I used to think thar but if Sordell had anything about him he'd have made the change of manager a chance for a new start. Failing in that he should have shown at Charlton just how wrong we all were. He's done nothing. He either hasn't got it or has list ficus utterly. Maybe he earned enough from his transfers and wages to not need to care ... or maybe he's just thick.

I think he had potential but then the glimpse of stardom and all it's trappings turned his head and he has forgotten what got him to that place to start with. Not the only player in a multitude of sports to do so and certainly won't be the last.

Certainly not the sort of character we need at the club

Absolute waste of space. And I do blame Coyle for signing him. I don't think he was ever anything special when you look at his record. His reputation was artificially boosted by another poor manager in Stuart Pearce who kept inexplicably picking him for England U21s.
To spend over £3million was beyond comprehension. We can only hope some of it was based on goals/appearances, staying up or whatever, and that we don't have to pay it. Bet we're still spunking cash away on his wages.

I recall that he had spent the previous fortnight trying to get Wilfred Zaha (who, tbh, I'd never heard of back then) to sign. We were quoted £4.5m and we stalled at £4m or similar.

It was like a last minute "I have this cash in my pocket and I need to sign somebody" deadline signing.

You have to think that, once he arrived at the club, Coyle saw that he'd bought a pup. We were in desperate need of a goalscorer, we'd just bought one for £3m and he played him what, 3 times in that struggling period ?

That, I'm afraid, was 100% the fault of St. Owen.

Kenwyne Jones has only played forur games for Stoke this season. Probably want too much money for us but he used to give me the heebies running at our defence.

Playing one upfront he'd be the sort of player we'd need

As you say though we couldn't afford him

You don't ask though and you don't get. Maybe a loan?

Kenwyne Jones was always the guy I saw as the natural successor to Kevin Davies. At least if we carry on lumping aimless high balls forward we might stand a chance of winning one of them.

Not sure I rate Kenwyne Jones, although I do enjoy saying his name.

That was the worst thing about *that game*. Getting ripped to pieces by Kenwyne 'F*cking' Jones, and John 'C*nting' Walters.

Nice try Pru, but the worst thing about that game was the result.

I mean yes, the above was bad, as was the fact that Stoke seemed to have 2 fans for each one we did ... and we failed to sell our allocation ... and Robert Huth existed, and continues to exist ... and I spent a small fortune ... and a lot of hopes were burnt ... and Mrs bobo came with me and started having opinions .... but 0-5. THAT was the worst.

That and Stoke played some belting football. We couldn't even beat them with the long ball stick. Set of bastards.

Oh My God. Mrs Spot got those a few months back... I remember quietly watching Match of the Day whilst waiting for the Football League Show to come on, and out she came with "hmmmm that Jose doesn't half know how to wear a proper coat, unlike that Arsene, now he looks like he's just climbed into an overgrown puffer condom".
I mean, never mind that she was right, but having opinions about football, you never know where it might lead.
That's not a leopard!

I remember we had a decent shout for a penalty at 0-0, might be what Dan is on about, and then from there never a more 1-sided bumming will you see. *Shivers*
