I had the privilege of being there when he scored his brace and experience the surreal nature of his hero's welcome from Villareal supporters as I was in Spain when he signed for them.

Pascal Cygan :bow:

North Bank bouncing to "Walking in a Cygan Wonderland!" looked like he was going to explode with the smile on his face, bless him although usually "He's bald, he's shit he plays when no one's fit...." did apply

^ :lol:

Got to be Wilshere...been consistently very good with some outstanding displays...but yeh Sir Jack for his consistency....and not that mentioned but he only got injured once (with England) and missed no games through injury....reckon its down to his stocky physique...:bow: :bow:

wilshere for me, young lad played like a seasoned pro. got bit jammy at the end of the season but so did everyone else. the second best was robin.

The Fulham game we won 4-1. :bow:

I was there too.

Didn't think Cygan was great but he did a good job when called up on.

This.

His best game imo was the away game v Roma.

Henrys hat trick rightfully got the plaudits but Cygan at the back was immense.

That overhead goal line clearance :bow:

Kos done ok this season and cygan was toilet

I don't see much of a difference really between Cygan's first season and Koscielny's. Both made several fuck ups which fans tarred them with, both also had many decent games as well.

cygan only played 15 games in the Prem and Kos double that. cygan should've had the benefit of the experience around him but it rarely showed whilst Kos had to be the leader in his first season in the middle. only stepanovs made him look good.

pascal was another poor defensive signing and Kos will either make or break it next season. so far so ok.

Cygan's chances were severely limited in comparison.

January 2006

Arsenal v Man Utd

Cygan playing at left back up against Ronaldo.

Everyone on 606 expected a slaughter

And we sure saw one. Ronaldo didnt have a kick as the game ended 0-0 and Cygan was awesome.

What a man, what a player. Very disrespectful to compare Koscielny to him
