Ever changed your opinion of a player?

In fairness I was thinking about u only the other day as PMK, Dave and myself descended a Tevez thread into a thread about pasties...we needed you to keep us in line and on topic


Welcome home kph

 

To be fair Captain Birdseye was'nt involved in the pastiegate enquiry.



glad to ave ya back KPH

 

GARY NEVILLE!!!!

Hated the guy with a passion when he was at United but as a pundit he is absolutely class, if there was person I thought I'd hate forever it was definitely him!

 

I cant understand a word hes saying on tv,hes got that whiney manchester drawl that would send a glass eye to sleep.

 

Yeah but his face after the City drubbing every picture tells a story and his face looked like he'd just been told John Terry had been spotted at his house...6 times.

 

Oh PMK, his dull monotone manc voice is still horrible don't worry

 

****ing Londoners and Scousers taking the piss out of accents

 

Not accents in general matey, just his . It doesn't tend to change pitch AT ALL

 

We talk properly so whats your point?

 

Ahhh bless thanks very much I feel wanted again.
And how the hell did you lot turn Tevez into Pasties (although i am told Mancini has had the same idea!!)

 

on the original question.... I've never formed an opinion about a players character really instantly but when i do i've never ofund anyhting that's changed it.

i mean diouf day one was unlikeable wasn't he? I've never thought someone wasn't a tool without good reason really as football rivalry or "onfield antics" are not good reason to form this opinion simply as winding guy sup on a pitch oh like suarez does is business. it doesn't have to lead one to the hateful comments rival fans make about him being a cheat etc. Thats jealousy.

But... ronaldo has proved himself a tool 20 times over hasn't he? Tevez too....

 

Roy keane ... a true gent , always closes the local when hes home for a few hours so the local kids can meet him get autographs pictures etc, without there being any drunks in there spoiling it for the youngsters , lemonade and crisps and choclate to bate the band aswell for all the kids

 

I met Paul McGrath in a pub in Wexford a couple of years back,he was the enemy when he played for the mancs,but hes a great fella with a great personality.


EDIT: And a good Pats man.

 

We're a pretty random bunch so it wasn't difficult I think it was when PMK brought up the lack of good eateries in Manchester upsetting Tevez which led to a discussion about why Greggs (Manchester firm) pasties are **** and Sayers pasties are superior

 

I agree to a certain extent but then I think of.....Torres

Sometimes first impressions can be deceiving after all

 

thats an oxymoron

 

It made perfectly good sense to me,i think.

<headscratch>

 

well... torres... lets put it this way, when you do have the hair, the image thing and the one liners to the fans of athletico I didn't really put him down as the most straightforward kind of guy in the first place but was a bit shocked he thought it was ok to go joined chelsea seeing as he stated he'd never join real.

not saying i saw it coming but then i had the whole owen thing to go on after all.... Oh and woen never struck me as really like say carragher. the day his first long term deal was announced at anfield was kind of almost false and self praising. I always thought he thought himself bigger than anyoe else but i was again shocked he'd join the mancs.

I'd dearly to be able i saw any one of them coming but did i really change my opinion on any of them? well mcmanaman might be the only case i really did but that was i think the one time i thought of it naively in terms of loyalty etc.

reina has given us more loyalty maybe than anyone seeing he's still there and all the others fell away.
