Just lie down at the edge of the pitch when the groundsmen are marking the lines.
Moment of last night for me happened when the camera cuts to our 'ghetto' Prince on the bench to see him preparing to come on. Rather than the traditional warming-up exercises, he appears to be doing up his hair and rolling up his sleeves to show off his muscles.
First thought was that we had signed a bit of a bell-end. Then suddenly came to realise that there is a fine line between genius and madness and that he was treading it just perfectly. Next followed that scything tackle and a shot that nearly hit the corner flag. Now he comes up with the classic quote
"The last time I wished I wasn't somewhere was in London and I got lost. I was thinking 'wow, what shall I do now!'."

the guy's got cult-hero written all over him. let's all roll up our sleeves in honour.
I think a lot of fans will have appreciated that tackle - yeah, he got a booking, yeah, he was way too keen coming in like that, but it was a fair tackle - the fact that them tackles are always 50/50 as to whether the ref agree's or not, and considering we were playing in the waffa cup, where the rules are all upsidedownontheirhead when it comes to fouls, he should've expected it to go against him.
We all remember the punishment for Robbo for actually winning the ball with a magnificent save, and the yellow that should've been a red, if there was inded a foul - the refs in europe are... lets say, "Special" :up:
After his showing last night, next time he's on the bench for a game, or perhaps starts, you know that each player in the midfield will have that in the back of their head and, when receiving the ball will have to wonder if a missiles not about to come burning over their laces - it's good to have that aggression in the middle. If KPB does indeed have the kind of enthusiasm of Teemu, the pace and technique of Steed and more of them sliding toe-in tackles in his kitbag, we've found ourselves a real gem here...
He looks really hungry for the ball and to get stuck in, which has been missing from our team a bit lately.
Ramos definitley likes him, probably why he was on his way to Sevilla before we came in at the last moment and signed him.
I like this kid. Despite the 'Ghetto' image he's come across as anything but a Big I Am in his interviews. He's got his feet on the ground and realises he's got to earn himself a starting place.
That was a good old-fashioned tackle last night, and the card was definitely harsh.
are we then indirectly praising comolli who brought him to the club when it was reported that Jol wanted someone with more experience?
