Wayne Bridge....

[Albion Robster]

Definitely MOTM today. True Football connoisseurs know Bridge played a brilliant game today.
He won some big tackles and always provided an outlet on the left-hand side. Well and truly kept Zaha in his pocket all game.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

He was outstanding. Zaha should have kept going at Calde - may have got through at some stage, but was outclassed by Wayne.

I didn't understand why Zaha, having had some joy against Calde, swapped sides, and spent the second half in Bridge's pocket.

 

[Baaaald]

Bridge was awesome. He is a clever footballer, you can see he see's the game one step ahead of everyone else. I hope he can sign for us. Was class.

 

[El Turi]

He has been so good all season. He is definitely a very strong contender for player of the season.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Thought he had an average game by his standards...... which is to say exceptional! Still best player in the division over the season as a whole.

Bridcutt was immense, LuaLua showed what he can do when on form (seen before but on and off) and Ulloa was his usual imaculate self.

If we're still in this league next season and Lopez delivers those balls, free-kicks and pens.......... god help the other 23 clubs if we can do it against the lesser sides too.

 

[4-p]

I don't think he deserved the booking

 

[8ace]

He is way too good for this division, can't see him being here next season unfortunately

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Whilst there were others who were decent today, he was my MOM.

Agree....I don't think the chances of signing are good unfortunately....it would mean a massive paycut....probably finish his career in the USA....hope I'm proved wrong though....certainly have a better chance IF we got promoted.

He is too good for this division but fortunately for us most premier league teams will see him as past his best and so will not want to risk a long term contract. If we offered him a 2 year deal id say we're in with a chance of keeping him.

Gus said in todays post match interview that he needs to start talking to him about contracts. I dont think he'd say something like that if we had zero chance of keeping him.

 

[Sheebo]

One of nscs finest saw him amd shouted is that zaha in your rucksack as he was leaving

Did he hear / react?

Sounds promising Tom but I'm not gonna get my hopes up just yet.

Difficult to say, he couldn't be heard that well trying to shout through the zip.

 

[bhawoddy]

doesnt his girlfriend live locally?........ that might help.

But a few teddys and rattles flew out of there at the same time...

I don't think I've seen a pro footballer who behaves like a 7-year old as much as he does.

Does anyone else think it's a bit cruel to put another human being into a rucksack?And possibly even racist? Disgusting.

 

[BensGrandad]

Bridge is the best left back we have had at this club. International class. legend.

Since John Templeman.

Except that John Templeman played predominately as either a right half (midfielder) or right back. Bridge was immense and showed his natural class and ability as usual.

Sheebo thinks it's fine.

I think it's understandable to want to take a momento home after such a great display..

Cool.
