God's Football 2015-2016 season thread

[DK]

just ended up on a small spiral through premier league history on auntie beeb and gave me an idea for some fun nostalgia, so let's discuss players you were fond of that never played for your team. just the class random players who have graced the top flight over the years, be they top tier gods or cult heroes.

I always had a soft spot for Nobby Solano when he played, he was great. Faustino Asprilla and his fifa flips as well was a hero. mental Jens Lehmann maybe Arsenals greatest hero and the best thing they have ever done for English football.

Luis Boa Morte was someone I always wanted at City back when he was playing for Fulham, Luis on the left side and Tricky Trev Sinclair was my winger dream team. Proper full on wrecked trout on Fifa 2003 with those two.

There's people who still like this guy? Weird.

I know. Philippe Coutinho is a tosser.

EDIT: On the subject of players I was fond of who never played for my team, Ferrie Bodde.

Dave Benson-Phillips and Lee Trundle. Oh, and Zlatan.

God Bless America. The naffest football scuffle of all time, followed by an utterly hilarious reprise of WHO ARE YA, complete with thick yankee brogue. If they keep this up I may become interested in MLS.

As a resident New Yorker and American, let me just say... both teams suck.

Bring back the Metrostars name!


Take care all.

Seems like not only are the stars retiring in the US, but the fans are too!

I thought Georgi Kinkladze was awesome when he played for City. Oh, and Sasa Curcic. What happened to him?

[Old Manus]

No more Eva Carneiro gracing our TV screens during injuries. RIP.

this man is now my mission in life. I will find him and I will destroy him, on a cellular level. HE MUST BE PUNISHED

...BJ Penn?!

[Loony BoB]

Wow, that escalated quickly.

Oh don't we all just love the sweet, sweet taste of Jose's tears?

Also I now officially like Swansea because of their newest signing:

Botti Biabi signs a three-year deal with Swansea in a deal that could be worth up to £700,000.

Botti Biabi is the greatest name in the Premier League right now and I will not hear otherwise. That combined with the legend that is Jonjo and the treat that is Jefferson Montero who Brendan Rodgers will undoubtedly sign at some point means I am all aboard the Swan train again. Sorry Old Manus.

[Old Manus]

Well that's our undefeated streak over.

Stop being so negative or else I'll smack your Botti.
