I think I remember Kenny scoring in his first 5 or 6 games for us.
Proof...I need PROOF.
Have you got a list ?
dmish gotta list....WHERE'S YOUR LIST ???!!!
It's ok spider Neil, I'm fine.
Owen? Was it not against Wimbledon?
He means Torres.
Yes I did.
Just been looking on LFChistory, Torres scored on his home debut but not his debut which was against Villa.
Yeah and that first goal didn't count because when he 'skinned Chelsea' he only really got past Ben Haim, which is kinda like getting past a well worn milk float. In retrospect it turns out that Torres was shit and it was just strange configurations of prisms and magnets around anfield that made him look good.
I wonder if black people growing up in an overwhelmingly white area are also given to thinking black people look more similar than white people? I suppose they must be.
Er, probably should've quoted FFF's post above, in case this seems random. 😳

You probably shouldnt have posted it at all given how little fucking sense it makes.
Makes sense to me. If I grew up in an area where everybody was black except for a few white people I didn't really know, would I be less able to distinguish the white people from each other - as I put less effort into memorizing their faces in the first place - thinking (sub-consciously) that their colour would distinguish them sufficiently.
No, it makes sense. If all you ever see are white faces and features, and then you see 2 black people, they are obviously going to look more similar than whites because the differences between them are smaller than the difference between the two races. It's all relative.
Wisdom & Johnson are similar build & play in the same position, which you see from a long way away.
Were I to see them up close I'd be fucking worried if I got them mixed up, as they don't look alike.
Yeah, realise that, was talking generally.
It'd have to be something like that. I had a half-Swedish friend in the little village I grew up in, I suppose I could ask him, but it would be a pretty delicate topic to broach.
Yeah, ask him about it and get back to us.
Next time I see him I will. 🙂 Tbh I don't think he'd mind. 😎
Heh, now I just pictured the inside of my head with wisdom, Johnson & Samuel l.Jackson photos in a folder inside.
I have just watched Django Unchained though, & Jackson was great in it, so that could be why.
Commentators must feel their sphincter spasm every time they get a black player's name wrong. Seeing their career going down in flames. That utter cunt on ESPN the other day called Wisdom Sturridge until the camera panned in. Then he tried to backtrack and sounded even more of a cunt than usual, if that's possible.
Really? I missed this. Fucking excellent to hear that.
It happens very often that they mix up white men too so I doubt its a big deal
Rarer for white players to be mixed up at a distance, it's just amusing to me that commentators can only squirm and wriggle when they call a black guy the wrong name. You can feel their little brains whirring with the possible consequences of being accused of thinking 'they all look the same'. All commentators are utter, utter twats who do nothing to enhance watching football on TV, and everything to ruin it.
Whatever happened to the Sky channel where you could choose to watch the game from behind the goal with only crowd noise? Or did I dream that?
