Chelsea 2-4 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[Alan]

Does include me inexplicably bigging up Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, for which I can't apologise enough.

I remember a lot of us being excited about CBJ at first.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

(one of our most decorated managers?)

Please don't get him started...

Yes, so do I, you could see he had Berty Big Bollocks straight away in that Burton game.

He had ability, but what an appalling attitude.

Very unlike a United youth player ay

From that weird era I always thought Oniangue was decent and we should have given him more of a go.

And he is a Prince.

Such a weird player. So lightweight he looked like he'd float away towards Bilston.

Lambert hated him and Teixeira straight away.

 

[Lupo]

Yeah I liked him, and what an incredible playing career (one of our most decorated managers?) but he was a terrible football manager.

The beautiful grey/silver GK shirts (Italy should never have done away with them) always with his gold necklace hanging out

And a very, very strong hair cut.

And Saïss. Fucking moron.

By the time we got our shit together we'd brought in Alfred who was probably the better of the two, anyway (between Alfred and Prince, I mean).

Had the Dave Edwards ability to pop up with a goal every 4 games or so.

Yep, always reminded me of Sandy out of Monkey, took me a few years to get used to him as a baldy

 

[The Dude]

Despite him clearly being a couple of cards short of a full deck, you sort of had to like Walt. Never ever a suitable manager and I'm not sure I'd like spending *huge* amounts of time with him, but there was an endearing quality to him.

Lage was just a fucking wanker.

Also Walt was the original David Coote hater. Went ballistic at him after Villa away.

I could never bring myself to hate on Zenga. I just used to laugh at his antics on and off the pitch, he was crazy and useless - so relieved when he was sacked.

I could imagine him stealing merchandise from the club shop and selling it dirt cheap in the pubs of Wolverhampton because it was all profit, capisce?(kapeesh?)

Big Alf was on a different planet to Oniangué.

I still want to know who signed Gladon. Who watched him and thought "that's a good idea".

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Big Alf was on a different planet to Oniangué.

Agreed.

Oniangue was better than a couple of who we had at the time though, but quickly got shipped out.

Remember the madness of that window? 13 signings in about 10 days. What a time to be alive!

Not sure, but he apparently ran a local balti house.

Penn Tandoori is really good in fairness. Not sure I'd go there multiple times a week if I were a professional athlete though.

Also great times for Tim Spiers getting very upset that we sacked Ken at 11pm on a Friday. Yes Timothy, clearly that is what has happened.

 

[Alan]

2m for Gladon!

Ah, Cav and the Duck, tho.

 

[Kenny]

 

[Deano]

It was a small sample size but from what we did see of him Prince Oniangue was terrible.
