I don't really hate him. I think my biggest problem with him (apart from the tongue thing) was the depressing predictability of his career arc. Knowing he'd never realise his potential was fúcking depressing.

Mind you, if he'd been really successful, City would have bought him off us by now, so :shrug:

I was driving out of my local supermarket car park a few weeks back and the car in front was a Rover 75! Couldn't believe it. Immediately thought of Peter as well :hehe:

Of course, part of the idea was that he is one of our own, as they say, so no fear of him joining any other English club, especially a rival one.

I've always said that he's really only an English player by passport though; no need for us to even touch him if he were foreign, as there's more and better out there available to us.

It was a wonderful car to drive. So smooth, so comfortable. Sooooo ****ing slow and heavy but that became part of its charm.
