Idrissa Gueye - now gone

[Gareth]

NRC gets the vote over Gueye purely based on the laughter around the ground whenever he got one on one with the keeper - it's my abiding memory:-)

Against Chelsea in a nil nil at VP, as I recall. I was in the Trinity. What a chance

[Louzie0]

So farewell then Idrissa Gueye
You had two names
Gana was the other
But you only had one number.


Eric J Thribb 17 1/2

Very good!

I was in the UT for that and no exaggeration, I started to get up out of my seat in excitement, saw it was him and sat back down before he shot as you just knew.

[OCD]

Injury time too if I remember correctly.

Was surreal, some screaming obscenities at NRC others crying with laughter at the inevitability of the ineptness that was about to occur.  The only thing comparable laughter wise was when Bellamy did his hamstring whilst in chief bellend mode for the greatest one club city that play in black & white in the north east of England

[Tony Erdington]

I'm going to miss him.

Bannan going up for a header against Zigic is another time you could hear laughter around the ground.

I had an identical moment in the WC in 2010, against Algeria IIRC. Heskey through with the keeper one on one and at 4-30am the pub rose in excitement in that familiar England desperation of beating a poor team with a spawny late winner ( which never happens). . I had time to add the aside " calm down, it's  Heskey" to my boss and like a remote controlled doll he hit the ball into the keeper's midriff.

I hope he fails miserably, that's what we all want isn't it? Theresa player there somewhere though.

[KRS]

Not off to a great start in his debut for Everton...fouled an Espanyol player on the edge of the box to concede a penalty from which they scored to win the game 1-0. He still looks completely out of place in a Premier League team.

[Alex77]

Apparently a man of the match performance today against Spuds. A summary of the beeb notes:

"An absolute terrier in defensive midfield for Everton. A brilliant lunging dive in front of Alli in the second half which caused the England midfielder to rush his strike was a great example of his tenacity."

[Matt Collins]

He's a really good player for me. Not top class. But anyone would have looked shit for us last year

[OCD]

It's always tough for a player to have their first season in the Premier. I suspect he'll be a star for them this season. He would have been a good buy for us if we hadn't been a complete mess on and off the field.

Agreed 200% mate he would have been an asset for us this season alongside Tish..........
