Xabi is my hero

[Xherdan]

Excellent Interview. Two class acts.

 

 

Im in the Xabi will stay camp. After the season he has had it would be a fucking stupid move to let him go. He is so important to our tempo and style of play, plus he loves the place.

[dennis tooth]

I fucking love him so much.

 

I'll be devastated if Rafa fucks him off in the summer, which I think he will.

 

Remember to thank Rafa for bringing him here in the first plaice.

[mattyq]

Fucking quality interview!

Repped

[el nino laff]

Good auld interview that!

Like when he talks bout him having a more controlled role on the pitch and cant get into the box that uch, but he doesnt care because he rather be pulling the strings.. Answers why he doesnt get much goals and if he did we would lose the string pulling from our team! Leave the goals to Gerrard Torres and Silva/Eto'o/Villa/Ribery haha

[Ted]

I think I love him more than I love my own mother.

 

He's a class act on and off the pitch. The complete polar opposite of everything Man U and Chelsea represent.

 

If we sell him in the summer it would be a mistake of fucking monumental proportions.

Anyone remember this game:

 

YouTube - Xabi Alonso - The pass master

 

I do. One of the best individual performances of the last generation.

Maybe, but if there is one player I can see becoming a great manager its Xabi.

[dave u]

Credit to Guillem for setting that up and for just letting them get on with it too. Can't believe everyone is repping the Party Boy for it, it's not like he set the thing up!

 

Two of my all time favourite players right there. Am I the only one hoping that Xabi and Jan swapped numbers and will stay in touch for regular chats? That would be cool as fuck if they became mates.

[RedinSweden]

Ace interview that. I repped The Party Boy because the man deserves repping generally and now was as good a time as any.

Didn't have to click the link to know which game you were talking about, it was a majestic performance.

Jan's kid is an Arsenal supporter. What a kick in the bollcocks that is!

He needs to sort that out lively. I used to baby sit my nephew when I was younger and I made him sleep in the shed until he agreed to support Liverpool. His Dad's a manc. He's 17 now and a good red.

Repped for saving a young mind.

[Sangria]

I think he will as well. Gutting.

 

I would like to think his form this season has made Rafa rethink things.

[m0e]

I'm 100% certain that Xabi will be here next season.

 

Me too. I know what went on last summer, but why are Tom R & Co so convinced he's leaving after the season's he's had?

[Liverpool lad]

Alonso is staying, he has just took out a 12 month contract out on an iphone, me mate in the Carphone Warehouse said so the other day

[castle_red]

Xabi can't leave. He's a player with a very unique range of qualities, and in the position which is the central fulcrum of Rafa's playing philosophy - making him irreplaceable without altering that philosophy. I cannot believe for one second that Rafa does not appreciate how crucial he is.

 

Do people even have a club in mind for where XA is supposedly going? I know it was Juve before, but Ranieri openly said he targetted Christian Poulsen over him because he thought Xabi was too slow. Really can't see him going there now, or anywhere else.

Real Madrid are apparently targeting him.

[GJM]

Reading that was a perfect way to start the day.

 

I really don't think Alonso will be sold in the summer. He has played so well this season, and really perfected the role of sitting alongside Mascherano in a more congested midfield - something which I think he struggled a little with at first.

Heh, was sure it was going to be this game.

Always sticks out in my mind. Was just mesmerising.

 

Doesn't get the same time on the ball as he did in that first season does he.

[05 Milan]

Hanging with Xabi at the docks? Pah, that's sooooo 2005.

[Christian]

Molby was one of the greatest players I ever saw.

Just fantastic.

Nice one TPB!

[Soleilrouge]

I will sum my feeling for this interview with two statements:

 

1. In the 1990's I was known on the football field as Big Jan

2. My first born son is called Xabi

 

Now where are those tissues

[stringvest]

Molby was one of the half dozen best players ever at Anfield imo. Really enjoyed that interview.
