    I'll be honest - As much as Bellamy was a grade A **** - Souness was a dead man walking the moment he started his **** with him. Bellamy was a huge part of how we played.

    There was definitely a huge change when Bellamy left - he was the perfect foil for Shearer, and without him not only did we lose his energy and goals, but Shearer had far more to do when he was too old to do it.

    A perfect example of Souness's shouting and slamming doors approach backfiring. Shepherd decides we need a disciplinarian cos he thinks Robson couldn't control all these loose cannons, yet they were fine under Robson and under Souness they're slagging him off on live TV and fighting on the pitch.

    I can show you a thread from 4 years ago where some were saying he should be in the England squad.

    I said this to Ben 10 last night. Likewise Darlow, Lascelles, Gayle have all performed previously for the jobs they were brought in to do. They just weren't upgraded.

    Us Moderators have access to the original archives. Roy can’t edit those. I have the ones where he claims Sean Longstaff should be sold for 50million to Man Utd as his brother Matty is a much better player.

    To be fair to him, Matty may be the better player but it's like being school captain and picking your last player at lunch time between the fat kid and the nerdy lass that gets bullied by the popular lasses <laugh>

    In four years I went from being skinny and handsome to fat and ugly.

    I was that fat kid. And the nerdy lass ended up being my wife.

    Nerdy lasses always turn about to be fit and filthy. All them dark tendancies.

    I remember that and not long before that there was a shout for Colback who actually did get into a squad!

    I’m going for Thauvin….little prick had no interest in being here, only came cause his agent got him a big fat contract. What’s worse is he turned out a decent player once he ****ed off…..

    Defo one of the stupidest transfers we’ve made. Told us twice he didn’t want to play here and we pressed on by persuading him with money. Had no interest and came for cash. Good player but pointless when they don’t want to come.

    In 2014 Jack Colback only missed out being in the England squad because of injury and was being compared to Pirlo.

    In 2017 Chelsea wanted Lascelles from us

    A couple of years ago Man Utd were on the verge of a £50m bid for Sean Longstaff.

    A couple of years with us and we take them from hero to zero.

    Apply the above to Luuk De Jong too.

    Cant say the same about Jon Dahl Tomassen though as we mismanaged him and demanded far too much of him when he was too young.

    Luuk De Jong has been absolutely gash for Barca and was bang average for Seville, who are both better sides than we were.

    I think the kid is just **** and only played well in the Dutch part time league.
