Chamakh wasn't even all that good in France

I remember when he signed for Arsenal, and just before when he was being hyped up.

He was good in the champions league for Bordeaux, people got the idea he was a goalscorer because he scored a decent amount in the competition that year

Hyped up being the key word. I could never understand why people were saying he was a brilliant goalscorer. He was frankly quite below average in France...

One man saw to that, Gourcuff.

Their link-up play was great

The fuck happened to Gourcouff, havent heard of him in ages.

He's at Lyon, isn't he?

Went to Lyon and bottled it as far as I know

Cam wrote:He's at Lyon, isn't he?

Yeah but he's slowly going down hill at Lyon and I think he's looking for a move at the end of the season.

He should be. I would take him at United in a heartbeat, but given that Evra hates his guts I imagine that wouldn't work out too well. He was a proper bastard to him in South Africa, as were most of the French squad. According to an insider (that was on the Guardian podcast) they were on his back because he brought a book, they found him to be "intellectually arrogant".

Domenech was too weak to take care of it and I have no doubt that Gourcuff's confidence and motivation was heavily damaged by the disgraceful treatment he recieved.

They bullied him because he brought a book with him?

Yea, I heard that podcast

Its cos he's attractive, young and at the time, the poster boy of French football, there was alot of jealousy towards him. They just targeted that he wasnt playing computer games or anything

Cam wrote:They bullied him because he brought a book with him?

He prefers the opera. That's what happens when you let that arrogant, insolent tosser Evra near another human being.

Cam wrote:They bullied him because he brought a book with him?

Yes. He's also from a more intellectual family, and was far more well off as a child. Which means he actually has better manners than most of them. Which is another thing he got stick for. He was too decent. He did lash out once or twice because they REFUSED to pass him the ball, and they used that to suggest to Domenech that he was "arrogant". He was their fucking playmaker, one of the best in the World at the time and they just ignored him.

Yeah, I was so furious when I first heard that (during the World Cup) and as the details of the bullying was revealed I have begun to hate a large part of that French team, and Domenech for being too weak to handle it.

Evra wasn't the worst, but he was certianly one of the many being a proper bastard.

to be fair imagine you are

Still though. Not giving the ball to the playmaker is a fucking disgrace. Zidane would have demanded respect, but due to Gourcuff's age and "better" upbringing he just tried to get on with it. His poor showing in the WC ruined his reputation in France as well, and is no doubt the reason for his dip in form after the WC.

If Blanc had been in charge during the WC Gourcuff would have been on of the hottest playmakers in Europe. I have no doubt about it.

Damn, I never knew all this about Gourcuff. I knew about that 'insider' thing, and that he was an outcast, but I never knew the reasons behind it. Wasn't there only about 3 players in that French squad who decided to get on with it all? Gourcuff, Sagna and someone else I think.

That France squad was absolutely shite, bet Nasri and Benzema were glad they didn't go.

Abidal

Blanc would have sent Anelka, Malouda, Ribery and Evra home the way they were acting...

Never knew all this about Gourcuff, I feel sorry for the guy.

In 11 June 2010, Gourcuff made his FIFA World Cup debut in the team's opening group stage match against Uruguay. The match ended 0–0 with Gourcuff being substituted out in the second half. Following the match against Uruguay, former international Just Fontaine stated that Gourcuff "was lost" during the match. It was later reported by the media that midfielder Franck Ribéry and striker Nicolas Anelka had purposely "froze-out" Gourcuff in the Uruguay match

What horrible cunts.

Every single match where he looked "lost" was the result of a majority of the players deciding that they wouldn't pass to him, and that they would not run after his passes. You can clearly see a few times against Uruguay where Gourcuff places the ball in the path of Anelka and he just ignores it, and begins bitching about it being hit too hard.

Are there any youtube videos showing this? I really liked gurcouff when he was at bordeux, such a shame to see him he hasnt fullfulled his potential.

Blackburn game can come quick enough now.

No worries, we'll win the next two...then draw or lose the third.

I'm sure you were looking forward to Wigan

Alan Hansen, Liverpool legend and former team-mate of Kenneth Dalglish, was on MotD referring to black people as 'coloured' tonight. I'd like to think that maybe Liverpool FC will be better after Kenneth Dalglish is dead, but the reality is that it's just going to get taken over by the people whose minds he is now poisoning, and the adoration for people like Suarez, who Dalglish himself now wears T-Shirts idolising.

Absolutely nothing wrong with what Hansen said.
