Packing Moreno's Bag
ha ha ha. poor aul ron. one of the first managers to promote black players in the league, but that bit of punditry crucified him.

its like what they say about christmas parties in the work place: it can take 30 years to build up your reputation, but only thirty seconds to destroy it. laugh

Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria
He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
please don't take my Luis away.

African players seem to be incredibly athletic and skilful but usually from incredibly poor backgrounds. This tends to leave them a little nieve and often poorly advised by hangers on. many tend to disappear on international duty and have constant disciplinary problems. Only Essien comes to mind as the ultimate professional in all aspects.

this is a generalisation!


I think this hits the nail on the head mate, i couldn't think of how to word it.
