Jonathan Bond

I don't want him to go on and have a brilliant career because we'll never hear the end of it on here

Sorry JB I hope you continue to fail

 

Jeeeez it wasn't exactly a routine cross. What he should have done was to stay in his goal

 

There really is nothing 'told you so' ish about my posts. After all, it's far easier to predict failure than to spot a diamond in the rough. It's just that I always found his regular clangers LOL funny, and I can just enjoy them far more now that he isn't our problem. I'm thinking of compiling a youtube clip of them all with the Pink Panther music that plays every time Inspector Clouseau works his magic.

Looks like he has been dropped from the England U21 squad

 

Sold at the right time its seems.

 

He's not eligible anymore, same with Butland.

 

In fairness so has Sir Stanley Matthews.

 

Whilst we're on the topic of the England under-21s, I've been perplexed as to why Hoban hasn't received a call up to them. Looking at the under-21 squad that went to the recent u-21 Euros, I'd say that Hoban is comfortably head and shoulders above Michael Keane and yet wasn't considered. I know I might be wearing yellow-tinted spectacles but even without them I'd say Hoban is better than Keane

 

Hoban plays for the Repbulic of Ireland

 

He plays for the Ireland U'21s.

 

:dismay::dismay::dismay::dismay:

 

Now now, we have a small enough player pool as it is.

 

Could be a spectacular whoosh attempt....

 

If it was me, I'd certainly try and claim it !

 

I did want to wait until I had a few more bites but I'm that bored of waiting I might as well end it. It's also a good trial-and-error experiment for me seeing as I'm writing the City match day thread...

 

They did offer it to me but I said I'd be too busy, what with flying the players up there.

 

He has just signed on loan for Gillingham until January. He probably regrets not signing that contract Watford offered him now.

 

Another following the loach route from international stardom to oblivion.

 

Don't blame him for leaving, he was never going to get game time and he wanted to play regular football - good luck to the lad, hopefully it works out better at Gillingham. Still only 23 so plenty of time to work his way back up.
