The Las Vegas magician looking ****

Fucking love it

 

[Anonymous]

He was fucking streets ahead of anyone on the pitch tonight, but he's still a ****.

I thought this,any idea what his problem with Joe was ?

Joe actually lost his rag a bit and was pushing the Swedish players so ZI was just reacting to that, handbags at dawn really , no big deal.

Who's coming? Elaborate please.
As for Ibra I can tell form these boards that he is somewhat of a hated player by some of our fans, but I don't see why we would be (more) hated just because we had him in our team,
A few weeks into the season all our fans would love him.

 

[johnny crossan]

Something nasty going off with Joe after the Turnips scored their second. I don't think he'd be welcome.

He couldn't play for us..health and safety

His head couldn't fit in Eastlands without clearing the family stand

You know, that perception is just plain wrong.
I have met him a couple of times, during summers when he's home in Sweden, had a beer together chatting about everything. He's a very down to earth man, humble and "simple" in his private life.
On the pitch he's a conqueror, cold hearted beast who will stop at nothing in order to win. But that's a requirement if you want top be the best I think.

I won't try to convince all the Ibra haters here they are wrong. They have the right to their opinion, but I know the facts and thus is of a completely different opinion.

 

[LoveCity]

He and Aguero could be a good partnership but I think City fans would find him very frustrating as he does a lot of annoying things in between all the great stuff. He'd probably be better than Dzeko because he's stronger and more technically gifted but not worth all the hassle at his age.

 

[BlueBilly]

He was unbelievable tonight. But I suppose everybody is still trying to pretend he's shit because he didn't score right?

 

[edgecroft]

Well the announcer I was listening to said that there were two factions in the Sweden camp at war with each other, one of them lead by Ibrahimovic.

Then yelling at Joe Hart.

Seems like a total wanker.

Absolute and 100% bollocks.

 

[Roll On City]

What a player

This is the story he was refering to:

Euro 2012: Sweden split into factions behind Ibrahimovic and Mellberg
By Ian Herbert

The Sweden squad are in a state of civil war heading into tomorrow evening's game against England, as their public yearn for a return of the style of football that Roy Hodgson introduced to the country.

Two factions have emerged from what has been seen as a disastrous 2-1 defeat by Ukraine on Monday. Some players are behind the captain, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and others are behind Olof Mellberg, the squad's elder statesman, a former captain who does not get on with the unpredictable striker. Ibrahimovic, who was infuriated by the Swedes' apparent indifference to defeat in Kiev, was involved in a heated pitch-side argument with the assistant coach Marcus Allback – a former Aston Villa team-mate of Mellberg's – after the game.

Yesterday the Swedish prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, weighed into a bizarre row over players taking shots at the bare backside of the reserve goalkeeper, accusing the players of unacceptable behaviour.

"People who carry expectations should be aware of that and act accordingly," Reinfeldt said.

The game known to the squad as "Pig" occurred after training, when seven players and Allback stood in a circle, keeping the ball in the air. Johan Wiland lost; as punishment he had to walk to a nearby wall, pull down his shorts and turn his backside towards his team-mates. They took turns aiming balls at him from about 20 yards away. The incident, which was not part of open training, was filmed by a crew from the Swedish newspaper Expressen and subsequently shown on its website. A Swedish anti-bullying organisation, Friends, said the players were "incredibly bad role models".

Ibrahimovic and Mellberg have been criticised for running from the field after the Ukraine defeat, without acknowledging the 13,000 Swedish fans who were present. The coach, Erik Hamren, is under fire for attempting to introduce a more attacking style to a team who have traditionally used the 4-4-2 system made popular after Hodgson and Bobby Houghton introduced it at Halmstad in 1976. The Swedes also look vulnerable in the air, having conceded six of their last seven goals and seven in 11 to headers.

Against England, the striker Johan Elmander is likely to start, in line with Ibrahimovic's demands and alongside Jonas Olsson. Anders Svensson may be recalled in central midfield, at Rasmus Elm's expense

There will be 20,000 Swedes in Kiev's Olympic Stadium, a reflection of the optimism with which the nation entered the tournament, expecting a quarter-final at least. Since Freddie Ljungberg's 88th-minute winner beat Paraguay 1-0 at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, in front of the biggest gathering of Swedes outside the country anyone could remember, tournaments have been viewed as a type of festival. There was huge support for Sweden at Euro 2008 and this year tens of thousands of fans have occupied Trukhanovsky Island in the middle of the Dnieper River in Kiev – creating a "Camp Sweden".

Wouldn't it be ironic if he turns up on our doorstep on transfer deadline day?
Did anyone see when he drank from Heart's bottle just before a corner kick?
Ibra and Hart had a laugh in the tunnel after the game so no bad blood…
Ibra and Mellberg are best friends so that story by Ian i smoke the Herbs is nonsense

 

[Hart of the Matter]

He looks like Frank Zappa. Would have him in our squad in a heart beat. Ideal drogba like presence with a good couple of years left in him. Play him sparingly and keep other 3 as main starters. He is a monster with a hell of a touch and a great shot.

 

[1961_vintage]

Joe should have chinned the cnut.

Awesome performance though.

It would, and it would make for some interesting reading here on the forum.

Reading that nonsense story, I get the feeling some so called reporters just make things up in order to boost the sales. :)
It's bs.

you can have whoever you want, but i just find it funny how people ask for players like falcao or RarelyeVenPlays over ibrahimovic. aguero i think can become as good as or even better than ibrahimovic . people questioning ibras attitude should check their own attitude. look up any interview about an ac milan player they will tell you zlatan is a great guy and a true champiion

I agree with everything you are saying about Ibra. There are very few players in his class right now. But, I will say that Falcao could be close and also because of age a better signing for us. I wasn't convinced a year ago, but after his year in Spain I think we have to recognize that this guy can perform at the highest level.
