Lol no I'm not lost Rune
and it's good to be back in touch with you again.
I usually just read these club threads sometimes and have actually found myself agreeing with you more often than I used to in the past but barely ever bother posting. This time I wanted to thank Marukomu for sharing that vid because I enjoyed it and it might help encourage rather than discourage future similar activity.
p.s. I've posted in here before. Very rarely but at least once I seem to remember I made a rather large post about how Fernando Torres was over-rated (at the time) and how his reputation exceeded what he's actually performed like on the pitch (at that time). This was when he was near his end with Atletico and not actually performing very well (missing sitters, even penalties) but raved about in the media especially the foreign ones like English one which didn't actually view his performances on a full 90 min weekly basis in La Liga and was raving about him mercilessly. At that time, he had not yet signed for Liverpool and some Man Utd fans were wanting their club to sign him, that's when I made that post.
Of course that is a loooong time ago and since then El Nino did move to EPL and Liverpool and has totally proven me wrong!
The boy who is incredibly talented but also what I call a '
confidence-player' similar to Berbatov or Gilardino in this respect, has made SUCH tremendous progress under Rafa Benitez that he is now one of if not the world's best striker in my eyes. And now of course I'm perfectly happy for media to be raving about him and getting all this praise and recognition because he has truly earned it over this and last season and deserves it. Hell, I'm a huge fan myself now.
The funniest thing is that they are from completely different upbringings and cultures, yet football bonds them together.
Yah very true.
They do have their commonalities as well however. 3 fairly short foreigners who struggle with the English language and had to transition to a new culture/league, club and team-mates where as others like O'Shea, Giggs, Scholes, Brown, Neville, etc already were pretty much at home. So if anything, the adaptation and 'fitting in' they had to do could be key reasons why these 3 would chill together and become great friends. From the looks of it, Evra's obviously been making heaps of progress with the language though.
There was one bit where his laugh really reminded me of Eddie Murphy!
I think Redcafe forum should get applause for this. Great stuff
