P.S. Bad Bob, the initial question of the thread, is it good or bad that alonso wants to stay, has been widely discussed. Perhaps if S@int agrees you may rename it to "the Alonso thread" to discuss the things related to Xabi?

Sounds reasonable.  Whadya say, Saint?

If that was fantastic that you have not seen the old xabi alonso? He was good , never fantastic but was one of his better performances even though he was rather anoymous , the unsung hero in a way

You havin a laugh lad?

Seriously?

Absoloutely clueless.

My how our standards have dropped . 1st season if i'm not wrong , gerrard was injured or sent off and we were down . Xabi bossed that game , great passing , long range as well , not short passing to the man infront of him , he really picked out players  thats the xabi alonso .

Xabi Alonso

Clearly you were not at the game lad. His passing was unbelievable yesterday and he didn't play one wrong pass all game. Typical clueless stupidity that slates him because he didn't switch play everytime he got the ball...

I wish Xabi was that "bad" every game, if him and Gerrard were that "bad" every game we'd the league with points to spare.

Alonso and Gerrard were great yesterday,if they did'nt dominate the MF the way they did we would not have won the game!
Everton had an extra man in MF.Watching the game you'd have thought we had the extra man...thats testament to how well they played.They ate Everton and spat them out.

Have to say i'm chuffed to bits with Xabi so far this season.I'd been dissapointed with his form for some time because I knew he was better than he was showing on the pitch mostly and felt he had lost his hunger and was lacking in effort...basically not giving 100%!
I said during the summer I hoped he would re capture his form and that the possibility of him being sold,then the Barry deal falling through would give him a kick up the @rse!
It appears the potential transfer and on/off confusion has done just that.
He's looking like getting back to his best and if he can continue the season the way he started it will be a blessing that we never let him go for GB

If you're referring to me , i never said that he was poor because he did not try his long shots or any of those , infact he did , he missed one horribly  , but besides that its a good post .
