    Didn't get his hands on much last night :D


    Used to like him when he was at Juve, thought he was way to good to go to Fulham, then he went to the Toilet.

    Good keeper in his day.

    Absolutely hate the fcuker. Glad to see the back of him, and not because he was a good keeper but because he is an arrogant cnut

    Pepe is top class but doubt he will get much praise from non Liverpool supporters.

    All in all i think he was a top keeper and did a great service for united, glad to see he's leaving them as i think they'll struggle to replace him.


    Hope his wife gets better also, thats nothing to do with football support though

    uniteds title success in recent years can be seen as him playing a major part...great keeper but still a manc cnut!

    edit: interesting to see united never won FA cup since he joined

    I thought his wife was fully recovered already?

    He was a decent keeper although never a top notch keeper like Pepe, Iker or Buffon. Certainly not worthy of a goodbye thread on IK.
