So I was on Youtube the other day . Up popped a vid of Berb's greatest moments and god ,he's good .
In the responses was one from a Manc fan . ' Why doesn't he play like that for us ' ?
Started me thinking and forming theories .... At Spurs he was the undisputed king of the castle . He was arrogant and rude to others he considered unfit to clean his boots ,which included just about everybody . When he played he knew the onus was on him to make things happen . If an outrageous idea came to him on the pitch , he'd try it as there'd be no comeback from disappointed fans/players/staff cos we all thought of him so highly . Consequently he'd ( sometimes )work to the limits of his talent and pull off simply stunning things for us .
I thought he would be a sensation at Utd but he's retreated into becoming simply a good player as he realises there are players there with great talent too and maybe doesn't need to pull up trees anymore:shrug: . I think its a loss to football .
He said that utd were good for him because there was 'nowhere to hide' implying he hid a lot with us ,but alongside his disappearing acts for us came some of the most sublime bits of football ever seen at Spurs .
Disappointed he left us for medals (he'll have a sackful soon) but in my small minded Spurs fan way am happy to see that he has found out that in his lust for medals , he has lost something along the way . He lives for creating brilliance, an artist... and sitting on the Manc bench or even not on the bench I wonder if he ever thinks of his salad days with us and the unconditional love we gave him which led to the flowering of his wonderful talent .
