There's quite a bit of evidence that would suggest Milner's ankles and joints are made of a hard mahogany-type wood, so I doubt he even felt it.

Running, effort, winning the ball, passing well, vision, game awareness, plain boots.
Old school shit.
The useless cunt.
And a new record for assists in CL.
So passé
Still find the re-signing of Staunton quite odd, even if it was a free transfer
Should never have been sold in the first place.
Lets get this back on track with some looooove for Milner. Missionary position only!
The "Sold Too Soon" thread has probably been done, but I was always a bit unhappy that we let Beardo go, given the subsequent years he performed at a high level for Everton and Newcastle.
Agreed
Oh fuck yeah. He was livid wasnt he.
Heh.
He fell out with Dalglish. Shame.
But Kenny left anyway. Souness sold him.
Overpaying? Er......what?
Sounds more like something Dreamy would say.
I must say, I'm enjoying Dreamy resurrecting his old Forum persona: the no-holds-barred, consensus-wrecking, straight-talking, giving us the hard facts and making us confront the difficult truths, one.
He did it for a while a few years ago and it was equally hilarious. Even if he's still not sure if he's objective or subjective, because he doesn't know what they mean.
It's a wonder.
Eh . .. what do they mean?
Peter Hague had a few entertaining meltdowns. I think one of his dog-whistles was Rodgers and the transfer committee, and there was another where he belatedly realised he was presenting two diammetrically opposed opinions and was essentially arguing with himself.
Nothing on the scale of an Original Dreamy or spider-neil, though. Like we could get that lucky.
Yeah I do remember he always posited that anyone good was signed by the committe anyone bad was signed by the manager. Or the other way round. He often used selected information to back his case.
If I recall, he didn't use any information at all, just had a list of bad signings (= Rodgers alone) and good signings (= Transfer committee, no input - or possibly even active opposition from Rodgers)
Or was it the other way around?
Shows you how persuasive he was.
Sounds like a man who doesn't compromise on principles. We need more like that!!
There was a persistent rumour at the time that Souness did it largely on Kenny's advice.
In fairness to the guy he acknowledged publicly on here that his posts were going OTT too often and said he was leaving the forum for that reason. I'd had the occasional run-in with him myself, but I thought he did himself credit in the way he left.
Hmm. I remember when the euphoria around Kenny's second coming was somewhat tempered for me by thinking about some of the truly horrible transfer decisions he had made while managing Newcastle. Nobody's perfect, not even The King, but some of those calls were appalling.
And then we got Charlie Adam, Downing and Carroll.
