The best thing we can do as fans for Joseph is support him. Sing his name, applaud him, get off his back. He is a baby in striker terms. He gives it everything whenever he pulls a shirt on and causes a lot of hassle for defenders. Regardless of what happens next for him he is already a better signing than Dave Bamber.
Thank you, that was the one. I think my memory of events may be dodgy. There are tackles in there which don’t get given as a foul then but would be a straight red in todays game!!
Conceded any!? I think they hadn’t conceded a goal in 7 seasons…. And Hansen didn’t play in that game Arf Still mcshane was our best centre back ever too
It was me, I have this argument with my uncle every week, he absolutely loves him. My opinion has never changed, I’m not a fan, it’s just how I see it.
If Joseph had the technical ability of a Tufan, Mcburnie or Belloumi he'd be premier league without a doubt. At this level, you rarely get blistering work rate in the same package with mesmerising ability, and if they do, they tend to spend significant time out in the physio room. Yet you still need a blend of both. Players like Joseph, Slater, Coyle, et al are the glue which holds a coherent team together. They contribute as much if not more than the 'stars' in the side by providing the platform for them to go and play. City fans have always needed a scapegoat, and it's always been this kind of player. Ultimately though, even the best bricklayer in the world is nothing without his labourer, the best sous-chef is nothing without his commis, a chief still needs his Indians and it's exactly the same on a football pitch.
That was my first ever City game. My Dad was always away, but had no interest in taking me anyway. Pestered my Mum to take me. She did! Was in the well standing, had to sign up to membership to get a ticket, got a wee plastic card thing.
I thought he was great. Barging around, clattering into people, often failing to stay on his feet, non stop running…and scoring goals. I don’t understand football anyway, but loved him playing for us.
