I remember when the poster hoyed it up on here that he'd asked for a transfer in writing and has nashed off to Birmingham on a Saturday after a home match.

He got absolute pelters until the story broke a day or two later.

Was it magcatcher Hutch?

[The Situation]

Hard to believe we were in 6th place, 4 points off Chelsea in 4th when he handed the transfer request in.

I think we beat Blackpool in the next game and then didn’t win for the rest of the season!

Its been some fall the last 9 years mind.

Your sentiment is right, but we won 3 times, most noticeably a 3-0 win at West Ham on the last day of the season, which led to the well worn phrase "wa finished tenth y'know"

There was a home game with Bolton a few weeks before he left and his attitude was stinking. Cattermole and Henderson were going berserk at him.

 

[Scootsie]

One of the very few time’s I’ve been genuinely gutted to see a player leave us.
