Bobby Robson RIP.

Not just a football legend with a boundless love for the game, but also a true gentleman. A sad loss indeed.

@#%&!s like Brian Woolnough and Harry Harris should be ashamed of themselves after Italia 90 too.

I £#%&!ing hate those @#%&!s.

The best quote I ever read was:

"Under Bobby Robson England were good. The problem was that nobody noticed".

Never a truer word said.

Always loved his reaction to Ronaldo's famous goal against Compostela.

RIP Sir Bobby Robson.

A true legend of the game.

Rip

Sky had cameras inside St James' Park this morning and were speaking to fans who had come from all round the country to pay their respect to Bobby Robson.

Bet you can't guess where the first mourners they spoke to had traveled from

£#%&!ing ghouls.

Sad News

R.I.P Sir Bobby

Heard Mark Wright on the radio last night, who said last year he was having a bad time at Chester with so many injuries and suspensions that he was forced to play the youngsters in league games.

Then one morning Bobby Robson rang him. When he got to the phone and said 'how are you feeling Bobby?', he replied 'Not too good, but enough about me. Let's see how I can help you'.

Sounded like a genuine bloke in a profession lacking them.

He had him at Ipswich and Newcastle, i don't think he would 'take the piss' out of him tbh.

don't think dyer was born when bobby was at ipswich, but they did have that link.

mourhinio's tribute is quite moving. very honest. from the heart. same with gazza. unlike the pr speak being peddled by the likes of shearer and beckham. @#%&!s. better to say nothing than such empty platitudes.
