and now he plays for Arsenal so should feel right at home. :-(

I like the sad sack players.
Edu always seemed sad :-(

I know what you mean. He had a lovely smile, but there was sadness in his eyes.

Bellerin would fetch £40m to £50m in the summer.

But that’s pre gender swap.

Not sure how much he’d be worth with a pair of titties and a vag.

Warning signs all there lads.

Of course it's possible that I just have a blind sport. It's an affliction that can strike anyone. Why, do you know, I remember someone who could never appreciate the enormous contribution made by our red-haired Swedish genius! Imagine.

Which is an inaccurate recollection if I can say so.

To deny his contribution would be idiotic given the goals he scored, specifically goals in the run in to the title in 2002 when we lost Pires.

My bone of contention was simply that as a footballer I thought he was a little over-rated and that as a footballer he could count himself so very extremely lucky to have played on the same grass at the same time and in the same team as others such as Bergkamp, Henry, Vieira etc. who elevated him to a level beyond his actual technical football ability.

He also dyed his hair red, people loved that, some people. He earned a lot of public kudos on this fashion decision.

He is seen as a hero and club legend whereas a player such as Wiltord is often viewed with an almost disdain, despite him also scoring a lot of goals for the club including as iconic a goal as any the Swede did.

My perceived hatred of the man was always over stated.

Perhaps a sadness to reflect that he was never really recognised for the simply magnificent footballer he was.

Wiltord, you say. One rarely thinks of Wiltord, and when one does it is usually only to ponder greg mitchell's description of him being 'like lesbian porn; he goes round and round in circles but never gets anywhere'. Which was funny. :hehe:

"I'm sad for my friends. I'm trembling, I'm horrified. I have no words, I don't want to say anything."

:-( Terrible business.

He was. Languid, elegant and with a left foot that was not merely educated, but had a chair in Linguistics at a Russell Group University.

But ultimately he didn't give us the steel and cover that we needed and which Gilberto provided so admirably. A great shame.
