Get a sense of humour Tony!

Shame I like him but evolution moves quicker. If he raced a chimp it would be human by the time Ricky gets the the finishing line.

 

Got absolutely nothing against the lad, same with Borini, honest players who try their best, unlike Balotelli, you can't knock that. They shouldn't have been bought but that's not their fault.

Nailed on for Bournemouth apparently.

I laugh at loads of stuff, but don't dont find the sinking of a passenger ship and the death of innocent men, women and children, remotely funny.

Enough about Lambert's wayward shooting, what about the Titanic? 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

In the first post it states 'He's no Aguero', I agree.

Vulgar humour, hopefully LFD can do better to keep the relationship afloat, maybe this could help break the ice.

What do Rickie Lambert and the Titanic have in common?

 

They both came a cropper when they met with something white and gleaming?

Was saying this to a load of Bournemouth fans down the beachfront the other day and they wouldn't have it.

 

Be a good signing for them.

I agree, it shouldn't have happened - should have stayed at Southampton.

 

Just like Lambert.

 

It is more sad than funny.

[Trumo]

Retired.

Rickie Lambert: Ex-England, Southampton, Liverpool & West Brom striker retires

 

Former England striker Rickie Lambert has announced his retirement from football.

 

The 35-year-old ex-Southampton, Liverpool and West Brom forward has been without a club since leaving Cardiff City by mutual consent in July.

 

He scored 218 goals in 607 league games in a career that spanned 19 years and took in nine clubs.

 

"I feel lucky to have been involved in this sport for as long as I have," said the Liverpool-born forward.

 

Lambert scored three goals in 11 appearances for England and came on as a substitute at the 2014 World Cup.

 

"I have had some ups and downs in my career, but to have represented clubs like Southampton and Liverpool and playing for my country in a World Cup were beyond my wildest dreams," he said.

 

"Playing and scoring for England is probably my proudest professional moment and I will look back at every aspect of how I got there with fond memories."

 

His club career started at Blackpool and included spells at Macclesfield Town, Stockport County, Rochdale and Bristol Rovers.

 

Having spent his early career in in the lower leagues, Lambert realised his ambition of playing in the Premier League, at the age of 30 for Southampton.

 

Lambert's form for the Saints earned a call-up to the England squad and he scored the winner on his international debut in a 3-2 win over Scotland in 2013.

He retired instead of playing for Woy at Palace. Good choice

Agreed, breaking your own legs would be preferable than owlball

Some of the players we've signed in the last 10 years must be up there with the worst ever in the premiership, Lambert, Koncheski, Adam, Carroll, and we wonder why we're always also rans. Nobody signs shite quite like us. Other clubs sign players who may turn out to be shite, we sign players who we all KNOW are shite and do in fact turn out to be shite.

[Grinch]

Borini, Lambert and Ballotelli. Those where the days we'll tell the grandkids about.

[The Golden Eel]

Always felt a bit sorry for him that his spell here didn't go better.

[El Rojo]

If the 't' at the end of his name was silent, or if his name was Lambertinho,  you'd all.......don't really know where I'm going with this one.

[jimmycase]

Just wasnt good enough for LFC, Im afraid.

It's like seeing a motorway pile up but still driving headlong into it despite seeing all the warning signs.

He was ill advised to move here,  Past his best , which was never good enough anyway, slow and trying to slot into system that he was totally unsuited to play,  There was never a hope in hell he would make a telling contribution, Bought as a squad filler and made a weak bench even weaker. A very good player in the Championship in his prime. 

[Baltar]

I don't think he was rubbish, far from it. But never really fit in with the team we had. He was a useful backup option, but nothing more. And it was nice to have a boyhood red return home to the club years after he was let go. Who doesn't like a heartwarming tale like that?

He was good enough for Southampton in the Premier League - obviously not proper Liverpool first XI quality, but as a signing, I don't think it was that stupid and from his point of view, he was never going to say no. The team became a total mess that season and I just find it a bit unfortunate for him on a personal level that it went that way given how clearly happy he was when he signed. I don't recall many people saying it was an awful signing at the time either but I might be wrong about that.

Had he not been a red returning to his boyhood club the move would have been derided by many, He was also cheap by today's standards which kept the moneyball obsessives happy.

His goals got Southampton promoted which was no mean achievement when you see the club now ; a well financed and solid premiership outfit , He wasn't good enough for them and the emotional move home suited their purposes

Jose Jones called out this transfer straight away as absolute bollocks.  I disagreed with him but he was 100% correct.
