Better than decent, especially after he shaved his head.

Sidibe was a competent right back, whereas Deulofeu was our biggest creator of chances for Lukaku.

I’ll never forget Naismith’s perfect hat trick against Chelsea. Can’t believe it was nearly 10 years ago.

Yeah, I’m having Naismith as just about better than decent.

Steve Watson also.

Tony Grant

Nuno Valente

Thank fuck for that. I'm still raging about your Joey Yobo decision yesterday

Way too good.

Played every minute in a season we finished 6th didn’t he?

Think he might have meant Gary Naismith (LB) - sp. Naysmith), not perfect hatrick vs Chelsea Steven Naismith…

How many times did he even play? I remember a long distance banger against Standard Liege and nothing else.

His quads were absolutely gigantic.

Resurfaced for wearing tuxedos to manage whatever club he was managing.

Folk legend for sure.

I can’t even remember why it fizzled out.

Lescott left the season after he took Yobo’s starting CB slot. Jagielka was still recovering from his injury, we bought Distin and Heitinga and brought in Neill on a free.

I always thought Yobo was better than Heitinga, who I never particularly liked, but maybe that wasn’t the case in 2009-10.

Anyway, Yobo was a super player overall.

Remember when they called him Grantona. Proper of its time nickname.

Always sounded like he needed to blow his nose.
