Don't think it's the only reason like.
Shame for Jarvis, looked decent on his premiership debut season, been steadily downhill since then, though I've not seen much of him at wham he's hardly been making headlines.
It is fairly hilarious that that they bought Jarvis to cross and Carroll to head them in and it hasn't happened once. I mean it's not as if another club tried exactly the same simplistic nonsense the season before to the same result or anything...
They're absolutely shite like. Literally wouldn't want us to sign a single one of their players, think they're probably the only squad in the league I could say that about.
Great post!
Agree that the locals were absolutely spot on on the whole, great crack and always helpful despite the language barrier. The taxi blokes tried to charge us around £10 at the airport, we instead got the bus (20p) and then the metro (18p) to the hotel. Public transport looked like it hadn't been upgraded since the 70s like.
Ozil is massively underrated. But he's vision and subtelty over being 'complete' in the eyes of the British media ie big, fast, strong and direct.
How he manages to set up about 30 goals a season despite having massive bong eyes and barely being able to play 60 minutes is a mystery of our time.
I think for many the Gerrard hate stems from the constant bumming from commentators and media people who the very sound of their voice drives you to distraction. Similar to the way many find themselves supporting foreign teams in the CL.
Irritating that one of England's generational quota of top class talent was filled by an idiot like Gerrard blasting hollywood passes at a billion miles an hour all the time and playing with no tactical discipline.
Top class club performer for a few years under Benitez who used him right. Overrated would be a very fair analysis though considering how highly some seem to rate him.
