Why is it that every time a player has a good run of form, we automatically want to make them captain? First it was Bellamy, then De Jong, and now Kompany.
I agree that Toure isn't a captain (despite my weird manlove for him as a player, he is a bad choice) and was probably the best of a strange bunch. Barry has done the job before and would be okay, he might even pick his form up.
To me though, my preferred (heart, not head) choice is Ireland. He's blue through and through, has a phenomenal work ethic, has been at the club the longest, plays most games, and his form has a great impact on our team. He also isn't shy about his opinion, puts club before country and knows the tactical side of the game.
The day Stevie lifts the Champions League as captain, I might just die a fully contented and happy person.
your posts are generally the ones with which i find intellect and dry humor in abundance........... this effort is without doubt the most amount of drivel i've seen come from your sword. Ireland as captain? Lifting a champions league? Not a chance
To be fair, I was totally sozzled at this point last night and did mention that my opinion came from my heart more than from my head. Whisky, and sensible opinions don't usually go hand in hand.
