It all reminds me of the Keegan days when the majestic Phillipe Albert would burst out from centre back and sweep up the field causing mayhem, this led to many fans clamouring to see him in midfield.
I hope that under Alan Pardew we will build to be competitive on some level once again.
That Ba and Cabaye are not remembered for their one great goal THAT day v Man U, as Albert and Ginola are, but for the fact that they did it many times.
