Man reading back thinking where is @Mick O'Toon when we need him? We have a debate for your to settle ye wee paddy bastard ye
Being of Irish descent, can say it's not really a problem ... although 'Paddy' really is a 'version' of Patrick ... It's the inflection that determines whether it's meant to be derogatory or insulting ... Annunciated without negative intent, there really isn't anything that bad in using a collective such as ... Paddy for the Irish Taffy for the Welsh Jock for the Scots ...and Cùnt for the English
Not at all Didn’t mean for you to think I was offended Loadsa my homies call me ‘Paki’ then we laugh and break bread together All is good I know you better than that Luv much love between us fam
If his three seasons at Newcastle were his best football…then that’s a shame as his highlights were even more limited. oh, there is the fishing rod/chicken incident. So that’s a good one
I always thought Gazza was sort of Englands answer to George Best I could be way off on that Just how it looked to me from distance
One of the most memorable goals scored in an England shirt was John Barnes against Brazil ... in a friendly ... didn't detract from the quality of the goal ..
George was my hero growing up - every kid in the playground wanted to be George ... the very best 'dribblers' have the ability to glide past opponents and ride challenges due to incredible balance ... George certainly had that in buckets and whilst I don't rank Gazza anywhere near having George's mercurial talent - he did have those skills more than most ... and certainly compared to any other English players of his generation...
I wasn’t around so can’t comment loads I just look at what the two of them did And think they probably could have done so much more Not going to debate which one was better But the both sort of pissed their talents away from what I can see which is more where I am coming from Best looked class in his prime so did Gazza But neither of them are a Pele or Messi - sort of next levels down maybe I dunno Sad tbh - I did see Gazza at Burnley and he was atrocious - like awful So was Wrighty though
Gascoigne is described by the National Football Museum as "widely recognised as the most naturally talented English footballer of his generation." .... funnily enough ... MacManaman and Waddle aren't ....
