He was professional enough but it must have felt like being sent to the stocks in front of the N5 faithful.
Thursday night with the kids, playing against FC Nondescript in the Euro’s.
At least Kos and Laca were given rehab run outs.
Definite naughty step undertones for our 300k a week man.
I suppose he was professional, but he hardly lit the night up, did he?Quote:

Until now. You all wanted change. Well, you've got change.
We're bland. The greatest insult of all.
to mention those two little runts in the same breath as Bergkamp and Rocastle? For shame, scQuote:

Judging such matters ios subjective, of course, but Fabregas was a better midfield player than Brady, he was better than Thomas or Rocastle, better than Steve Williams, better than Kevin Richardson... was he better than Vieira? Not sure. Maybe. As I say, absolutes are a bit silly. But he was an absolutely magnificent footballer and unarguably up amongst the very best.Quote:

Fabregas was not as good as, let's say, Gilberto. For example.Quote:

Amazing then that Barca sold him for a relative pittance and he can't get into the Chelsea team. :rubchin:Quote:
