Good shout <awe> he was terrible but still, he played for us <awe>

Notice nobody has mentioned Owen <whistle>
There's been a few stretches in here but calling Michael Owen a rubbish player would definitely be one.

On Kluivert the only Champions League game I saw at SJP was against Barca when we lost 2-0. Titus managed a classic howler for Kluivert to tap into a basically empty net and instead of celebrating he just did a fairly apologetic shrug towards our corner. I like to think he signed for us to continue his apology...

Mentioning Pearce we should have a sub category of players who lunged into tackles without thinking . Saylor, Kilkline and Smith .

I was going to add Jonas to that list. In his later years he'd always just barge into the back of people - as if he'd forgotten how to stop once he finally got up to speed tracking someone.

I like Colback. He's clearly a toon at heart, not his fault he has all of the footballing talent of an empty coke bottle.

I was speaking to my old boss yesterday who's a Man U fan, he even said (without any promoting) that Colback has regressed. Let's face it he was pretty average at his 'peak' so if he's regressed we're really f***ed <laugh>

I remember playing fifa 2004 at a mates house, signed him for us on there and was scoring absolute belters with him. Went home turned on sky sports news and it was the yellow ticker that we had signed him.. had to pinch myself as I'd thought I'd fell asleep playing fifa for a second <awe>

Still love him for that header against Chelsea in cup

Had something similar with both Vuckic and Santon. I'd signed them for years on FM, was so f***ing excited when we got them.

No, I hate him because he's f***ing w***, but the local lad thing pisses me off because there's playing for Sunderland, and then there's the celebrations and s*** like that in the photo.

We signed Vuckic at 16, he wasn't even on FM until we signed him <laugh>
