Do we want Zabba to play?

Postby nottsblue » Sat Dec 02, 2017 3:47 pm

Sounds daft, but do we want him to play tomorrow? He has lost his legs and could be given a real torrid time. Is this what we want for a legend of the club? I know he isn't our player any more and that we need the three points. But West Ham are poor and I doubt their reserve full back is any better.

On the one hand it would be great for him to play and get the tumultuous reception he deserves. But on the other it would be sad to see him rinsed time after time.

He's nailed on to start from what I saw on kumb, personally I think he won't go in heavy against any of our lads (he too will be thinking of the derby) imo.

Hopefully Pep will ask ours to go easy on him and we can exploit them through middle or down the right.

Well perhaps that's all wishful thinking...

They got three of their regular defenders out injured, so Zaba's a nailed on starter.

The Zaba that i appreciated was a warrior who gave everything for his club regardless. So yes, staying true to Zaba, i want him to play

Interesting and sad at the same time is that we do not put the same question regarding Hart.

It really shows the difference how those two are in front of our eyes. One is a legend, the other is just a good player from our history.

To be fair PP, i didnt include Hart in the OP as he is ineligible to play

Indeed, but I feel it would had been the same if he had played.
I am really curious where did all went wrong with Hart. For me it was that final with Wigan.

Don't care so long as we win. Wouldn't under estimate the importance of this game.

It will always be nice to see Zaba play.

It will be handy if he forgets who he is playing for and sticks one in his won net too.

lets treat him right im the warm up andin the game whoever he plays for he is one of us.
a Zabba own goal would just make a perfect day.
It may be my last year as a season ticket holder as it just doesn't seem the same with so few English and local players (but I said that last year)

This, he'll always be a Blue but tomorrow he'll be giving 100% for the opposition, wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah I want Zabba to play and Hart to; In my mind his one of this generation club legends. Wouldnt surprise me one bit if Zabba scores against us. But the overall feeling I have right now is that we are going to win this game. Its the next game I am worried about.

i thought we were trying to win the league? if the opposition has an older defender that we can exploit then i 100% want him to play regardless what his name is and i want us to destroy him.

Wish people would stop quoting him. Of course the strongest opinion he’s ever had for us is just to insult a blue legend. Never once heard him talk that way about hated opposition. Twat.

He's just a self-centred arsehole but then he must only be about 16.
