[Archived] Another Mgp Thread

[Uddersfelt Blue]

Gonna have my Under 10's team practising corners like MGP's for a month.

[BRFC4EVA]

To be fair to him, he has already admitted to trying to shoot from corners, and judging by today's evidence it won't be too long in coming!

[philipl]

1) Somebody unblock queerdadio to make this a "proper" MGP thread.

2) MGP to score direct from a corner next Sunday? Oh ecstacy!

[Uddersfelt Blue]

Better still a Dingle defender to get the final touch!!!

[Lathund]

The commentators mentioned that when he was 14-15 or so he scored SIX goals straight from corners in just one game. It's not quite as unbelievable as it sounds, I've seen with my own eyes someone score three goals like that in one game. That too was at youth level, although a year or two younger players. I believe it was quite soon after making the transition to full sized pitches and 11 players, as at least here it's 7 a side when kids are younger. It's not possible to do it several times over with fullgrown 'keepers and defenders

[Maverick]

I can remember that Bjørnebye scored direct from a corner for Norway many years ago. I think that was his only goal for Norway, but I might be wrong.

[Blackpool_Rover]

lets just hope were still making MGP threads after next januarys transfer window

[SAS]

pedersen is a legend, in my eyes at least.

A bit early to say he is a legend, but if he continue to grow as a player like he has done the last two years he will be. Maybe Souness got one signing right

[Befectan]

It's weird to read this kind of thread now, with all the bashing MGP & Norwegians rooting for him got earlier on

But it's great to see Blackburn getting some very important points, and Pedersen settling down in the starting elleven.

[SAS]

I have always wanted him to be played more, for a few months, we never got to see what we paid for.

[stuwilky]

Hes not even played 20 games for us. He is no such thing.

[Ste B]

Cuiado isnt banned at all.

I''m surprised he hasnt come back on gloating at this run of form.

I still believe that Hughes got it right by resting him from competitive games whilst building up his fitness. We are now seeing the results of this.

All we need now is for MGP to show Emerton what a final ball is all about.

[thenodrog]

Cant rem where I posted it now but I did point out about a month ago that MGP and Tugay would come into the equation once we signed Savage and had stiffened our midfield up.

[emerton]

whilst i am loving him and his contribution to the side at the moment please remeber that hes got a long way to go in his career and needs more time to prove the fee we paid for him.

[chris]

he looks a talent that Pedersen, its amazing how one month he's a sub then he's probably our best offensive player.

but he's living up to his goal scoring record which is just brilliant for a midfielder.

Hopwefully next season with a couple of class stirkers we could do ok with Pedersen and Emerton on the wings.

Absolutely.

I for one was not bashing him or the Norwegian contingent.

But let's not get too carried away. After all Emerton started the season like a house on fire and hasn't sustained that form.

Let's just accept that Hughes is getting to know the team he needs to pick but it is a squad game and we need all to play their part.

Pedersen for the All Time Greats 11!

Probably because he found the official forum and renamed himself/herself as djvice. Think it is cuidado as there is an MGP avatar on show, only posts seemingly about MGP and his signature is Bellamy11's "MGP's v02max-level my arse, his shitness level is off the charts" which cuidado took great exception to on here, despite Bellamy11 not even posting on that site. Seems he did a real number on cuidado!

[Eddie]

Some people really are sad

[waggy]

i think mgp is another feather in MARK HUGHES cap,he did look out off his depth when he arrived at ewood,and hughes and his staff have obviously worked on his fitness and strength,the guy is improving and if he carries on he may become another winger we all love

[Eddie]

Interestingly enough, from watching him the place I think he needs to improve the most is getting good crosses in. He obviously strikes a ball well and has good passing skills so it shouldn't be a problem. If next year we have threats in the box, he will need to beat his man and get the ball in, and the moment he just isn't doing it, though I can understand this as he only has Dickov and Gallagher to aim at.

[Flopsy]

as long as he doesnt (Please don't use that word again) off and join a dodgy london team for 17 million, breaking JimMk2's heart

[Eddie]

MGP for 17 million? Hmm...that would be terrible.

I'd wait 3 or 4 years before deciding that I wouldn't bite anyone's hand off if they came in with that sort of money, at the moment though I would take it. Having said that, what makes me like him the most isn't the quality of his play, more just how he behaves. He seems to care and enjoy it, you can really tell it when he celebrates and goes to the crowd, very few of our players at the moment seem to have that in them.

[Flopsy]

he looks like hes enjoying playing football for blackburn

its nice - still think hes lightweight

nice to be proven wrong though
