Cascarino/Price at Arsenal. What a fantastic night!

One of the best of a great season.

Didn't Allback's goal keep us up on the last day of the season a few years age?

During that run of 4 in 7 games he scored the only goals as we beat Chelsea and Sunderland at home in the 34th and 37th games of the season (02/03). We stayed up by 3 points.

If you listen to Cas as a pundit he sounds like he was a world beater

A certain David Geddes for me, a trier but absolutely useless in my opinion, I saw him miss one sitter from about six inches once, I couldn't believe it.  Anyone remember T-Shirts bearing the slogan "I saw Geddes score"?

It was often said that Cascarino couldn't hit a sow's arse with a banjo and it was true.  I'd like to know if the same was true of Emile, trouble is, he's found to often slumped on his own arse when the opportunity comes.

A draw.

A 0-0 I assume.

I saw Geddis score a hat-trick in a 6-0 win at Notts County in the Cup around 1982!

He was a decent solid trier,who probably wasn't cut out for the main striking role. You could fault him for ability but not for effort and I shall always remember him for the 4 goals he scored in the championship winning season, specially the two against the Blues in a really hard fought game.

Heskey. He is a total and utter carthorse, and the worst signing of the lot from MON. Harewood was more use.

Didn't Geddis get a couple at home to Small Heath in the championship year?

I put Cascarino because I thought the question was who was better. So that should read Heskey as who was the worse signing. At least Cascarino didn't stink the place out as long.

Someone better tell Heskey it's his birthday otherwise he'll miss it.

Bloody hell, what a question - worse signing between those two?

I'll actually say Cascarino, as I was about 12 at the time and mostly all I knew about him (other than seeing him once play for Millwall at VP the season both teams were newly promoted) was that he seemed to score a lot, so I thought we'd signed a 20-goal a season forward, the icing on the cake. Expectation was high.

Whereas, with Heskey, I knew what we were getting and, by and large, he's performed exactly as I thought he would.
