Really? Learn something new everyday, as long as I can remember he was a CM, fairplay then. Good player, can't imagine him being strong aerially though.
I remember him coming through as a CB, I'm sure. Funnily enough, it was vs you lot 2 years back when I noticed him, West Ham were awful, but he was excellent spraying balls about, winning tackles etc. I could be mistaken, but I'm sure he was originally a CB.
I have only ever known Noble as a CM as well. West ham Vs Spurs 3-4 4th march 2007, looks like CM to me, and that was 5 years ago (he may have covered there some times though) West Ham: Green, Neill, Upson (Davenport 11), Ferdinand, Konchesky, Bowyer, Noble, Quashie (Blanco 80), Etherington (Zamora 83), Tevez, Harewood. Subs Not Used: Walker, Spector. Booked: Noble, Tevez, Bowyer, Neill, Konchesky, Quashie. Goals: Noble 16, Tevez 41, Zamora 85. Tottenham: Robinson, Chimbonda (Taarabt 87), Dawson, Gardner, Young-Pyo Lee, Lennon, Jenas (Stalteri 57), Tainio, Ghaly (Huddlestone 46), Defoe, Berbatov. Subs Not Used: Cerny, Rocha. Booked: Chimbonda. Goals: Defoe 51 pen, Tainio 63, Berbatov 89, Stalteri 90. Att: 34,966 Ref: M Dean (Wirral).
I'll have to trust you on that one mate, he's definitely been CM for this entire Championship season.
I could easily be wrong, just spat out 2 names of players who are alright on the ball playing deep. We'll call it a truce, unless there's any West Ham fans about!
