Anelka: Misunderstood | Netflix

Weaver at Portman Road is a great shout tbf

I meant at Maine Road Road during Joe Royle's second promotion season. 27/10/99. Weaver and Richard Wright were up against each other, and were touted as the future of English goalkeeping.

Nicky was phenomenal that night.

And Hart vs Tottenham.

And Weaver vs Ipswich.

Beat me to it! Hart’s best performance was against Spurs but people always talk about Dortmund.

Anelka was a brilliant, brilliant footballer.

Yes. I think we won 1-0

Such a shame Weaver never did what he could have done

On a side note, City must have some sort of record of England keepers that have played for us?

Yes, it was 1-0.

Fully agree about Weaver. Yet another one, whose potential was curbed by serious injury.

Yeah but he talks about them as Manchester now, in 2020 when the interview got done.
Wouldn't have minded if he didn't spend 3 odd years with us

We were mentioned as little more than a footnote, which when you look at were we were and the clubs he played for is probably fair. However I do think that along with that one season at Arsenal, and at Chelsea where he finally matured he played his best football in sky blue

Sadly, we can’t impose OUR mindset on other people.

Some players take us to heart, others we take to heart, and others we prefer to forget they ever were here, because they were never Blues.

Anelka fits at least 2 out of 3 of those.

I had a great song for him but it never became popular. it was to the tune of Kylie Minogue's 'I can't get you out of my head' Na na na Nicolas Anelka Na na na Nicolas Anelka....Should have been a classic!

 

[Barcon]

Just watched it and it wasn't bad. I actually have a little more respect for patrice evra now which is unfortunate.

 

[Groke]

Started watching it but Henry Winter going on about arsenal (they have fans living around the ground and all over the world), then Wenger, then Manchester in Manchester, then off.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Watched it and I find him a bell end.

He tries miles too hard to be "different".

More than a touch of the Cantonas about him.

 

[mat]

I enjoyed it.

Very honest about his time with us.
