Still not worthy of a thread

All you have to do is read the comments on twitter. People really are thick like.

 

'never did me any harm'

 

Okay, we should ignore the experts then. Let them play with fire as well, because I was never burned.

The social media ramblings of the sort of people who post that generally says otherwise

Who is that player that runs up to Shearer to celebrate after the first goal?

Brian Kerr I think

Holy shit, there was a time when we were starting Brian Kerr for comfortable Champions League wins

Would never have remembered that one!

I quite liked Kerr, rarely let us down.

Yeap, remember him having a very good game vs Arsenal in the cup.

A rare Shay Given penalty save in that game.

I didn’t remember he existed until just now, weird.

Was that not McClen?

I seem to remember Kerr and Acuna playing in CM vs Arsenal in the cup when we drew 1-1.

Thankfully the club put an end to such wonderful nights.

Just wasn't worth it at the expanse of possibly doing a Leeds.

Much safer to do the bare minimum and have just the two relegations in 10 years. 

We seem to have a whole clutch of youngsters who got games for the first team but then plummeted down the league's. Kerr, Matty Pattisson, Adam Campbell, Ryan Donaldson, Martin Brittain. Probably loads others.

And then some players like Bradley Orr, Marcus Maddison, James Coppinger who barely got near the first team but have had solid careers

Don’t man

The early 2000's were wild. We had a clear best 11 but then also had so many players who subbed in that looked class. Likes if Acuna, Viana, LuaLua etc would be our best players by miles now.

Lua Lua wasn't that good was he?

He wasn't a prolific goalscorer but he had plenty of pace and quick feet. I certainly enjoyed watching him 

Lua Lua wasn't that good was he?

No, but he’d probably still be our best player now. Probably similar in ability to ASM actually.

When he scored against us.

Loved that first game of the season against West Ham on Monday night when he scored two and him and Viana were absolutely class.

4-0, could've been 6 or 7.

Yeah I loved that West Ham game.

There was a game where SBR made 3 subs at the same time and they all combined to score. I'm sure it was Stephen Glass, Lua Lua and one other

Was McClen. He played a handful of games around that time. Kerr was a late sub in the 0-3 replay though apparently.

Remember Glass scoring against Man Utd after coming on as sub, might've been that.
