[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

third rate is a bit generous DAve

I only use three when it's hacks. It's the bottom of the barrel! And the barrel is extremely deep.

Alex Hess: Relentlessly attention-seeking, incredibly needy, and, speaking from a position of absolute certainty, completely devoid of facts, intelligence or testicles. An era-defining “sports journalist”.

Sorry, I've pinched that.

Edit: damn, beaten to it.

I understand that the club have supported and protected Kun from the word go, he has problems that are not superficially apparent, which make his achievements all the more remarkable.

What problems?

What problems?

Couldn’t stop scoring and wouldn’t brag about it in English

Surely a 'wind up' or the guy isn't very good at writing about football.
Of the players mentioned Henry and Shearer no problem with them, undoubtedly Premier League greats.
Ronaldo has been one of the best players in the world but was a lot better after he left England.
Gareth Bale (unless it was the other Bale?) could be pretty good but often flattered to deceive as others have said
Bloody Suarez! Remember the biting and alleged racism but apart from one really decent season (when we beat Liverpool to 2014 Prem) he really was nowhere near Sergio.

But, but, but.... they won the April trophy, remember?

Sergio getting his rightful praise by most corners now, shame that it takes our players leaving for them to be recognized for how good they are/were.

The media are just glad our legends have gone, it's part of the relief and hope we'll buy a crap replacement eg piano player or a slabhead to lower our level.

Yes Suarez the PL great who won one League Cup during his four seasons in England (a penalty win over Cardiff City)

Say what you like about Suarez, he certainly left on impression from his time in the Premier League.

Much of it on the arm of Ivanovic!

I heard Liverpool desperate to keep him but couldn't afford the retainer fee

 

[stonerblue]

He’s a good friend of ‘Charlie Clitlicker’ aka Sachin Nakrani, one of the Guardian sports desk’s resident sexual deviants

Pair of wankers who would never say that to a Blue in real life.

Another example of fake, made up, lies, and bullsh*t from Danny Gallagher at the Daily United.

Note. 'City have thrown in the towel'.

Lionel Messi's move to Manchester City is now 'case closed' after Pep Guardiola's side 'throw in the towel' and turn attention to Erling Haaland, Harry Kane or Romelu Lukaku... with PSG now the 'only alternative' if Barcelona star wishes to leave​

The dental plan clause in his contract was crippling them financially, he had to go to, the rags or the Spanish rags were the only viable clubs.

 

[Blue_eyes]

The pompousness of that time every year when you hear “the fwa award is the one that has a bit more to it” as though they are so knowledgable.

Theres a bit more to it alright.............. Favouratism....jealousy....bitterness....awkwardness....pretentiousness....shithousery....foolishness....stubborness....lack of knowledgeness, all topped off with a massive dollop of arrogant self worth.

The daily express yesterday ran a non footballing story that brits were going to be rounded up and kicked out of Spain. Virtually alongside it they ran another story saying Brits had nothing to fear and would be allowed to stay. They simply make stuff up to get clicks and therefore advertising. They have no way of knowing if Pep/soriano want Messi at the club.

Who cares, to be fair? I'm guessing you didn't follow this guy before finding his Aguero tweet, and it's not all that wrong anyway. Aguero is relentlessly good and was expensive (good value =/= cheap). I don't find him especially fascinating as a character either.

He also left a biting impression on others outside the premier league...including a truly global audience,in the world cup when he sunk his teeth into the neck of the centre back marking him.
Crazy.

But it got him a move away from anfield ( breach of contract stuff)...he promptly signed for Barcelona,a move which tells you a lot about his desperation to leave klanfield,and even more about Barcelonas willingness to turn a blind eye to dispicable behaviour when it suits.
