Anyone seen the official WBA promotional video, announcing the signing of Anelka? It's unbelievably rubbish, and also absolutely hilarious - look how excited he is to have joined them!! [video=youtube;v37suDoylik]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v37suDoylik[/video] Along with the pinkun 1993 twitter account this is one of the best things I've seen all week!
WTF was that? It was like a supermarket opening ceremony, replete with the musac one finds when wandering around Lidl with a hangover on Sunday morning looking for milk and bread.
I hope for their sake, his performances are not as underwhelming as his 49 second cameo in front of the club cameras
before i'd even seen you'd posted this i was saying to myself the anelka video reminded me of 'black bin bags' from phoenix nights
As is clearly visible from his demeanour in the video clip - he looks more like he's in a dentist's waiting room, ffs
Anyone else think the Baggies will struggle next season by the way? I wrongly had them down as relegation fodder last season, and was amazed by how well they did under Clarke (who I honestly expected to be out of his depth) but of course that was largely due to the inspired signing of Lukaku. Surely they will really miss him and his goals, and surely Anelka isn't anything like a replacement so unless they make another equally inspired signing to lead the line I can definitely see them struggling this season.
Yes but what is funnier still is the two attempts for freedom the shirt itself makes by flapping to get away! Almost as though it is saying ' I want no part of this'!!
I am I the only one still laughing at the BBC web post in the gossip section West Brom's new striker Nicolas Anelka, 34, has two targets for his West Brom career - to get them into Europe and then quit playing.
