Couldn't love him more.

Not all heros wear capes

Iconic

 

[chas vs dave]

He'll never have to buy a drink in N17 again

Not all heros wear capes

Seems like a lot of them were wearing flags though,

Build a statue of that clearance.

Build a statue of that clearance.

Would take the whole plot of land they need for the hotel.

I'll say it. I think that was better than the goal. Top class. He and Cuti both showed a dominance when dealing with crosses tonight. They showed a different side and I loved it.

Build a statue of that clearance.

Suspend it from the Skywalk.

Romero and Mickey make us a very different team. Our Def in the last few Euro games with them playing

 

[Spriggan]

That was on a par with Gordon Banks point blank save from Pele's header in the 1970 world cup, laser focus and supreme reflexes. Absolutely world class defending.

Vicario owes this man a boat load of everything.

If VDV doesn't get to that, I dread to think what would happen.

Thankfully, he did!

Unreal clearance

 

[arunspurs]

The still picture doesnt do much justice. That ball was travelling.
Van de Ven had to run back and at the same time pull that acrobatics move....

The height he gets and clearnce he gets on it is just unreal.
Theres no other professional CB is doing that.

I remember being slightly disappointed because I wanted Tapsoba but then I saw his highlights and pace and I was happy with this signing. Thought he would need 2-3 years to start showing his potential but he's been great since day one. I remember 2 or 3 poor performances from him this whole time, incredible player.

This 100% How did his right hammie survive that intact?

 

[TheTrader78]

Banks 1970 vibes

 

[Meercat]

Big game player, big game moment.

That it even went through his head to try that clearance... the speed of thought, added to the acrobatics.

I hope he stays with us for a long time, the heir to Verts.
