Maradona was incredibly one footed. LYP was just bad.Lee Young-Pyo, I am not sure if he was bad or just incredibly one footed...
Yes agree although they both had self destruct buttons that were often pushed.Some real strange answers in here.
On the last few pages alone we've had Gomes and Assou-Ekotto. Two players who had a massive hand in helping us qualify for the Champions League as well as then get us into the quarter finals the following season.
Please correct me. We played 5 up front against Woolwich and beat them 5 -1 at home not sure if same season.
I never liked Pascal Chimbonda, but I can't particularly remember if it was because he was a turd, or that he tended to mouth off to the papers
But you probably come pretty close!Nice one. So any player that has go to off injured is shit, because he's not an ex-city goalkeeper.
I broke my wrist during a game and carried on once. Didn't realise until after the game until it swelled like a balloon. Doesn't make me better than Gomes.
Of course I fucking don't... I'm saying that in the heat of 'battle' (as Professional footballers like to think of themselves in) it can be seen a sign of weakness... which the opposition are usually more than happy to take advantage of!Nice to see that you think that men who show emotion are somehow inferior, though.
Functional is kinderLee Young-Pyo, I am not sure if he was bad or just incredibly one footed...
BAE was very good for us. I can't remember him having a bad game. I thought he raised his level in the Champs League too.
He was also the most genuine, honest footballer. He set up a foundation following the London riots and also set up a charity to help restore the sight of people in Africa.
A legend, and I'm proud that we share the same birthday.

It's not seeing a man cry I have a problem with, (I weep like a baby at most Nature programme when you know what's coming to the poor little seal pup...) It's having that feeling that my team are at a disadvantage somehow
because our 'keeper can't control his emotions until the final whistle.
It's exactly the same as if a player absolutely loses it during a game and lashes out... it shows weakness, and a lack of discipline... and often ends up in a red card, and subsequently putting his team-mates at a disadvantage.
'Losing it' in any way shows you are vulnerable... and in this dog-eat-dog world of Professional sport, players (unfortunately) can't afford to do that, without the team being punished for it.
Of course I don't think Gomes is a wuss for crying on the pitch... but I am pretty sure we lost that match against Stoke... just saying!
(although on reflection, I think he broke a rib, which probably didn't help his mood!!)

Def at home, under Ossie. I was there and we were 3 up in 15 mins.The only time I know that we beat that lot 5-1 at home was in 2008 in the league cup semi

Nicola Berti! Had a girls name ffs!
Stuart Nethercott!
To be honest, I rather see a keeper cry than have a silly smirk on their face after letting in a pea roller...yes, I'm talking about Walker!
Jimmy Savile did a lot for charity too.
Anyway, Assou Ekotto was not bad going forward but he sold the jerseys with naive passing and being out of position often. I felt he and Gomes sullied that era for us.
I like to support retired greyhounds charities, is that the cunt's charity? What d'ye reckon? I mean, they're just fucken dugs when all is said and done. Dugs. Auld dugs.
