You shut your god damn lie hole right now!
even though you're right about the inconsistency, he was still great on his day and i'd still love him!
[/quote] He annoyed me more than he wowed me though.

A lazy showboater IMHO. As regards still loving him - where is he now?
[/quote]
Yeah, I'd love another lazy showboater who consistently scores in the double figures every season. What a passenger he was. Luis Garcia was inventive. Frustrating, yes, but if you're going to try something different, you can't expect it to come off every time. Frankly, I'm surprised people are so scathing of him given that he was instrumental in our only major success of the last three decades.
[/quote]Eh? So was Neil Mellor and Sinema Pongolle Wheres their love?
Plus it was hardly our ONLY major success. We have won about 4 Fa cups and a Uefa cup in the past 30 years Del.
I'll concede that he was terrific in Europe and OFTEN made the difference in those games, but he spent 90% of all league games doing the best part of fuck all......fuck all except making me want to eviscerate him.

You're not honestly comparing Mellor's and Pongolle's contributions to Garcia's in our CL run? He scored 5 goals, most of them crucial. And neither Pongolle nor Mellor averaged over 10 goals a season either.
And as nice as the FA cups and that treble season were, I don't think they're even remotely comparable to 2005 in terms of achievement. But that's semantics really.
P.S. Gerry, I obviously meant two decades. Well spotted 😉
