You OK eds? Long time no speak. I've just been given my birthday gift which is tickets in the empire to see Barnsie, Aldo and Thompson. I've seen Barnes and Aldo do their own nights but not Thompson. I'm looking forward to it. Got me thinking about the 3, Barnses was just pure talent, Aldo worked really hard to get where he went, but Thompson was before my time. Was he a cruncher or more a Hansen type? But I always liked natural talent and grew up watching football Italia. How would yous Rate Roberto Baggio? Franco Baresi and a bit later on Fabio Canavaro?
{Ed001's Note - Thommo was before my time, but he was a midfielder who was dropped back into defence, so I would assume he was more of a Hansen type.
Baggio was special, especially considering he was playing for most of his career with knackered knees.
I loved Baresi, he was my favourite, would love watching him defend as he just defended properly.
Cannavaro was good too. The problem was with watching him was his height always distracted away from how good he was. He was brilliant, but commentators and pundits never shut up about his height.}

I remember that. He had a great jump but rarely needed to use it as he was very strong and tenacious plus always positionally sound so height didn't matter. Baresi at the time I watched him always got the "he's not as quick as he used to be " treatment but again he didn't need to be.

Baresi was world class Ed001.

Thomson was a lot like Hansen - one level down from Jocky - and in a way he was a bit like a prototype for Hansen. Good footballer but also a tough sod despite it looking like a bit of a breeze would knock him over. Good on the ball, always seemed to have time and a very good defender.

Hansen said he preferred playing with Thompson to Lawrenson. That surprised me because Lawrenson was a superb player. But Hansen reckoned Thommo had more nous and was more like himself than Lawro was.
Thompson was just before my time and Lawrenson was my era and one of my favourite players though.

Never saw Thommo play but can vouch for the fact he's a lovely guy! He lives and breathes Liverpool FC.

Baggio was called the Devine Ponytail for a reason. Absolute legend.

Fernando Redondos son according to Wikipedia. Injuries aside I thought he was a world class midfielder. If his son can emulate him then he's going to be some player.

This sort of stuff ticks me off. I think he should lead the way and flea before he gets collared.

For me there's only one Dynamo and that is of course the massive bloke from Running Man who gets electrocuted when the sprinklers go off.

I worked with a lady who when she got married her surname changed from Skelly to Kelly and the best man said in his speech that he'd been waiting for someone to knock the S out of her for years.

Fair do's fellas. My misreading. No offence meant Monkey.

That was made all the more exciting as the team couldn't play at home for a while so my dad and hid mates where coming back with storied about that team and especially Barnes but I didn't believe anything could compare to Rushie until I finally got to see them live.

I don't know about the players performances tailing off but I know my work performance wasn't up to snuff today.

Absolutely. What a brave tough woman.
18 Apr 2025 14:11:08
Oh no. So sad. What a woman she was.

Two of the best "Number 10s" I've seen were Roberto Baggio and Denis Bergkamp. Imagine what a play of their talents would be worth these days. Obviously Maradona was the best in that position but he was pure individual brilliance. As for our team i would like to see Elliot given a go but sadly it doesn't look like it's going to happen .
