Crazy Diamond Posted 12 September, 2011 Share Posted 12 September, 2011 What ever happened to him? Quite sad actually, he has an injury that means he may never be able to run again and had to retire. Will almost certainly have a limp according to this: http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2011/03/11/olivier-bernard-s-career-ending-injury-tale-61634-28316640/#ixzz1GICmB5IJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 13 September, 2011 Share Posted 13 September, 2011 I thought George Burley was the man for Saints. I actually punched the air when it was announced on SSN. Yep, I go along with this as my moment of weakness; I did something similar, and also remember being seriously f**king relieved when Burley stayed at the club after Wilde & Crouch ousted Lowe.

warsash saint Posted 13 September, 2011 Share Posted 13 September, 2011 Remember at the Dell, shouting at BT as he stood waiting to take a free kick. I basically shouted that he was useless & he should let someone else take the freekick (TBF he had been garbage up to then) ...... he strolled up & placed in the top corner & then went on an amazing goal scoring run that season.

Surely, by that rationale, no-one could have predicted that Huddersfield's run in would have been as good as it was? All we were doing was trying to usurp them, our run was amazing but all it served to do was keep us ahead of them. Anyway, back on topic. Me; "Chris Baird, you will never be a centre-back".

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 13 September, 2011 Share Posted 13 September, 2011 Just started a thread suggesting we sign Tamas Priskin. This seems to have been met with universal derision. This would be my first ever 'you know nothing about football' moment as my opinions have been, up until that point, perfect. Apart from the time I thought Ian Branfoot would be a welcome change from Chris Nicholl. And the time I suggested Andreas Jakobsson might turn out to be the new Svensson.

ottery st mary Posted 13 September, 2011 Share Posted 13 September, 2011 I too thought Jake Thompson would be a star......

Indeed, this whole thread could be dedicated to some of his utter nonsense from the past year or two alone. I actually went and had a read back of a few threads from summer last year, just to see what idiocy I had come out with in comparison. Quite interesting reading really; just before the start of the season last year I was wondering if Alex Chamberlain could fill the void left by Michail Antonio.....

I was extremely worried about the sceptre of administration. Not so much that we would go out of business, that concept never really registered as a genuine concern. More to the point, who we would get as potential owners; there was a feeling on here of "anyone is better than Lowe", and we had a lucky escape with the Pinnacle debacle. Thankfully we ended up getting fantastic owners after going through all the motions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
