From now on the 11th August 2010 will always be known as

[Uncle Spielberg]

The 11th August 2010 will from now on always be known as " Bobby Zamora day ".

The day this great Nation unearthered the future and saviour of English football.

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

Well that has jinxed that then!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Is that the 29-year-old future of English football?

* cue Zamora not playing or having a howler and never being called up again*

 

[Tricky Dicky]

He'll still be slagged off on here tomorrow when he misses a sitter from 2 yards.

 

[Mendoza]

he left us seven years ago, but people still see him as a Brighton boy, talk about him if he is still playing for us and he thinks about Brighton & Hove Albion every 5 minutes.

Fair play to the lad, he deserves his call up, he has played well at Fulham last season, but I find the Zamorawankathon a bit cringeworthy sometimes. I hope he takes his chance, as Carlton Cole iz r ova opshun innit bluds

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Loves West Ham more than he loves us and made no secret of the fact.

Can't agree. The guy was immense for us - we'd never have won two championships in a row without him - and he is clearly proud and fond of his time at Brighton, as many interviews have shown.

If we're still going to chant "No 1 is Peter Ward etc etc" then why shouldn't we follow with interest one of our best ever players?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Brett I am just being selfish as my numerous Zamora signatures are worth a bit more now he has been selected for England.

I do agree with that - when you're getting people post on here that he's scored a goal in the League Cup or something for Fulham. However, this is arguably a bit different, and quite a big deal. I'm guessing, but wouldn't more than half his career goals still have come for us? People who saw a lot of those goals are always going to cut the lad some slack.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I have actually got Zamora's mobile number and may call him up later to wish him luck.

Are we not supposed to remember players who served us well in their time here ? I don't imagine he thinks about us at all, unless asked by journos, but still he did well here. Should we forget the likes of Peter Ward, Steve Foster etc. too ?

He doesn't seserve a sainthood agreed, he's gone further than I thought he could, but still, thanks for the memories.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

How many footballers that played for Brighton go on to get an England cap ?. Foster is the only one I can think of so rejoice and celebrate.

Bobby was brilliant with us, no one can ever doubt that. It's just the way some people talk about him as if he is still our player, that gets me. The praise goes so over board in my opinion that it looks stupid.

The retired players is different, as they have stopped playing so we dont view them as still our players.
Ward is a Man Utd fan anyway, so his legend status has gone


all just my opinion like...

So was he not on the books at Brighton and did we not sell him?
