Now Ricky can sleep well tonight now he has answered his critics - bless you Ricky - at least know some of us kept the faith!
Damn, you're right - we need to spend £10million on Nicky Maynard right this minute! I'll get on the phone to Cortese...
I didn't know that Rickie was originally a midfielder, did you..? I presume it was because of his lack of outright pace. But he reads the game so well, like Teddy Sherringham used to, that he seems to be able to do without it. I mean, there he is scoring a hat-trick against Forest, while against Barnsley, he's making goal-line clearances. But it does explain one thing - his positional sense, and his eye for a pass. No wonder he gets so many assists too. He's a class midfielder and striker in one. You won't need reminding that he cost Saints over £1M. What an absolute bargain..! Does anybody know what Matty thinks of Rickie and the current team..?
Yeah, jumping up and down before the ball has been made safe. Oh well, at least he got excited. Also note the young Barnsley supporter celebrating rather prematurely, far right.
