Guest Abdel Zizi Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Re: Official Gold Championships Discussions Thread I'll post this here so everyone has the pleasure of reading it You labelled them both ugly' date=' if that wasn't a reference to their footballing style, what exactly were you talking about? Oh and no need to swear, play nice [/quote'] Ugly teams? They are mostly the subject of a lack of interest, as they are only cheered to by a select few (mostly based of whereabouts) Their tradition and legacy is very limited, they only produce 1 or 2 worhty players every 10 year and they just fill the voids, to compete with the teams that do matter, the beautiful teams. You were just wrong to assume "ugly" was a term used to sescribe their playing styles, while I meant the much more richer meaning. Before I get the "God bless England and it's teams" response: Hangeland or Duff aren't players I call worthy. Bolton had Djorkaeff and Bobic, but that was also 9 years ago. Only Anelka fits. Fulham hasn't even have a top class player the last 10 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Abdel Zizi Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Re: Official Gold Championships Discussions Thread What would you want for him' date=' idealy.[/quote']Nothing too much, I'm listening to offers. I offered him to someone for a far inferior player atm, but I love the player in question, so I hopes he does accept. Who are you in GC45? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bolton do indeed adopt a very rugged and direct approach to their play, but Fulham are quite the opposite. Roy Hodgson has helped them develop in a pretty good team who play some very decent football and to be fair, they have been like that for many years (thanks, mainly, to Jean Tigana). That said, I think Jacko misinterpreted your initial statement, as I don't think you were calling their football teams ugly; more so that any deal for one of your players containing a Bolton or Fulham player would make the deal ugly. Or am I just completely wrong (and if I am, I shall retreat back into the hole that I crawled out of... )? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's not only those 2 teams, but also teams like WBA, Wigan, Hull. Every country has that kind of teams, the kind that always finish between 7th and 18th place, never relegate, but never really get the hearts pumped up. The discussion started with Walcott, of whom I believe he does get the hearts pumped up of a much bigger crowd than for instance Brede Hangeland does. Hangeland is a decent player, get's the job done, but I can't say I'm dreaming of Hangeland nor Fulham as a whole when thinking of football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This kind of feels like going down a road that we've all already been down before, and I'm sure that you don't have the same effort or desire to go down it once more, disproving your detractors along the way.

I was thinking of that myself, but I wouldn't allow it to go that way. I have the link of that thread and I was already prepared to just copy/paste it when inappropriate responses occured. Thought I just politely answered Jacks question, as we are both equally entitled to give each other the word. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
