Best No.4 since 1999 - read first post before voting

  • Total voters
    105

I still can't get my head round this voting system.

Does it mean we could have the same player in the squad twice with different numbers? o_O

No. It Monty gets in as no,4 and no.17, the 17 place would then go to the second placed no.17, as has already been explained.

Keep up :-)
 
gone for monty, gets a lot of stick but I like him. will always remember him in no 4 even tho he wore other nos

I have always thought Nick Montgomery was hard done by. I would rather have him in place of Doyle any day of the week!

Hard done by????? He was paid handsomely for 10 years for not being a footballer. If any votes ought to be justified before counting they are those for this numpty who lacked all the basic skills of his profession.

I'm afraid old crazy legs Davies is the one for me. At a higher level than most of the others played, I didn't think he was half as bad as some made out. He dropped some bollocks but did have pace and strength to counter this.

Justification enough?

Davis had some Premiership games where he was excellent. He and Jags made Tevez look like a schoolboy at Upton Park, they were too fast and strong for him. What was our defensive record (and points per game) with them playing together?

He was also a surprisingly decent passer and could thread the ball into midfield. His concentration let him down though, and he was always likely to clumsily get himself injured.
 
I asked rhetorically whether a poll could die of shame. We have the answer. I have booked the poll a first-class ticket on the next flight to Switzerland. Let it slip away quietly and with dignity.
 
It's an interesting but little known fact that the great Bob Dylan once went to the Lane to watch the mighty Blades. Montgomery happened to be 'playing'. It made such an impression on the great man that, whilst supping his post match pint of Pale Rider in the Fat Cat, he picked up his guitar, strummed a few chords, and was inspired to write:

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

The Maestro, of course, went on to secure world wide fame. Wonder what happened to Dylan?

Well, the no.3 slot was as close as it was possible to be - there was a large spread of votes and in the end Quinn beat Armstrong by just one vote to enter the dream squad.

The dream squad now is as follows:

1. Paddy Kenny
2. Matt Lowton
3. Wayne Quinn

On the nightmare side, we need to have a run off as Flitcroft, Nicholson and Williams all failed to get a vote. That will be done in a seperate thread.

Now it's the turn of the no.4's and there is a few new rules:

1. I have made it a public vote: this is to get the comedians who vote for the likes of France and Nosworthy to come out of the closet. Also, I am designating people as obvious nightmare candidates. Anyone voting for them will have their vote disallowed unless they post in the thread a reasoanble justification for their vote. For no. 4 my designated nightmares are Davis and Higginbotham.

2. As before you are voting for the time the players in question wore the shirt. To help, below are the times the players wore other shirts, so you know what you are voting for:

Montgomery: wore various shirts from 2000-2003, put on the transfer list by Warnock and "demoted" to no. 17 in 2005. Got no.4 back in 2009

Short: given no 24 in the PL season 06-07, though he only played in the League Cup

Cotterill: started off as no 12 when we signed him in the second half of 07-08 and given no.11 at the start of 09-10 before we flogged him.

3. Ryan Hall is on the poll but I don't expect him to get any votes. As he has only played one game it would be a little unfair for him to then possibly enter the nightmare team. He will thus get an exemption from that team even if he gets no votes.

You bugger off for a couple of weeks (luckily only missing 1 goal and no clean sheets) and THIS happens.

I think we should retire the No4 shirt immediately as it obviously reeks of shit.

Just you wait until you see how Helios has fared!

Well that took some finding. Didn't realise you got allocated a number for laying on the treatment table/sunbed.

How James Thomas can keep the money pinching, lazy arse, bollockless twat out of the nightmare squad is beyond me!

As an aside, 16 days of Greek sun and I still look like Pete Murphy doing Bela Lugosi's Dead at the side of the centuries worst No 9.
