I bet Angel reads the Wesley thread and thinks thank fcuk I am not there now.
Didn't he go 5 months without scoring when he arrived.
He wouldn't have survived if he did that with us now.
I remember him getting pelted by the media constantly. I've seen a couple of interviews with him and also John Gregory talking about the hard time he had adjusting when he arrived. He was basically dropped in a hotel and that was about it. All the while his pregnant wife was back home in hospital seriously ill. I remember the roar when he finally scored against Coventry, a cracking goal as well.
Yes I imagine he did but still nowhere near what he would get today with the twatters and keyboard warriors nowadays.
Best striker partnership? Little and Gray? Deano and Dalian, Dion and Julian, Carew and err Carew,Savo and Yorkie. Withe and Shaw for me.Im going to bottle it and go Brian Little and Andy Gray ( the first time) as first equal.
My favourites though were Andy Lochead and Peter Withe.
The stand out phrase in your post JP is partnership. We havent really had a good partnership for a while now, rather relying on a sole striker plus odd and sods from others.Best striker partnership?

Sorry, I see your point re partnership. No. Just my two best strikers to watch.Best striker partnership? Little and Gray? Deano and Dalian, Dion and Julian, Carew and err Carew,Savo and Yorkie. Withe and Shaw for me.
I was talking to Dan who is a lot younger than yow.
I believe you are misunderstanding the the anti Weskey posts. They are not about his goals scored but that he does'nt show any signs of becoming a competent striker.I bet Angel reads the Wesley thread and thinks thank fcuk I am not there now.

No bud.
Not misunderstanding at all. My recollection was Angel was as bad , if not worse than Wesley when he first arrived.
The passage of time and one very decent season misguides the Angel villa legend argument in my humble.
