[RafaShanks]

Shamefully lifted off another site:

 

Jerzy Dudek

John Arne Riise

Jamie Carragher

Sami Hyypia

Josemi

Harry Kewell

Steven Gerrard

Dietmar Hamann

Steve Finnan

Milan Baros

Djibril Cisse

 

 

Subs:

 

Igor Biscan

Stephane Henchoz

Chris Kirkland

Florent Sinama Pongolle

Stephen Warnock

 

Anyone know how many have been and gone since?

[johngibo YPC]

Not a bad team really.

The real difference is the subs. And the ones who can't even get on the bench now

Should have beat spurs that day as well

[Stevie H]

i wish josemi was still here.

[TheLa]

Finnan right wing, what's he thinking the stupid Spanish bastid? He's Houllier Mk II. Mark my words he'll win f*** all for us.

[Frosty Jack]

i wish josemi was still here.

 

I want Nunez back

[RafaShanks]

Finnan right wing, what's he thinking the stupid Spanish bastid? He's Houllier Mk II. Mark my words he'll win f*** all for us.

 

Djibs was right wing and Finnan was up front.

It is interesting to note that all the bench players have been shipped out.

 

What's Hammann doing nowadays? Have not heard about him for a long while.

Strange when you think that Morientes is talked about more in these boards more than Mr.Reliable.

Hamann is at City, and started their opening game this season giving a solid performance.

Hamann is at City, and started their opening game this season giving a solid performance.

There was bound to be another manager out there that could properly utilise him. I know a Man City supporter and when he Didi signed for them, I said to him "Congratulations, this guy will be fantastic for you - proper legend". I met him again last season, and he reckons they'd been sold a dud. Hopefully the muppet will soon realise how good the Kaiser is.

Baros and Cisse, have we had 2 first team strikers any less suited to each other than these two?

[Guest Portly]

Hopefully the muppet will soon realise how good the Kaiser is.

 

Didi does smoke rather a lot! He was at Chester Races last year and spent most of the time wandering around smoking and chatting on his mobile phone.

 

I am a dedicated smoker myself but I'm not paid megabucks as a professional athlete.

[IgPig]

Doesn't seem to have done him too much harm, in terms of his athletic career.

[Bald Devil]

Aye, Riise smokes as well. When you're being put through a Pako regime you can afford the odd Marlboro light.

 

Hamann was boss on Saturday in his ususal role. It looked like he was the main reason why the new players gelled so well. He kept them ticking over with simpole passes.

[Gunga Din]

i thought didi was city's best player on saturday

[Boca]

Aye, Riise smokes as well.

 

I'm surprised at that. I thought I read somewhere that Riise was a fitness freak and an animal for training. Smoking doesn't seem to fit in with that.

maybe there was more to the crumples than met the eye

I work with a city ST holder, and he said Didi was man of the match on Wednesday night. He was telling me they've bought a few youngsters who can do all the running leaving Didi free to patrol around the back four, break up the plan and setup the counter. I told him that was all he ever did for us apart from regularly scoring against his old team. D'oh

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Before I clicked in I tried to remember and I guessed at Finnan for RM as I remembered Josemi got MOTM that day. Got the rest right aswell.

[Walrus]

Kaizer: How many fags has Riise smoked since 2002? And how many of those were as a sub?

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

I'm surprised at that. I thought I read somewhere that Riise was a fitness freak and an animal for training. Smoking doesn't seem to fit in with that.

 

it does fit in with his t***tishness though

 

not that all smokers are t***s, but you know that particular type - the kid that no-one likes, who joins in with the smokers to try and look hard/cool

[RedNik]

and may the riise bashing begin....
