Just watching the highlights of the 7-1 game against Roma in 2006/07.

Alan Smith was the starting centre forward that night.

Incidentally, he's still playing now, in League Two for Notts County.

Laurent Robert.

Was doing a free kick quiz on Sporcle and he was one of the answers. I used to always get him in the sticker packs back in 2004 :lol:

He was a good striker, the injury and Fergie trying to turn him in to a centre midfielder ruined him.

Remember that bloke that played for that team? You know, the one who played in that position and did that thing? He wore boots and shorts and he was around 7 inches either side of 6ft tall... you know the one.

David De Gea, he's so good i just assume everything's going to get saved so i lose track of him existing.

Didn't he move to Wolves and just get pissed all the time?

Seem to remember both of them being touted for England at one point.

I recently discovered that Emre Belozoglu is still puttering about down in Turkey. Last time I remember paying any attention to him he was signing for the Barcodes.
Given, solano, Emre, Butt, Duff, Dyer ,shearer, Owen.. that 2006 newcastle team was decent on paper.. then you look at the defense and see Boumsong and bramble :lol:

Robin van Persie. Is he still at Fenerbache??

Just 3 years ago he was scoring for fun in the Premier League and World Cup.

Tomas Rosicky. IIRC, he was basically bunking in the Arsenal physioroom for at least 2 years before making a short-lived comeback. I actually thought he had retired. :lol:

Who was the Newcastle striker that ended VdS' clean sheet run back in the day?

Peter Løvenkrands. Decent player.

I forgot Kompany existed till I heard someone mention him on a bus.
Ah yes, was talking about out clean sheet run with my mates yesterday and had totally forgotten who scored the goal than ended it, knew that he was a decent player, couldn't remember his name.

Pretty much, managed to get relegated three seasons in a row too.

They were, everyone fawning over them at one point. Looked good in a compact defence with ten men behind the ball.

Benoît Assou-Ekotto. Always thought he was ok. Currently playing in Ligue 1 with FC Metz.
