How highly do you rate... Robert Pires?

[Disco]

Fowler wouldn't get a sniff of a game today due to his type being almost finished at the top level.

 

Don't agree with that, like. At his best he was fantastically clinical and instinctive. Always a place for strikers when they're that good.

 

He was but because of his lack of pace or height and the way the game/systems have moved on I just don't think he'd be afforded the chance given that he'd almost certainly have to play uptop alone.

[Disco]

 

Aye, I really liked him aside from when he was playing against us, or since then when he's been on telly. People say that his type aren't good enough for this league anymore, but it's bullshit. He was lazy, but in this age he'd pretty much be a deeper lying Berbatov.

 

Eh? Naturally gifted ballplayers aren't good enough for the PL, what crack is this that is being smoked?

If anything with managers moving away from 442 to more fluid set ups players like Le Tiss would arguably shine even more than they did back then.

No no, I mean his laziness and perceived lack of fitness. I seem to remember HTT going on about how he wouldn't be anything in the PL now. I could be (and usually am) wrong, though.

Am I reading some of this right RE Fowler?

 

He would excel in any era because he had pace, guile, great movement, a decent footballing brain, a wand of a left foot and the kid could score goals for fun.

 

If players like Lambert can cut it in the PL today, someone like Fowler wouldn't have any problem whatsoever.

 

RE Le Tissier, he was fucking class, he just strolled around doing next to fuck all other than score wonder goals and generally show boat in what was a shitty Southampton side. He pretty much kept them up every single season.

Eh, I don't think I've ever said that like RE Le Tissier.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Wrong again then.

 

 

Someone did.

I always thought it was a shame Collymore never fulfilled his potential. He had everything at his peak.

 

Looked like a world beater at Forest.

 

Oh come on that's crying out for a witty response!!!

I guess you could say that he was

 

 

 

The Sheriff of Nottingham

 

 

[Village Idiot]

He ripped up trees.

[Mr. Snrub]

He masturbated in car parks whilst watching people have sex.  Excuse the pun.

[Guest firetotheworks]

He certainly did spend a lot of time ROBBIN'(CLITORAL) HOOD

We all knew what it was crying out for man. We were just playing dumb by going with other things related to Nottingham. Jokes are always best when you explain them afterwards like.

 

AYE, AYE ULRIKA. HE FUKD HER GUD!

Fowler wouldn't get a sniff of a game today due to his type being almost finished at the top level. Cracking player though, scored all the goals n all.

 

That's probably the worst football post that I've read on here.

[Optimistic Nut]

Was it not just a subtle joke a la the Collymore stuff?

[Interpolic]

Tbf there is definitely a point in there somewhere, I couldn't see him being an ever-present for one of the top sides these days.

[colinmk]

Dunno man, Fowler really was top class.

[Interpolic]

He was an unbelievable finisher but I just can't see it.  Most first-choice forwards at top 4 clubs have an element of physicality and quality link-up play to go with the rest of their talents.  I could see him getting plenty of minutes for such a club (or maybe starting for a club like Liverpool/Everton) but not being a mainstay of a top side.
