chrisplant One of the great things about being a football fan is being able to laugh at opposition players mistakes. No matter how good or crap that player may be, whether he’s playing for AFC Sudbury in the Ryman League or Bolton in the Premiership, fans always enjoy laughing at the misfortune of other players.
Tense is usually the word that sums up Champions League knockout games, especially semi-final ties where so much is riding on the line for the winning team. The same word also applies to the atmosphere at games and how fans feel when watching their team in such an important game.
Whilst eye-catching guys like Nani, Jack Wilshere and Joey Barton (Yes even him!) have stood out this year for their performances, a left back playing in North London has this season come on leaps and bounds.
One of the disappointing aspects of the football season over the last two months for me has been the slump that Nottingham Forest have been going through. The slump which has seen them win only once in their last 12 games has really put the brakes on their promotion-push this season.
As pleased I was with Manchester United’s win over Chelsea on Wednesday night, there was one player’s performance in the game that shone out that as a United fan satisfied me the most.
Should fans be more dignified when it comes to their chants and choice of words and chant about their own team and not slate the officials and opposition players or should they just attend the game quietly barley making a noise at all?
Nani or to give him his full name Luis Carlos Almedia da Cunha has probably over the past year been one of the best players in the Premiership. In my opinion he’s been the best player in the league second to only Gareth Bale.
