    Now we've had our fair share of ex-players scoring against us over the years, but could next season be even worse?

    Assuming we don'y but big Andy, there could be the following in the Prem:

    Carroll
    Nolan
    Guthrie
    N'Zogbia
    Bellamy
    Duff
    Oba Martins (or has that fallen through?)
    Owen (if he gets that 'special offer')
    Barton
    Enrique
    Milner
    Ireland
    Saha
    Parker
    Bassong

    That's a lot of players for me to put a Jedi curse on, so I'm not promising anything.

    Have I missed anyone? (I'm not counting Given, Jenas or Dyer)

    Bit harsh on Guthrie, thought he was brilliant at times for us last year! Always liked Milner too, just not at the euro's!

    I admire your positivity - but in my experience, a totally crap ex-player is still a goalscoring threat against us.

    On a slightly different note who out of that list would you most hate to score a last minute winner against us?

    I'm going for Owen, closely followed by Bramble.

    Good spot, didn't even have Bramble.

    Mine would be Owen <grr><grr><grr>
    Followed by Jose - if it put them above us into 6th place <grr><grr>
    Followed by Insomnia <grr>

    Nah, Tiote will slip him a pork pie early doors. That should keep him occupied.
