"One of the worst ever to feature in the Premier League" How quick they were to forget his performances in the 2012-14 which kept AV up. Besides, I'd assume the worst keepers ever would be those that played in very few matches and clearly displayed they were horrendous.
Watching Ibra in MLS I suspect the whole team was rooting for Gooch and weren't putting much efforts into pulling him away from Ibra.
Zlatan is clearly a massive a$$, but that is all part of his personality. He's a narcissist. It makes no logical sense to a narcissist when he is treated by others without complete deference. When you pair narcissism with a hot-temper, you get Zlatan. He messed with the wrong guy when he decided to zero in on Gooch, but I assume he was subconsciously threatened by the sheer dominant size of Gooch, and his alpha status was in question in his mind.
Blaine Ferri kicked off Greuther Furth for "disciplinary reasons." https://www.nordbayern.de/amateure/...n_fuerth-u23_verzichtet_auf_vier_spieler.html
Don't know if I posted this ever in this thread, (I know I have elsewhere) but was talking footie at a black-eyed peas and greens New Year's Day party yesterday and was reminded of Eddy Hamel. Going from playing for Ajax to being murdered in the gas chambers in Auschwitz is perhaps the definition of infamy. And with that, have a happy and prosperous New Year.
I thought it was cool when Mix Diskarud (however you spell it) turned up in his YA thread and said “hello”. Then proceeded to post in it a ton over several years.
"If I wasn't egoistic I'd be a very simple player and I don't see myself as being a simple player." Zlatan
I remember scouring the internet after this happened, and I never heard a single piece of news about what happened in his case, anybody got any clues?
Jeebus, what's all that about? While I'm glad to see that clubs still hold players accountable for their actions, it's a pretty harsh penalty for bad behavior.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! The notorious Dontavious Fleming: https://www.mainpost.de/regional/ki...e-hoeher-als-die-Baelle-flogen;art773,1740963 "It was kind of funny when the boy appeared on the training ground four years ago with unbound basketball shoes and without a word of German. During shooting practice, the shoes sometimes flew higher than the ball. But soon it was accepted into the player community and friendships were made."
"Becamex Binh Duong have fired Victor Mansaray for inappropriate behavior and failure to follow the club’s rules." (I got this from @Dave Marino-Nachison on the other forum) https://e.vnexpress.net/news/sports...can-striker-for-his-indiscipline-4225671.html
Might as well update this with Travian Sousa getting kicked off HSV "The defender appeared late for HSV training several times, and he was absent from various club appointments. Ultimately, repeated indiscipline and a lack of respect for the employees in the Hamburg authorities would have overflowed the barrel." https://www.weltfussball.de/news/_n4199698_/hsv-talent-offenbar-aus-kader-geschmissen/
No mention of Holden getting his eye socket broken in a street fight outside a bar in Scotland? (or England?)
