Guest palnese Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 A solid, well-timed tackle is a thing of true beauty. The English attitude is correct. It's art. Parker vs Joe Cole Just thinking about that tackle makes me hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 . If you're a tryhard English who is when it comes down to it s**** to middling, you'll be let off. This isn't true. Parker & Milner had the crowds on their back for a lack of ability, creative flair and they worked their socks off. Until Ashley came and made people believe we where total s*** and lucky to be in the division the SJP crowd was very rough. Players that tried hard and didn't hide but didn't have great ability on the ball often got some stick. Looking backing they would be better served doing a Jenas (hiding, not take responsibility) or a Dyer (feign injury). Actually, it's best to hide and somehow work hard ala Colback Both of those players were employed creatively when they were criticised. Parker was universally loved when he was more of a defensive midfielder in his first season, Milner was a right winger who only looked any good when he moved to Villa and was played in the middle. Aye but they where tryhard Englishmen with average ability and the crowd got on their backs. If you're an creative player who is not doing it. The crowd got on you. Didn't matter where you where from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I don't really recall that, I remember saying he should be a CM because he was very limited. He has had a good career though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 He always had technical ability and playing in the centre was his best position, imo. I believe he played there for villa, where he probably played his best football of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The wife of a former Rangers footballer shot dead while out shopping for baby clothes collapsed to her knees after seeing her husband's body. Arnold Peralta, 26, suffered 18 head wounds in the deadly attack in his Honduran hometown of La Ceiba, police said. The midfielder was on holiday on the country's Caribbean coast when he was shot dead outside Uniplaza mall. He was out shopping with his wife to buy baby clothes for their three-month-old daughter Camilla, according to newspaper El Heraldo. Selvin Fernandez, a spokesman for La Ceiba public ministry, said: "The cause of death was open cranial trauma, and there were approximately 18 entrance and exit wounds. http://i2.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article6994561.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/PAY-peralta.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Mongo Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 He was limited like, and slow as fuck, I just always remember him being fairly tricky. Maybe it's just my shit memory as I haven't watched the season DVDs like. Eh, he wasn't that slow. Not the fastest winger (wingers are often very fast), of course, but one of the hardest working, and moderately pacy. One of the things I noted when he played with Owen and Viduka (and Ameobi) was that his celebrated "dummy to cross, cut in side, dummy to cross, cut back outside" was needed while waiting for the strikers to arrive in the area. He was a good player for us, extremely dependable, just not exceptional in anything except perhaps stamina. Personally, I think he was one of the most underrated players on this board. Of course, he was also very unexciting, except when he cut inside and launched a shot that made you wonder why he didn't do that all the fucking time.
