Ah even Rafa Benitez described Alonso as a holding midfielder.

Anyway, deep lying playmaker is a more accurate description but they're still a holding midfielder by my definition. There's the combative type and the playmaking type.

Could be the dodgy curry from last night though.

Nah can't, sure he was following Shamrock Rovers or someone up until about 12 months ago when he suddenly became a diehard Bohs fan.

He also said this about Paddy McCarthy in an earlier thread.

In fact if he keeps improving at the rate I've seen over the last few years he could even be better than Franz Beckenbauer. He's a similar sort of defender after all. I honestly believe Charlton will go on to win the Champions League within 5 years now after signing him. I love him. Better than Pele.

Youngirish, do you keep Senator MacCarthy type files on posters to be used at against them when the occasion arises

Considering that Paddy Mc is 25 doesn't Neil sounds a bit sarcastic there?

World class, I've always said it.

Has surely played himself into the starting eleven for the Slovaks. Very good performance for that 45 last night.

Or maybe I never said it. Also never said I was a diehad bohs fan and I never supported Rovers. Youngirish you do really need to get your facts right when making personal comments about people.

I then apologise NeilMcD. I thought it was fairly obvious you didn't say it though to anyone reading it.

**NeilMcD** · 23/08/2007, 11:49 AM

I agree but cleary Geysir did not read it as such. The dangers of sarcasm I suppose on an internet forum.

**NeilMcD** · 23/08/2007, 7:19 PM

Never a conversion Bill, I supported them when I was kid as my Dad used to take me to the games. Could not go when I was living in Clare.

Poor lad, out for 2 months with with a "leg injury".

He won't get a premiership move in January now.

Also out of the Brazil match.

Damn Turkey legs!!!!!!!!

**zenokelly** · 20/12/2007, 3:58 PM

Charlton are probably f**ked now as I saw bits of their match on Saturday and Reid looked a different class to most of the players on the pitch. There's no way he's a championship player but these injuries are surely just going to keep him from going to the top

**eirebhoy** · 20/12/2007, 4:02 PM

Ah damn. And, yeh, Charlton are screwed without him.

Charlton will be without captain Andy Reid for six to eight weeks due to a knee injury...

Reid, Ambrose, Zheng and Iwelumo all sustained injuries against West Bromwich Albion in the club's 4-2 defeat at The Hawthorns last weekend.

Striker Iwelumo, who has nine goals to his name this season, turned his ankle in the first half and had to be replaced, while midfielders Reid and Ambrose left the field with knee and groin problems respectively.

Further investigation has now shown that Republic of Ireland international Reid, who has provided six goals from the centre of the park this term, has a tear in his medial knee ligament, while Ambrose has failed to recover in time for the weekend following treatment.
