I was thinking earlier about when the first thing Tigana did was get rid of the horse, a big decision at the time.
I remember being disappointed but also excited by what seemed to be a potential revolution taking place. Anyway one game in and we could all see why the decision was made not only because of Saha but also the way we played our football.
As I say it was a big decision to get rid of a hero at the time and I'm sure many would have been dead against it.

I was sad to see the Horse go, thought it was ill-reward for his efforts, but soon revelled in the Saha spectacle. Call me fickle if you like.
Wasn't he the reason that cookie ended up in a car crash?
You could say it was Horses for courses. But then again. 094.gif
The Saha spectacular was great when he wasn't injured but he was slightly prone to picking up knocks and muscle injuries. The Horse on the other hand would run through brick walls for us. Each had his virtues and I remember both with respect.
PS I have forgotten where Geoff Horsefield's career took him to after Fulham, anyone remind me?
I think it was as much to do with burgers and fags as anything.
Oh for the Tigana team now, I don't think we'll ever see the like again.
Rumour had it at the time (prior to the car crash I believe) was that Horse was all over Cookies wife, nothing ever substantial though.
He went to Birmingham from us I believe.
Similar to the Goma rumour, then (allegedly).
Indeed, all go back then lol
Geoff Horsfield is my favourite Fulham player of all time
I have a feeling we may see a similar thing done with McCormack. He's easily one of the best players in the division, but Jokanovic may look at him and decide it's not possible to defend from the front. Think back to Jokanovic's Watford side: Deeney, Vydra and Ighalo were absolute workhorses.
I'm not sure that Tigana's side would do as well now as teams are all a lot fitter now and all on special diets etc
