Craig Bellamy

Argumentative.
Opinionated.
Aggressive.
Temperamental.
Disliked.

I'm sure you can add a few words to this, not all of which would get through the swear filter. Having said that, this season Craig Bellamy has really shone through at my team ......... is there another side to him? Maybe there is ....


CLICKY and then play video

From that video, there is most obviously another side to him.

He is also a damned good footballer and was much appreciated during his short time at Celtic.

Cheers,

Martin.

It's a tax avoidance scheme....the horrible little





















Joking aside....good on him and I will be eternally grateful to him for his honest comments about JT after the city v chelski clash.

Sure loads of player do all sorts of fund raising, charity work, most clubs probably don't need to highlight it as to cover over what a ****** the player is
though.

I'd have him @ WHL though.

i forgot of course, sorry Jeff ..... must mention that clearly Spurs will do something like this, only better and every player will be involved but will give more time, more effort and the case will ultimately be more deserving.

Well i'll wait until the date set to give you 100% answer mate but know it's going to be mid week. So means a day un paid off work and either drive or train.

As for your day at wembley, atleast you've been there unlike some on this thread. Even if it was to see Spurs

Yeh i miss him from Rovers as well. It was short and sweet but to be honest i didnt think he was all that until he signed for us and then got to see him play regularly and thought he was an amazing player.

Great signing for Man City.

Aside from the 'other side' which is always nice, I'm sure every supporter of a club where Bellamy has been playing would say the same about him; I bet they'd rather have him on their team than not.

Epic post!


Bellamy is awesome. If he doesn't play for your team, you hate him. Must be a good player though as he's yet another that Arry alledgedly wanted to sign but 'couldn't compete with City'.

The JT scandal certainly changed my opinion of him. Good bloke for standing behind his teammate.

What I was thinking. What can you do, no sense of humour sometimes on this section of the forum. Maybe they missed that last bit in your post.

Only when he doesn't play for you. When he does:

Argumentative = Speaks his mind
Opinionated = On things that other people wont talk about
Aggressive = Err, Aggressive
Temperamental = Flawed genius.
Disliked = F'ing brilliant!

Shay or Carlos will probably get player of the season but Bellamy has been an absolute revelation too. We've certainly missed him when he hasn't played.

Who ever thought we'd actually prefer injury-prone trouble maker Bellamy to Robinho on the left side of our attack?! I didn't, but I'm happy Bellers has made me eat my words.

Definitely. Bellamy has seen off both Robinho and Petrov too to a lesser degree. Adam Johnson will have to fight for his place. Really hope we go all out to beat Sunderland on Sunday with a 4-4-2

I don't mind the guy, to be honest, even though he used to play for Norwich, and was terrible to Sir Bobby when at Newcastle.

Anyone that's opinionated and speaks their mind is refreshing in the modern world of media trained - and hence dull - footballers and their tired cliches. He's always good for a controversial post-match interview.

I have always thought he was one of the biggest c*cks in the EPL along with Adebayor, JT, Diouf, Gary Neville, Lennon, Defoe, Ashley Cole, Drogba, Lumplard, Sol Campbell and Bentley. However, if you look at that list, you would probably have most of them in your team.

For me, Bellamy has been City's best player this season. His comments on JT made me like him a bit more though!!!
