Calderon last night.

[Greg Bobkin]

It's almost as if CH knew what he was doing, and had confidence in Calde to do a job. Who'da thunk it?

Delighted for that man. A true Albion legend in the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch.

Job done. Don't think it will get any better than that.

I like it, but maybe drop the shield.

 

[spence]

Red stands out against the myriad blue flags.

And it's the primary colour of the Basque flag - which is what Calde is about.

But to much is going on. Needs to be more simplified

 

[Bansko Seagull]

Possibly time for another Spanish Day when the banner is put up?

 

[nwgull]

From you that's high praise. Perhaps you have seen the error of...



....oh. Silly me. Fancy not realising you were going to contradict yourself in the same sentence. You do - very generously and very graciously - point out it wasn't 'entirely his fault'. I'm sure he'll be delighted to escape your singling out for sole criticism.

I don't suppose we get a critique of the rest of the squad's culpability for those matches? Or was it just down to him?

No, it was entirely his fault that our 2 experienced, recognised left backs got long term injuries within about 2 weeks of each other and that he happened to be the next best option.

The drop off in the team's results also had nothing to do with injuries in every other position, with the exception of 'keeper and central midfield. And the pick up in results was down to Ridgewell replacing Calde, and nothing to do with the outstanding form of Knockeart since he signed.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Can't we just make a #BARBEROUT banner instead just for shits and giggles?

Please?

 

[Springal]

Would a banner not be a bit of a waste of money? Given the small amount of home games left and Calde contract being up in the summer?

Calde considers himself Basque ahead of being Spanish.

I am prepared to give praise when it is due and criticize when that is due and do not consider myself to be a pompous orat.

My opinion, FWIW, is that you will come up with something excellent - but this isn't it (yet)

Too much going on - would be much more effective if a lot simpler.

Keep the colour scheme. Keep the image. Lose the shield. Lose the face line.
Consider changing the basque text, to "Dena kondaira esker" (I THINK - 'Thanks for everything, Legend')

Or actually better still, simply "CALDE, KONDAIRA" in massive letters.

 

[The Albion Roar]

Was that criticism you gave? Sorry, I thought it was unwarranted blame.

What a silly orat.

 

[El Presidente]

Calde considers himself Basque ahead of being Spanish.

I've got quite a few photos (and even more films) featuring basques, feel free to borrow them.

MUCH nicer

Eskerrik asko.

I know it's not intentional and has been refuted on several occasions but this doesn't half feel like the 'Calde Farewell Tour'.


I refuse to accept that as even a possibility.

He is Inigo Calderon of the Clan Calderon. I was born in 1984 in the village of Vitoria on the shores of Lake Larregana . And he is
immortal.

Well unfortunately, a fairwell tour, is just what this may prove to be, unless the club offer him somer sort of coaching or background role. No one ios immortal not even the legend that is Calde.

Perhaps we should just be grateful that he has been with us for so long. Now if Gus hadn't relented after Calde had talked to Southampton . . .

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I can't be the only one who finds the 'scores with his face' song a little irritating. It reminds me of a shit season, it's a dull, overused tune and is not exactly befitting of Calderon's status (yes, I know the song is a bit of a joke but it's rubbish).

What I'm saying is, I like the newest design - just delete the scores with his face part. That shouldn't be what defines Calderon.

 

[Munkfish]

Calde and Crofts will never let you down is the opinion of the few who I sit with, people may knock them but whenever either of these two play they will give you everything and more.

Never in doubt that Calde could do a job at left back, hell he did a pretty decent job at right wing last season, stick him upfront and he would give it a go there as well.
