Well done Calderon

[Weststander]

Summer 2010: spending way above their income S'ton almost poached him, no doubt on far bigger money, but at the 11th hour he changed his mind and stayed with us..

I was pleasantly stunned when the news came through. As good as great new signing, as he was a star of the Withdean team of winners being assembled by Gus.

Another tick to Calderon ... loyalty to the Albion.

I'm sure I saw him doing this to this south stand initially, before walking past the east for the north stand - top, top man. I think the result meant an awful lot to him, showed one heck of a lot of passion about the result on the final whistle.

I think the whole team showed a lot of desire/passion during the game, hats of to all of them.

Missed that bit (I'm in east).... You are right it did matter a lot to him...and the whole team knew how important it was to us supporters

I think he was extra emotional because his 85 year old grandfather was at the match, his first visit to England.

No wonder Simmo was excited and in bits.....fair play to your grandfather......did he get a man hug from Calde.

Thought he was pretty poor in the first half, probably nerves, but he settled down in the second half and had a decent game all in all.

I think hyped up more than nerves

Caldes grandfather?

Caldes grandfather?

.....whoosh.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Completely agree! Not sure if he suits playing every game but that's not to say he should be a back-up. Think the first stand by in about 4 or 5 positions keeps him fresh and lets him help others out. Coach one day I'm sure and a thoroughly great person!

Loved Calde's little chip over the player right near the end as he flew down the wing

That's the kind of inter-play Buckley gets from Calde that he doesn't get from Bruno.

Which is why I think Bruno, usually, is the better player, but Calde is better for the team.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

How Bruno is picked over Calde at the moment is beyond me.

 

[The Large One]

He said on the Roar on Saturday that last season he did really appreciate the rivalry with Palace. This time around he was in no doubt. It's up on iTunes now.

He's out of contract at the end of the season. I seriously hope the club offers him another one.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Seconded

 

[leigull]

He definitely struggled first half but really stepped up second half with some great tackles and runs forward. When he rinsed their defender to speed past him and put a ball in near the end was quality. He's so important to this club, fantastic character, model pro and vital for Gus getting the additional Spaniards in

Yes because you can DEFINITELY see what is happening in that video. Might be worth investing in an HD camera.
