Cesc - I had to leave

That does appear to be the way with the lack of commitment shown by our players, although I'm disappointed to hear it from Cesc.

He's not saying he didn't care, he's saying Barca fans would be so aggressive after losing that he couldn't go out, whereas London isn't practically a one-club city like Barca.

How anyone can get upset about this is beyond me; do you lot all cancel dinner plans when we lose?!?

What has RvP done to be any more of a 'legend' than Cesc?
yeah i'd love to no why this is the case.

1989 is entitled too though, but I just dont see why anyone would say RVP is more of a legend.

He has played half a season of truly outstanding football and before that he spent half his time at the club on the injury table :roll: It seems that less is more when it comes to judging legends :oops:

Really not bothered about what comes out from the lad now. He has moved on and so did I when he went back home.
Legend?? Miles off boys.

Big difference between "great player" and "legend". This Club has had no more than 15 "legends" in it's lifetime IMO.

Henry
Adams
Bergkamp
Wrighty
Vieira
Rocastle
Brady
McLintock
Armstrong
Charlie George
Bastin
Eddie Hapgood
George Graham - player/manager
Wenger
Herbert Chapman

I got slated the other week for having a pop at thicko Merson; apparently a 'legend'.

If he is put into the legend bracket then I fail to see how RvP doesn't make it.

Alex James might give you a knee in the groin for that, Frank! :lol:

And Bob Wilson might have a tear in his eye, too.... is that what you want? :x :cry:

As already stated RVP is having a blinding season but the other ones he has been injured for too many games.

Gunnersaurus wants to knee me in the groin too. That doesn't make him a legend either. It makes him something else that is located in the groin area though... :lol: :oops:

And what about Ted Drake - when is comes to legends of this great football club, Drake has to be up there.

I know none of us where around during our glory years of the 30s, but that was our golden era, and people like Chapman, Drake, James and Bastin are legends of our legendary era.

Fair enough - Drake, James and Wilson would also go on my list. 8)

And then there's Eboue! without his comedy, these dark dark days would have been pitch black.

A true legend :cry:
