Return of the Ox?

Great memories.
1) Fantastic game for Oxo
2) Fonte's flowing locks
3) Sash kit
4) Barnard's bandage. Only man to glass himself.

 

Thanks for that. I was in the Kingsland/Northampton corner and that was a great night.

 

Doesn't matter how many times you watch that...the first Oxo goal can never go in. Amazing.

 

Bet that keeper prefers not to be reminded of that night.

 

Just checked his Wiki, to be fair he became D&R's goalkeeper and had a good career there. Plays for Margate now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Lewington

 

We do need to be careful though. I mean looking at the YouTube clips is always misleading.

 

When you see The OX as a youngster, what a talent he was.
Shame that talent has disappeared without much of a trace since he and his parents chased the cash and like others before and after him, Arsenal have let all that talent go to waste.
Would be interesting to see if we could get him back on track and see if that genuine talent is still there but I doubt we could afford his wages and damn sure he wouldn't take a pay cut to come back to SMS

 

Let's mislead ourselves a bit more shall we? It's Biffy Clyro playing the music:

 

To be fair there are five full internationals in that played that day, plus a few more that ended up as Premier League regulars, not many league one teams contain that!

 

I'm an old sentimentalist, and got a warm fuzzy feeling just seeing Guly playing for us...one of my favourite players in recent years for so many unquantifiable reasons. Oxo on the other hand needs no justification, and I would love to see him back at St Mary's, because if he's fit, he's devastating running at defenders in the same way Mane is.
Nice bit of Biffy too Chilcs.

 

Beefy said we could afford his wages.

 

Well when Beefy reveals himself to be Les Reed of SFC we'll take his word as gospel.

It's his opinion.

 

Yes I'm fully aware of that, you didn't need to point it out so obviously. But he tends to be fairly accurate with his opinion.

 

I read somewhere that West Ham were after Benteke and that Liverpool would contribute something like £40,000 a week to his wages.

Sounds like a good deal!

 

Biffy's new one, i might have to get my hands on that.

 

He's on £120,000 a week I heard.

 

I would love us to sign Benteke or Bony. I know they've both been poor for Liverpool and City (and I've been a big critic of Bony - even when City were first linked to him, I said that it would be an awful move), but I have every faith that they could rediscover their Villa/Swansea scoring exploits with a "lesser" club. And, like Chamberlain as well, both fit right into my target category of going after players who have experienced life at a big club and so might think twice about leaving us for such a club in the future (or those big clubs might think twice about trying to sign them in the future).

 

I wouldn't want Benteke or Bony here.

 

I know, I was just having a bit of fun.

 

So was I.
