Too true, but then again, you're talking Maldini standards here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) He was alrighty till his last match, though obviously not the guy that he was at his peak, or you know, the good years. Was I glad that he played that extra year or two? Oh yeah, you bet. Nesta doing so would have delighted me too.
Once in a lifetime players, maybe once in eternity, in terms of talent, mentality and dedication! |

He was pretty lousy by the time he retired in all truth. 2007 was the end of Paolo at his best and for the next two seasons he was making a lot of fouls, being caught out of position, and generally was nowhere near up to scratch. Plenty of calls for him to be dropped.
Not surprising given he was 87 by this point. |

87? Yeah, after so many years, he really should have retired (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
I'll answer you guys my perspective in a few hours, when I'll find the necessary time. |

I disagree with most of the opinions here. I don't regard deterioration and bad seasons as the same thing. I don't think Maldini had a poor last couple of seasons. Yes, his body gave up, but he still had his talent and vision, his character. He deteriorated, he wasn't a match-winning gem, but he still was a integral part and had a overall more positive impact on our game and play.
Should he have retired earlier? Who's me to say? It's his decision and I'm glad he stayed as long as possible. Because what was the alternative? More Bonera, more Kaladze, more Marzoratti? |

Indeed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) I can imagine the excitement for you after all these years, Dan.

Thanks you two. If we win this...given how bad we are, and how much Celtic have to lose...monumental it would be.

Would loved to have watched but same time as Arsenal-Villa unfortunately. Maybe I'll watch the last 80 minutes when we're already 3-0 down.

We were predictably horrendous. I'm actually pleased it was only a 2-0 loss.
Sorry about Villa Kurt. |

When the two teams you support suck @ss for years I'm not surprised.
