    Was it his ACL when Micheal Brown crocked him and we brought on Vaz Te to score a hattrick?

    Weirdest game of my life that. Favourite player gets demolished by a tackle that should have resulted in Brown being banned from the professional game it was that bad. And then Vaz Te, who should have been in the team alongside Butterfield for the previous 3 months (walking on a tightrope my arse with players of that talent to choose from) gets a chance to shine, he's sold six weeks later, and the manager who ignored the best talent outside the Premier League for half a season dines out on it for the rest of his career and believes he's a superstar. And we beat Leeds 4-1. But we always beat Leeds. They reckon they're rivals of Man Utd, who couldn't care less about them. Their real rivals are us and we always beat them.

    So we lost Butterfield, we lost Vaz Te, but we kept Hill. Brilliant.

    Keith, you're still an arsehole and you always were.

    Hope Jacob's alright and his son does well.

    And yes, it feels like yesterday.

    This isn't true, he's a proper family man, he looks after his own, and if he was on my side I'd feel invincible, but, for whatever reason, he was never on Barnsley's side. I am and that's why I take exception to him.

    Bloody heck I didnt know that, mate. I always thought he was a lwb. Obviously I've never seen him play or whatever but most of the reports on here and twitter etc all said his primary position was lwb!

    What a huge result that was for us that day, winning at Mansfield, near the end of season '02.
    And like this season, they'd already beaten us at Oakwell then, in December I think.

    they get compensated greatly for their exposure to criticism as long as it's related to their performance and not their personal issues I don't have a problem with it

    I would love to see a back 4, we are shipping tons of goals anyway so playing 5 defenders makes no sense at all, it's not like our full backs bomb forward that much anyway, get rid of one defender and put someone in whose more useful going forward
