He hasant just come good!! He's been playing well for yonks.
Bob on. He has been better than Vincent in the main this season.
You can't argue the toss with me douggie
I've been championing him for months!!
It's clear from the reaction of his team mates that he's one of the core figures at the club. People talk about dumping him & bringing in all kinds of untried characters. If David Luiz hadn't signed for Chelsea, a lot of people on here would have happily swapped him for Lescott; that's how ridiculous it can get.
The PL isn't like a continental league where people can get by with a bit of nice technique, it's a muggers alley where you have to face a different challenge every week. Not many CB's can do the job that Lescott & Vinny do, & when we do eventually find a replacement for Lescott, the bloke is going to have to be a bit special; not just a nice passer of the ball but hard as fucking nails, week in week out.
and you know what...i love that about every 3rd match he slays someone in what could be an obv penalty/card, etc...and looks around like "what's that?"....you need someone who'll punch an opposing player in the dick when it's required, and he has that streak in him that i love. Micah has a bit of the same. Love them both for it. Basset Hound is not one to fuck about with, even if you are a superpimp running casinos in central america trying not to get beheaded, etc
