Bobbi is the monkeys nuts. Taking the piss really wasn't he?
Was tackling banned in that game or something? 😆
How can you pit Pires against a bunch of fat journalists. 😆
Should have never retired. Good enough to put him on for 10 minutes every week. We don't start playing till about that time anyway.
Nah he was done. Did you see him at villa?
My fave ever gooner
Yeah, I did, he did look done. Still think a special "play grand-dad for 10 minutes max" role should have been invented specially for him. My second all time fav, BTW.
The cleverest player I've seen, to be honest. There are many better, 'natural' footballers but with Pires he used to think his way into winning us games. The way he handled the injury turned him into a very different and unique footballer.
Best slide rule passer and side footer I ever seen.
Very good indeed. Eisfeld looks to have that ability
Michael Laudrup for me is by some distance the best passer I have ever seen. And I am much older than most of you babies and have seen more players, so there.
Laudrup was majestic.
What's a "slide rule passer"?
Pass between the line which stays on the ground
A throughball in other words?
yes, with the perfect angle anad weight on it for a first time finish. as if you'd measured the angle and velocity with a slide rule.
Bergkamp and Fabregas were better at it for starters, and I'm only speaking Arsenal here.
Handsome bastard.
Thanks.
Arteta retweeted this
Yep I put it in the key players thread too🙂 It's brilliant.
I wonder if he laughed at Squillaci's one 😆
