Ooohhh for me getting pulled apart for criticising the reds too uch, still there is a first time for everything. I do take offence at being accused of saying that Robbie merely stood on the penalty spot, as one of my all-time favourites, I actually accused him of finding space on the penalty spot, a difficult feat indeed.
The fact is that I do want Milan to do well, I always have, I have consistently said ‘come on, prove me wrong’, and only rarely do I criticise Liverpool players, although Paul Stewart may have a word or to say about that. As for supporting the reds in body if not in spirit, well I think that anybody who knows me would answer that better than I can.
It was never intended to be a rant, As Steve said it was my response to calls on here and in the ground as though Milan was better, sorry far better, than I have ever considered him. I think I can see his strengths but I can’t help but feel that I can also see weaknesses, I don’t mind others disagreeing with me, I am not always right, honest!
I do think that Milan wanted to go elsewhere in the Summer, he has admitted so, he has also admitted to being overweight for the English game when he arrived, and becoming impatient because he was not ready. I can recall his performance in Madrid when I first thought that he had showed more than he had in the reserves, and his finely taken goals at the Reebok.
People can like or dislike my opinions but I think few could honestly claim that I am one for barracking or even lacking support for players or teams, fact is that if everybody was on his case, then I would probably be the one to defend him. I don’t think he is as good as some appear to, end of - there are also plenty out there who think that the calls are over-rated.
Jimmy_Case I do post on two sites usually only two sites, although I did used to use a few others. You tend to get a very different range of responses on this and YNWA although there is a number who use both. They are the two where generally I bother with peoples opinions. I didn’t put the thing on the front page although I have told the mods to feel free to reproduce anything I write in whatever manner they feel fit.
Sometimes an International goal record is a red herring but I do tend to agree with Paul that very few have a record as good as Milan’s. I can’t help but feel that he is not as good as some people obviously feel that he is, and that his style of play does not suit the type of expansive football that I feel that Rafa is trying to achieve. I could be wrong, but it is a honest opinion, as I said in the first place, I’m here to be shot at for the opinion. I was here to b shot at, at the start of last season when I said we would win the league, I was wrong then and I may be wrong now.
But there goes! Fuck it I’m off into town for a jar, I won’t be able to spell me own name till I get home from West Brom, so call me all the c*nts you want now!
