he wasn't in the earlier days with us - but once the tax situation was understood, and the teams learned to deny him space, his motivation caved in. Not a good character reference, but the guy has ability. Sadly towards the end his efforts looked lost and he couldn't do anything right. So - we all seemed to want him to go.
I dont think hes suited to the Prem, lets hope he has a more than decent tournament so we can get a bit more money for him
Netherlands 0-1 Denmark at Half Time. Netherlands are playing beautiful football but aren't working hard enough to win the ball back. They are creating lots of chances, but not putting them away. Reminds me of Arsenal a bit. Denmark started off showing the Dutch too much respect, but they grew in confidence (probably because the Dutch allowed them too). They took their chance and showed why Stekelenberg is over-rated. I'm disappointed with Eriksen, who has done very little for the Danes. However, Denmark aren't able to play the football that best utilises his skill-set, especially against Holland.
I temporarily forgot about Podolski playing today, I love this euros having an Arsenal player in every game so far.
Podolski missed a great chance... blazed way over the bar. Looks good with the ball at his feet, and quick too...
Podolski has done okay, couple of half chances. He could have had a couple of goals if he'd been picked out quicker. He gets into some really good positions and always looks hungry
The Pod didn't do anything to light my fire yesterday. The only reaction he got from me was when he tackled 'a la Song'. 1st game & lots of nerves. I'm sure he will improve
Tiago Motta just got hurt chucking himself on the floor. I hope that disgusting diver has to go off, it would be poetic justice for that twat. Also, does anyone else think Andrea Pirlo looks like David Carradine (RIP)?
Italia, Italia, Italia .. that is who my heart is with ....... Balotelli better behave the bloody eejut. "eh, eh, chi non salta è Spagnolo - eh, eh ...."
