Nathan Baker - Sold

[He wears a magic hat]

Did we pinch the chant from Leeds? Not a fan of using other teams chants, but it's good he's doing well. Everyone loves a wholehearted defender.

That song is over 40 years old and was originally sang about Brian Little. Hence my user name

Have to say I don't remember that song being used for Brian, it was always 'Brian Little walks on water...'

There definitely was a Brian Little wears a magic hat song.

Get well soon Nathan. Pulled hamstring in warm up

[He wears a magic hat]

Brian little' magic
He wears a magic hat
He plays for Aston villa
And lives in a council flat
He scores with his left foot
He scores with his right
And when we play against the blues he scores all fuckin night

Must admit I don't remember hearing it on the terrace but I do remember my dad teaching me a youngster probably no more than 7 or 8 at the time

Get well soon Nathan. Pulled hamstring in warm up

When I checked the line up yesterday I laughed loudly (at a wedding. Thankfully not during the ceremony itself) when it said Baker got injured in the warm up. It's not that funny, but it's that sort of exhausted, inappropriate laugh we'll all occasionally do. As if to say "are you fucking kidding me!??"
Who the hell did this lad get on the wrong side of in a previous life? He's cursed.

Is he fit for tomorrow?

[BOB MANSFIELD]

That's a very good - and very frequent  - question. Sites say YES.

There very well may have been, pw, but I certainly don't remember it being sung on the terraces

Always rated Baker. He came in very young in the premiership. No hiding places there for a centre back, as we all know. Sure, he had at least one howler most games, but he did ok and is certainly equipped for the championship. He's definitely not a shirker, but him and Clarke together were just too inexperienced as a partnership. Both players, for me, did better with a more experienced centre back alongside them.

[wittonwarrior]

ooh that missed header came back to haunt us at the end.

Ugo head with that free header.

Clarke? Sorry, who?

Looked to be in some discomfort with his back again at the end of the game
