Re: The "I am going to eat humble pie" Thread.

[Dante]

Some Milanisti need to come here, I was the only one excited about the Cerci links.

Also yeah, thought by now Gourcuff would be the face of France and their best player.

Cerci was always hot and cold . I won't hold my breath yet , despite his very impressive season so far. As for Gourcuff , lol who didn't , very few that actually didn't like him when he was at his best. I still like him , like whatever , Gourcuff

Maybe he could still turn it around , who knows.. but not at Lyon , that much is clear. I believe the downfall of Lyon , even though he obviously had a good part to play , is a reason why he has fallen from grace so hard. But anyway , i don't understand what he's still doing there .

Such a pity , he was always pure class on the ball and one of those players who could really unlock his teammates all over the field with his vision and passing. Intelligent play , simply great on set pieces and very able dribbler and holder of the ball. Apart from some good pace , he didn't lack anything , he was even scoring headers for a while which is clearly not the norm for players of his mould.

I still believe that any team who gives him a good 2nd chance within a nice project going on , is going to get back 10x times the benefits from Yohann. Last time i saw him play was last season and i honestly thought he would slowly get back to his best , but apparently he just keeps getting injured for some reason. Such a pity.

I once thought that Marco Motta would gradually learn how to position himself defensively and become a competent fullback.

Also I second BC on Pastore, though I didn't think he'd ever hit the heights of the Ballon D'Or, I certainly expected him to be one of the best attacking midfielders on the planet.

[Zealous]

I've been bashing BVB recently so there is a good chance of humble pie being served but until then I think they will fail to live up to the hype this season.

[Kaladin]

Every Milanista needs a bit of humble pie over Muntari, he might be annoying at times and downright awful. But when he is asked to put in a shift, the man puts in a shift like no other. The best thing is that he offers another tactical perspective towards certain games

[Zealous]

Oh I thought Gago was the legit heir to Redondo at one point. Oh god did I eat some humble pie on that one.

[dostoevsky]

@ SES: Dante, MTD and I have always readily admitted Muntari's tactical use just to name a few. Even then, he still deserves a lot of the crap he gets.

[Amar]

3 years ago I said Obertan would become a great, great winger after watching him play vs the England U21s  

[StrugaRock]

You didn't eat that pie alone, i took a big bite out of it too.

[M99]

Thought Pato would be the best striker in the world by now.

[DeletedUser#1]

I used to think Moyes is an okay manager.

I've been wrong...He's not okay. He's f*cking shit and turd.

[ExtremistEnigma]

Never thought we'd sign 3 CBs in the same window and BR would play unorthodox formations involving 3/5 at the back. This is not necessarily good though.

Where is the confession Mole?

I ll help you out with the first line.

''I have never been more wrong in my life when it comes BorjitOoOoO. The fact that i compared him to players like mehbaye makes me feel like im not worthy to live anymore..

[Adit]

Any way.

Ramsey for me...never thought he will reach this level.

Don't see Borja wanted by Arsenal and Man Utd tbh.

Double relegation scrub

[Tomwin Lannister]

Was pretty confident that when we first signed Pogba, he'd be spending 2 or 3 seasons on loan then going to our bench.

Fast forward to present day and he's playing at a WC level consistently

[RedOranje]

Babel.

[McAgger]

Yeah I thought Kaka would have a stellar career at Madrid.

And also this

Babel.

[McAgger]

Also back in 2002-2005 I thought Cassano would go on to reach Baggio heights.

He definitely had the talent

[Doc]

I once considered Ozil, when he initially came to Real Madrid, to be quite overrated. Ate that humble pie nicely. Among my friends of an Azulgrana persuasion, I once touted Javier Portillo to be the next great Real Madrid striker while they were stuck with the likes of Rochenback and Giovanni. That didn't turn out as planned and have been reminded about my scouting "abilities" ever since.

Didn't see the big deal in Sturridge until I saw the big deal. Um, I know I ate humble pie (or was forced fed it by my aunt to be more precise) after the 4-0 beating Liverpool put on Real Madrid. The day before, I was on a gloating spree, the day after, the sound of silence...

[zizzle]

I thought Gilardinho will be the new Vieri and Munatri to become the new Veira after his first season with Inter (which was more than decent)

[Swanhends]

Mariga deceived me as well

[Lord Awesome]

"Chicharito could be the next Hugo Sanchez."

Hey, I said "could be".... 

[halamadrid2]

I didn't think bale would succeed for us tbh (I know its early) but so far so good for the lad

[RealGunner]

Anyone remember if i have said anything obscene? really trying hard but can't think of anything.

Thought Vermaelen would be one of the best CB in the world once. I guess that counts
