wormy Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Emre is a weird one for me. Always had a soft spot for him as a player when I was younger but looking back I don't like that I did. Similar to Dyer's feelings, you have to think there's no smoke without fire. The number of times he was accused whilst with us, and that the Turkish FA thought it clear-cut enough to make him the first player they punished for racism.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The way the club used Dyer as well being the ‘high profile black guy’ in the team as well. Seems shoddy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Got caught up in my general awkward feelings for Emre I (wrongly) didn't even delve in to that side of things. We've always had some shit characters at the club, that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Emre accused of being racist more than once whilst he was at us? I can only remember the Yobo incident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Venison looks ripped - and barely recognisable. Elliott, on the other hand, looks absolutely no different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 When I grow up I want to be Laurent Robert. His life seems to be a combination of playing tennis, playing golf, hosting barbecues and he’s now sunning it up in a luxury hotel in Monte Carlo around the pool with his family. Coolest 40 something bloke in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Les Ferdinand scored more goals for Newcastle than spurs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 41 league / 50 total goals in two seasons at Newcastle and 33 league / 39 total in five and a half seasons at Spurs. Also, I reckon the 12 PL goals he scored in his season at Leicester (his best season after leaving us), could well be a record for someone his age? He turned 37 during that season.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Always interested to see what he’d have been like if he’d stayed. Remember a game where he played sweeper at Highbury and we drew 0-0, he was class. Might have been his last game for us even. Karelse & Marcelino even played well that day.

Yorkie Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 On the topic of random defenders, does anyone know why Helder wasn't more of a success here? Established international who played for top clubs, but didn't make an impact here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I thought he was good looks like he might have been quite injury prone though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I thought he was good looks like he might have been quite injury prone though. This is how I remember him. Injury prone but good when fit.
