The Ricky Van Wolfswinkle Effect

ijjysmith · October 5, 2014

Following on from the successful Bogey Teams (http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/bogey-teams.70070/) thread, why does it seem that new players always score their first goal against us?

RVW
Ulloa
Falcao

Any others stick out?

Matic scored his first Chelsea goal against us this season.

Soon to be renamed 'Romalu Lukaku effect'.

I really hope Rom starts producing soon...I really want him to. He could be a powerhouse.

was gerrard's free kick in the derby his first goal against us as well?

don't remember him scoring against us before

remember when we lost 4-1 to arsenal's youth team in the league cup.

was it quincy ousu-obeye (sp?) who got a brace - doubt he scored many for them. think a few young arsenal players have grabbed their first vs us tbh
