A true legend.

If it hadn't been so serious, it would have been funny. Especially the comment about two of them being kick-offs.

I'm going to put my tin hat on here (and I personally don't think he comes near a legend and was a limited player but loved his pace when he was at his best and think it scared the opposition so much it helped the team overall)... but interestingly the panel are blaming the lack of touches on his team mates.

I think the fact he has been at the club for so long and is from the area has led to him being labelled a 'legend' by some.  It is indisputable that he had a bright start to his career, but after O'Neill left he became the very epitome of the club's decline.  I don't even think his length of time at the club is anything to be applauded seeing as it was only extended through poor management decisions offering him new contracts and the fact that he knew he would not have got the same kind of money anywhere else.

when I started going off Gabby was when he started to miss those one on ones and just chuckle to himself after he missed them , thats when he knew he was on an easy ride here .   

At last it has come to the end.

I agree on this.  I don't mind strikers missing chances, but I want them to be annoyed about it and I want to see evidence that they're trying to do something about it, for Gabby the only thing you ever saw that he'd worked on was adding bulk (and losing pace) to try to a be a target man, which was stupid.

Not understanding his role in the squad, his strengths and weaknesses and not giving a shit about addressing the latter is why he's not a club legend.

Mongtards! Fucking love it. My word of the week. Cheers Tayls.

Are you being serious ? Personally I find the term distasteful

Me too.

Yes, it's not great is it? My word of the week would be 'Grandiloquent' by the way. Not sure why that came into my head.

I find it highly offensive. I think if those using/praising it knew the origins they'd not think it was so clever either.

He was doing the same tedious routine last time which got him banned, just ignore him he'll get himself banned again soon. Or I may just ban him again anyway.

Once you've spoken to your gaffer you can.

Bye.

Thank fuck for that.

I think TBAR are on a recruitment drive. Previous posters turn up here to shit-stir, and they're firing out update emails again.

Ok, my apologies. No harm intended and I take it back.

Re the bit in bold, was that his problem or that of the manager / coaches advising him?
Gabby has been an arse over the last few years, but I wonder how much has been poorly advised / manipulated by those who should know better.

Maybe my memory is playing tricks but i seem to remember MON was non-too pleased with him coming back one summer looking like he was planning to unify the middleweight boxing championship. He obviously got a bee in his bonnet about bulking up and not being the sharpest knife in the drawer didn't realise it would effect his mobility.

It was Houllier that had the issue with it.

And I think he would have been gone had Houllier stayed for a second season.

Probablyu a bit of both.  As I say, I'd expect someone who is a club legend to understand that his pace was his weapon and work on making best use of it rather than hitting the gym and losing half a yard.
