Not sure there are any Kuyt "haters" Reginald, although there may be one or two who don't buy into the "best right midfielder in the Premiership" mantra.

I know it makes the World go round and all that, but quite why if you have a dissenting word to say about the manager you "hate him with a passion and dream about his wedding tackle" has always been a mystery to me, and this thing with Kuyt is similar in many respects. Not you particularly Reg, but some people simply cannot countenance a possibilty that anyone would have a word to say against him. If you do point out that he's either not quite Usain Bolt in the pace department, not quite Steven Gerrard in the shooting department, not quite Xabi Alonso in the passing department, or not quite me in the skill department people lose all grip on reality.

He's a good player right enough, with limitations. Nobody "hates" him though, do they

I think you only have to read through this thread to see some of the feeling towards kuyt by certain people over the last season to understand they do hate kuyt playing for us

He works his socks of but is not good enough qualitywise.
But I have come to terms that he is Rafa forgotten son and that
saying we might be better at breaking down teams with a more creative skillful player is sacrilege.

Still counting the titles we have won since Kuyt came 

Still counting the titles we have won with all the other players as well

He's Derek and he's ours . One think i have noticed this pre -season is he is looking up alot more before putting a ball in the box . Last year he was just throwing it in there and hoping for the best .

Who the F is Derek?? Are you trying to pronounce his name in a Dutch styley, in that case it should be pronounced Deerek I think. His surname is a different story, Ihav eno idea how to write is phonetically  but the u and y are squeezed really tight together. I only know this form having a few pints in Rotterdam with a scary Feyernord fan who got a bit agitated when I pronounced his name in the English prem commentator style.

Yes especially that thunderous shot straight at the keeper, he did set up some nice goals though. Anyway who says that Kuyt was the only good player, what about Riera, Mascha, Xabi, Nando, Nemeth, I could go on with the notable exception of Eggnog.

Err ok , i'll tell that to the lads next time i go the match . I'll also tell them not to call Alvaro "albert" Or agger "dan" or Fernando "nando" or Pacheco "pancake" N'nog "wash " anyone else?

They call N'Gog "wash", isn't that a bit racist?

Was not trying to have a dig at you Igor, just trying to give some information, I genuinely thought that you were trying to pronounce his name in Dutch, sorry if I offended you.
