Cobbo Posted 30 November 2009 Posted 30 November 2009 Savage was not right, Savage was an arse as always. Brum barely scored more than a goal a game and thet did ok...
Koke Posted 30 November 2009 Posted 30 November 2009 This team reminds of Billy Davies' 06/07 Derby side, albeit we are a better footballing side than they were. They successfully managed to hoooooof themselves to the topflight, and although we do can be direct as well we have the personnel to change style and mix it up. It's kinda interesting than Billy Davies has changed his conservative route-one ways now that he's at Forest. This Forest team is much more watch-able than Derby of 2/3 years ago.
Lillehamring Posted 1 December 2009 Posted 1 December 2009 The brief fling with Mark Davies only served to highlight the problem.We're 3rd on merit - can't see us being there at the end of the season though. Then again, who needs 3rd when you can have 6th?!
Lillehamring Posted 1 December 2009 Posted 1 December 2009 I've got to ask... oh, that was (one of) my pet peeves last season - he played a handful of games, and every time we didn't win or oakley played a poor pass twenty people would post about how much of a god he was, and that we'd never be a decent club or get promeoted without him, that we only played decent when he played... it just got silly, much like the 'oh, we are shit if howard isn't playing' rubbish that people got obsessed with... nothing personal, it's just i thought we'd heard the last of it, then again there are still people on here blithering on about signing Fulop

Signing Davies was never an option and we were fine without him - I'm just saying that his style of play is indicative of what we could do with now. But we're 3rd and really I couldn't give a flying frig about Davies anymore.

MikeyT Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11712_6060893,00.html Derby midfielder Robbie Savage has taken a swipe at those Leicester fans who booed him on Saturday. The 35-year-old enjoyed five productive years with the Foxes between 1997 and 2002, but his success during that spell appears to have been quickly forgotten. Savage was part of a squad which appeared in two League Cup finals and cemented itself as a Premier League force to be reckoned with. He believes he deserves greater respect for the role he played during a memorable era for the club and has blasted those supporters who feel the need to jeer him. Savage said: "It's disappointing, but I don't really care. It just proves that some fans can be fickle. "I was one of their all-time best players and played in one of their best midfields ever. "Me, Muzzy (Izzet) and Neil Lennon were the best midfield the club has ever had. "When I went back to the Walkers Stadium, I got booed there as well. "All credit to the Derby fans who gave Steve Howard and Matt Oakley such a great reception. "They deserved it because they were great stalwarts for this club. "It just proves the difference between the two sets of fans."

I can think of so many more players to put in our all time XI than twat hair Savage.
Babylon Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 The difference isn't between the two sets of fans, it's between the two sets of players. I didn't see Oakley and Howard running up to the Derby fans kissing our badge... they have class, unlike Savage.

I think Robbie has quickly forgotten that when he visited Leicester for the first time after signing for Birmingham he kissed the Birmingham badge in front of the Leicester fans, THAT is why we don't like him.
pooleyLCFC Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 I he really doesnt care about it why do an interview about it for sky sports
CosbehFox Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 I never thought 'all-time' greats gave up on a team on the first day of the season.....or kissed badges in front of support without no abuse shown to him all day. I thought all-time greats don't provoke fans by doing laps of honour and choosing the City end the first one to do one in.
marbelladave Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 I don't have a problem with Robbie at all. For those of you who clearly can not read English, he never even suggested he was one of our greatest players just that he was part of our best ever midfield, which in modern times is probably correct. Sure he is a 'pantomime villain' and loves to play to the audience but for me that is all part of the fun. He has his opinions but for the most part does not take himself at all seriously, wish we had more 'characters' like him in the game...

"I was one of their all-time best players and played in one of their best midfields ever." Can't say he bothers me, he just likes attention.

Babylon Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 For those of you who clearly can not read English Ooooops.
Corky Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 One of our best ever players? Not a patch on Muzzy, Lennon and Guppy, we saw that when Lennon left and Muzzy was injured/ struggling in the 2001/02 season. Oakley and Howard appreciated what their old club had given them, and the fans too. That's why they got applauded Savage, and you got booed.
Sampson Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 If Robbie Savage thinks he is one of our best ever players, not only was he not watching Lennon's ball-winning anticts and Izzet's energy and play-making skills producing much more spectacular performances alongside him, but he also never saw Davie Gibson's perfectly weighted passes and Keith Weller's mazy dribbling skills running our midfield in the past. That's how midfielders get called all-time greats, not by running around headlessly and then showing discontent for his past side at every opportunity.
flanimal Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 Even in the '90s when Savage played for us, I never rated him then. He was OK, but he was easily the weakest link in our midfield. Zagorakis seemed a better player to me in most areas and he usually made the bench.
marbelladave Posted 29 March 2010 Posted 29 March 2010 Ooooops. Very much so, definitely a 'Robbie Savage moment'!... >_< That should teach me to engage my brain before making sarkie comments, but no doubt to the amusement of you all it probably wont. So;- "Robbie Savavage, what a c**t. In reality, apart from that obviously crass statement I've always seen him as a fun figure, to be abused and enjoyed without any great malice.

That's how midfielders get called all-time greats, not by running around headlessly and then showing discontent for his past side at every opportunity. Compared to the likes of Gibson, Izzet, Weller, Lennon he doesn't even warrant the title 'great' he was a marauding workhorse, a hod carrier for the bricklayers, a tracer to the draughtsman, a quarryman to the sculptor. I'd place him along side the likes of Taitto or Freund. As for his publicity seeking antics I take them with pinch of salt, he knows he can't get the attention through his football skills so has to resort to being a complete arsehole which of course is the mainstay of the present day media.
