Cajun Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Is it just me or is Vincent Kompany overrated? They were calling him one of the worlds best defenders on MOTD but I just don't see it. He's a good defender but not special IMO. I think he's class, plus he looks like Kryten so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 His performance at SJP in 11/12 was one of the most one sided and dominant defensive displays I've ever seen against us. It's not that we played badly either, he was just colossal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Kompany is the best CB in the league, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Kompany is the best CB in the league, imo. Comfortably. Don’t think many would disagree with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 He was a lot better two seasons ago. Still though one of the best, mainly due to poor competition from others. Don't think there are that many top class centre backs in the league anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Nastasic is on his way to becoming one of the best CB's in the league as well. Kompany is still only 27 as well. That's going to be a brilliant partnership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 At what point will Countries announce their world cup squads ? Way to soon now I know but is it usually before or after the end of the season ? As with the 2010 tournament, each team's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup will consist of 23 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers). Each participating national association has to confirm their final 23-player squad no later than 10 days before the start of the tournament. Teams are permitted to make late replacements in the event of serious injury, at any time up to 24 hours before their first game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Must not be expecting a big crowd for FA cup game, my corner is closed as the Cardiff fans are being moved down further into the leazes.

Fenham Mag Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I hear the phrase 'The pitch is like a carpet', it had me wondering, what would it be like if they actually laid a carpet on a full sized pitch. Obviously a lot of knee burns but I bet it would smell lush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Indoor pitches are basically carpeted. Artificial turf's not all that different either. Both are awful to play on. Now if it were shag carpeting or something... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ever so slightly overhit pass is fucking forget about it on the sand base pitches Actually improved our games as you really really had to place your passes on it.
