Where did the nickname Mr Whippy come from

From the alternative commentaries, as far as I know.

You forget how good they are and how much you miss them until you see them again! Brilliant. :-)

Yes they were excellent.

That's just it. He didn't get mad. He was calmness personified; precisely what we needed in that moment.

I can mention occasions when him and others, like Rodrigo for example, did get mad, as reflected in celebrations following crucial goals. Our players are not idiots. The club is at war, they're fully aware of it. They've been experiencing and tolerating shit on and off the pitch for years. The fact that they won't speak about it publicly is a completely different story...

I've commented about Kevin's attitude in that match, I could write a fucking paper. Beyond his unique talent, that's exactly what made him rise and already appear as one of the very best players in the history of the sport. The personality he has developed, composure and calmness personified, as you say. Go back and watch an interview of his the day before the team and himself destroyed Arsenal (4-1) at home, him scoring the first and the third, putting the game to bed. Just an example, you'll understand what I mean. In crucial moments (and there were so many), under huge psychological pressure, he will always deliver. While always working for the team, carrying the team, leading by example. And staying humble at the same time. A giant of a player and a man. I can only imagine what it means for his teammates to have him with them on the pitch...

He is parachuting on the pitch with the ball Saturday before kick off[emoji38]

Can I go and do my 'big shop' yet or am I hanging on in case it's now a 7pm announcement?

I'm convinced it's getting called off. Sort of thing Barcelona would do because they can't register Olmo. People getting giddy might just want to take a break.

If its free transfer. Wouldnt it normally be. Barcelona mutally terminate contract with him. Leaving him free agent?

Think logically they've bought a player and want to register him because they kneww they would have to let two players go to register Olmo they are calling of the gundogan to Man City!?

Oh and leave there new signing twiddling his thumbs all season sat in there stands?

Remind me not to invite you to a party

If I was at the ground that day on 13th May 2012, I’d have probably left the ground at minute 85 in disgust.


Thankfully I was in my armchair so I left the room and came back in.
