Scroll back at the abuse Gabby took and see if it’s not “fans of”.

He did him self no favours with us relegation season but the abuse he took by the few cyber warriors was out of order.

You'd know all about that sort of thing.

If they were cyber warriors he wouldn't have taken any of it not having seen or heard it.

He had potential, hung around a good while and was clearly part of the decline. How much of it could be down to him is anyone's guess but the reality is if he'd applied himself to every match the way he did against the Blues we'd have been in much better shape and his goal-scoring record would be infinitely better.

The goal at Arsenal is my favourite, he made a top class centre half in Gallas look like Steve Simms.
At that point he had the potential to be a great player but it turned out to be his peak, all downhill from there.

The derby goal mentioned earlier though, I don't think I've ever celebrated a goal with so much laughter.

It seemed to go wrong when he discovered the gym. Lost his pace and energy.

That's a good point.  He seemed to get stuck into the weights one summer, and came back noticeably beefed up.  Don't think it suited his game to be honest.

It's not as if it made him hold the ball up better either.

Just seemed to blunt his main attribute.

Holding the ball up is a prerequisite for a forward these days, goals and assists are not required.

it appeared he then lost motivation, effort and work rate in later years too.

Millions In the bank can do that - so sad he went out like that.

He could have buggered off five years before he did, and he'd still be our record Premier League signing and the memory of him would be a lot less tarnished.

Don't get me wrong, I couldn't give less of a fuck, but how long do you intend hanging around on the wind?
It's starting to get a bit monotonous.
