borderline hate crime. Not saying anyone is going that far now, but there is a sense that people pile in on certain players.

First time I've watched Tats live since that horrible fall from height. The few days after the injury were such an anxious time, so it's a proper delight to see him back looking in good nick, with a spring in his step and doing what he does best. Selling defenders three dummies in as many...

Nope, but looked like it had been through many similar events in its lifetime. Probably gets launched every time we score.
