Apologies if this has already been posted but i couldn’t see it anywhere.

Berbs is currently playing in India where David James is his manager.

I’m not entirely sure if he’s happy with James....

I'll always have a respect for David James after he played against us (must've been Pompey?) and the Park Lane sang at him, "England's Number Four! England's, England's Number Four!"

He then conceded a really sloppy goal and it changed to, "England's Number Five! England's, England's Number Five!" to which he turned around and begged us to change it back to four :D

Always had the impression he's at least someone who can take a joke.

It is funny and likely true, but that is really unprofessional of him.

I’m almost certain it was the same game where I started a shit chant, as I used to do with all the opposition goalies, by shouting their first name loudly and would prolong it. This is the only time it ever caught on and the whole park lane and shelf were chanting ‘DAAAAAAAAAAAAVIIIIIIDDDDD, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVIIIIIDDD, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVIIIIIIIIDDDD’ etc.

He turned round and looked as if to say ‘ffs what do I even do with that’.

I remember him being asked about it at the time and he said something to the effect of "I expend my energy when it is useful to the team. There's little use to the team of me running around like a headless chicken for 90 minutes."

I hate the way he left us but he was the Vertonghen of forwards. Rolls-Royce of a player. Was it a Bolton game where we were down to 10 men and he bossed it as a lone forward when lone forwards weren't really a thing?

And this has been the biggest difference between English football and most of Europe for over a century.

I thought it was Fulham whre we won 4-0. My memory is a bit shit though, you're probably right.
