    No. Every City fan will say he was fantastic for one month. It was November (09???). He ran the show vs Man City and Chelsea(?). After that. his finale was the best ever goal celebration vs Man City away (on boxing day same year?).
    Definitely overated at Weir bar

    True, but from memory it was only a tap-in. Mannone and Stewart did all the work in the build up. Was still a great moment though!

    Ok I win the best 'overrated (by himself)' story.
    This also involves Bullard
    A relation of one of our boarders was on a home visit after living daaarnth sarth for many years. He has no interest at all in football. While he was at a bit of a reunion in Beech Tree, a certain ****y cheesy cockney geezer happened to be there and was trying be too cheeky with the ladies in his reunion group and 'crossing the boundary'. It got to the point whereby our 'relation' challenged him as he was actually been a real ****er by this stage.
    Cheesy Cockney stood up to him and came out with 'do you not know who I am?'
    The fantastic thing was he absolutely had no idea. He was very use to celebrities darn saarth, so totally unimpressed and responded with something like, 'I haven't a clue'. Cheeky cockney gradually wimpered away,

    Ben Arfa was well overrated, but for me Gaston Ramirez was the worst of the two.

    Ask this question a few months ago and I'd have said Hudd. In our last relegation season the media kept bleating on about him being too good for us when he was absolutely ****ing turgid. But he's playing great now.

    So I'd say Snodgrass, with special mention to Stuart Green.

    Can't remember his name exactly but we once spent quite a bit on someone from Notts County and I thought he was ****e.
    Was it mcparland or something like that.
    I still think we should get our money back

    Don't know if I'm confusing overrated with sh**e.
    Think he was once called the black George Best!!!
    You often hear the saying not fit to lace his boots, I'd say not fit to wipe... you know the rest.

    You're definitely confused, the 'black George Best' was Alex Dyer. Palmer was a defender so calling him that would be a bit weird.

    Yeah Ian / Iain. Eddie Grey broke our transfer record to sign a striker, played him on the wing and was then confused as to why he was ****e.

    We broke the record again a few days later to sign TWS gobshite Swan.

    Nothing wrong with Ben Arfa - just got totally fed up with Brucie **** negative defensive tactics and thought **** it and packed his bags

    Ah, fading memory! Thanks for that, I stand corrected. Still don't think either of them tore up any trees.

    That would have been worth dragging ourselves out of the pub early, or at least start drinking earlier.. actually would probably have all gone wrong.
