As I said 'The smile, the laugh, the effortless skill.' I'm not saying he's the best player ever to put on a pair of boots, but he's one of the players I've most enjoyed watching.

He was okay, I enjoyed watching him too.

Not as much as I enjoyed Rivaldo's hat-trick against Valencia last day of the 2000-01 season [was it].

Zidane is the greatest player of the last decade, bar none.

That goal Zidane scored for real which was proper postage stamp stuff, who was that against?

There's a vid of him on Youtube vs United, just a full video of highlights of him in a game against United. It's one of my favourite Youtube football videos, not only because it's against United, but because it basically shows why Zidane was so good without loadsa flashy editing and so on.

The one you're talking about is against Leverkusen, though, I remember it very well, one of my favourite goals ever.

Van Basten's against USSR in 1988 European Championships final for me.
The reactions of Vanenburg and Michels are gold.

It's a tough call. I liked him in Soldier Soldier, just not the singing and that.

Their both not a patch on me, on VIDA on Tuesday I was like a young Ulrich Van Gobbel.

You're awfully chipper for a bluenose. Glass half full kinda guy?

I should hope so, we'll be back (back where I have no idea but we will!). Sunday will fun, eh? Both sides playing so poor lately it's untrue no doubt we'll kick start out season I was so chipper even at half time at the KC on Wednesday I thought we'd sti get a point (talk about glass half full eh!). And anyway we've only got your boys on Sunday, Athens Wednesday and Spurs the following Sunday!!!! Just what we need.

Speaking of Mr van Gobbel....this from wikipedia (so could easily be false as you like)

"Van Gobbel received a 4 month prison sentence for buying cars on credit and selling them on without paying the car company. Although the Dutch police have not been able to locate Van Gobbel, it is believed he is in Suriname"

I hope Wigan can get a win tomorrow against Sunderland to make up for the 9-1 defeat.

Good news is that Figueroa is back, so Edman who was at fault for 6 goals will be dropped. Darren Bent is doubtful, so hopefully he'll be out, as is Kenwyne Jones suspended. Hopefully we can take 3 points and go all out for a win.
