Great purchase from Harry, hard to see Gallas and Dawson breaking up current partnership..

Re Kaboul song being sung today, couldn't make out the words on TV, someone please post. Thanks

Pleased to say, I was right behind the lad (not physically :eek:mg:), during his first stint at the Lane...felt that he was in a massively difficult situation, some of the stick he got was plain unfair, and there was plenty of evidence of the type of player he could/would become.

Great performance from in tonight, absolute dominance from him in the air from all of Given's goal kicks - he's been great all season to be fair.

So glad his experience is catching up to his ability. That's all that was missing first time around, the fans are much more respecting now, he's a beast and he'll be here for years.

That tackle on gabby agbonhlahor one if the quickest players in the prem was insane
Could be totally off here, but that kind of tackle seems like a direct result of playing with someone like Ledley King, he is showing all those qualities we saw in the the young Ledley King. Wins everything in the air, and has a great timing in the tackle, pace, and poise.

I love the bit when the commentator was on about how quick he is ..... The lad is showing the quality he really is... funny how managers make players Ramos destroyed Kaboul and 'Arry Built the guy into the player he is .. LOVE IT !!!!

I dont think Ramos destroyed him.

I think he was a bit immature at that time.

Harry had the foresight and corage to belive in him and Jordan etc worked on him.

Excellent player

He's my first choice CB at the moment. he has it all, and is rapidly gaining experience and the ability to read the game.

He's really improved this season. His aerial presence is imperious. Every long ball just seems to get Kaboul meat head treatment.

I agree that he was excellent yesterday.

Always preferred him to Daws, he has finally come right. Long may King play next to him!

There was a point in the match in the second half when we had the ball and Villa had basically given up following possession stats of 70/30 in our favour.

King was the fulcrum in a passing phase of about twenty passes between midfield and back four and I swear he hardly moved outside a five metre square box!

That back four is looking tighter by the game, and special mention has to go to Disco Benny who was immense.

I was impressed when I saw him at St Patricks (in the Berba days!) but, as was the norm, in those days, he was 'wasted' and ended up at Pompey....for a spell....but, as has been voiced here, recently, the player is now showing that we were correct to appreciate his quality...from Day 1. I can remember Startingprices contributions, at that time...and he has been vindicated, in full. COYS!
