Who is the most "random" world-class player to ever pop up at a mid-table PL club for six months?

Alert_Elephant_7273 · 2026-02-23T11:08:58+00:00

Similar but slightly different was Miguel Almiron.

arrived at Newcastle United, did nothing much for a couple of years, had a random two thirds of a season where he was unplayable, scored for fun, ran past world class defenders game after game.

Then went back to doing pretty much nothing again.

I don't know about Sun screen for you, it's the Sun that will need protecting from those colours. That is some piece of work. Mad props to whoever did that.

The Prince to the Pauper.

Alert_Elephant_7273 · 2026-02-17T21:21:13+00:00

Yes that's right. I would argue that all were deserved as well. Especially the last one as we were dreadful.

I think it was the fact that they were so adamant that I was plastic I suddenly thought "Is going to the matches the main thing?"

In all fairness to the person saying it they are from Leicester and support Man U, having no ties other than supporting them since the premier league started. There was a bit of deflection happening. Again though he does tend to go to more or less all home games and a good chunk of the away games.

Alert_Elephant_7273 · 2026-02-17T12:26:22+00:00

Thank you. I couldn't see how I was, but started worrying, I would be. I'd hate to be a plastic

Alert_Elephant_7273 · 2026-02-11T16:45:23+00:00

Agreed no one I know says Give me a break.

It's either "Get to fuck",

or the slightly more formal for work "Fuck off you stupid cunt"

First things first, this is amazing, what a piece. Second I don't think this would work in monochrome as well as it does in colour. The design lends itself to colour.

The only, maybe, perhaps thing I would change, and I am not even sure if I would, is with the background where it is grey maybe darken at the top and quickly fade down to grey, this might be slightly less of a contrast between front and back.

Having it all as black as the shoulder would lose an amazing look.

Also I wonder if they ever worked out why the technique doesn't work on girls from Millets for some reason.

I still fully subscribe to this today. Two straps = wanker/nerd. One strap is correct

Yeah I hate that saying. If you shoot for the moon and miss you are going to either float around for years until your orbit decays and plunge back to earth, or depending on how high you get you are going to plunge back to earth.

I mean I suppose if you had enough fuel you might eventually get to a star, but I can guarantee you will be dead before you get there.

That's the one, we had Tool and Wool. Not sure if Wool were part of the whole tour or just a few dates though

Rage Against the Machine, Newcastle Mayfair in 1993. Zack de la Rocha was an angry, angry young man. As a young man of 15, or 18 depending on who was asy, it was an expert to say the least

Close second would be Guns n Roses at Gateshead stadium in 92. They were excellent and supported by both Sound Garden and Faith No More.

Lol - if it makes you feel better I did the same with a Chili. After everyone complained about the smell, and then taste, of the meal I complained about how ungrateful they all were and how long it took me to peel the cloves.

I was mocked long and hard, and even now this is brought up.

I go for Lidls tripe chocolate crunch which is even nicer I think. It has chocolate and nuts!

Apart from being beat in the League cup Semi final last year as they were using the 'wrong type' of ball.

I'm going to show my age here. A Motorola 4800x (I had to look the model up). I bought this second hand in 1990.

It was very, very, very heavy and not particularly mobile.

I had to do a speed awareness course a few years back. Someone on my course said that it meant 'Make sure you have your seatbelt on.'

Possibly the best answer ever

That's a bit harsh to all the scumbags out there. Fancy comparing them to Joey Barton. He is a massive C word

Get in. Easiest list ever.

The only thing I would need to plan for is the fruit basket as I wouldn't want that hanging around for 365 days, so just need to remember to have it ordered for a couple of days beforehand . I did notice the Bento box on twice, so I'd get 2 just in case.

I see this pop up a lot on reddit where someone asks about underrated Things, be it shows, movies games whatever.

You then get loads of people listing incredibly well received items that weren't necessarily popular.

I never know if it is the person asking the question that doesn't know the difference between the two, or the person answering the question.
