Guest BooBoo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'll predict that in the PL we'll lose every game that Perch plays centre back. We can just about carry him at full back but in the middle his piss weak style will be an accident waiting to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I thought Perch played his best games at CB tbf. Still shit though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I still don't think he's as bad as people think here. He had a couple of bad games, but he's quick and can tackle. Not sure he's strong enough to play at centre back though. Bollocks can he tackle. He can barely get 20 minutes into a game without picking up a booking.

Dokko Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 He's a liability, not even worthy of keeping as backup. Needs moving on asap, replacement optional (as like Smith & lovenkrands) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsprillasShinPad Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Scored for Scunthorpe. Completely forgot he existed. 33 years old now. Wank player who everyone thought was wank. Every time he had anything other than a disastrous game, everyone was thrilled with him. Didn't he set a record for consecutive bookings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 What a load of shite. Perchinio was mint. Vurnon should have been sold instead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Yeah Perch always put in a shift, even if he lack quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsprillasShinPad Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 What a load of s****. Perchinio was mint. Vurnon should have been sold instead of him. I think you are misremembering a bit if you think he was "mint". He worked hard, but was nowhere near good enough. Have a look back through this thread for evidence...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Perch had some good games but definitely not PL quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 33yo Perchinho would be a suitable replacement for Hayden if he gets his move. “Mint” might be gong a bit far, but have you seen Manquillo play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 He did really well for us considering we thought nothing of him when he first joined, was excellent in that season we finished 5th an covered us in so many different positions.

"Newcastle fans don't forget, do they? I can walk around in Nottingham without being recognised even though I played for Forest for a lot longer than I played for Newcastle. More people in Newcastle would come up to me rather than Forest fans." Moments after Perch steps back out onto the pavements of Nottingham, a Geordie accent calls out: 'It's James, isn't it? Can I have a picture?'" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 "Pardew rang me when I left and signed for Wigan. I didn't answer the phone. I didn't ring him back." Good lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Could just be the perspective of the player, but this is interesting: "Looking back, I probably should have stayed and fought for my place, but I just knew that Mike (Ashley) didn't want me there. Pardew wasn't big enough to stand up to him and say, 'I want to play Perchy.' So, I just thought I'll leave. Was Ashley a lot more involved in player decisions than we thought?

gbandit Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 You can just imagine how Pardew would have been if Perch had answered - “Perchy, it’s the King here.K-I-N-G, yeah. Methinks the King may have come up with a plan to get you back on your own two feet. Is there life in the old dog yet? No I’m not talking about me, I’m talking about you Perchy. Let me put it this way, you do not want to put the phone down until you’ve heard what I’ve got to say. Have you heard of a little club called West Bromwich Albion? Ok and have you heard of a little old league called the premier league? Yeah yeah, you see where this is going. What is it that makes someone a winner Perchy, is it the trophies, is it the adulation, is it the… Perchy? Perchy? Per, he’s fackin’ hung up” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it hard to believe but who knows. Perch has hit all the right notes: Ben Arfa legend Pardew snake Ashley cunt Fans amazing Might just want to sell the idea to himself or the fans about Ashley as it’s an easy win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
