You're not useless anymore

[Legend]

Why were some oxf*rd in the east stand singing this to DLC after he scored.

[M4 Junction 11]

I didn't hear it

[Winchester Royal]

I didn't hear it, Why didn't you ask them at the time?

Because they're oxf*rd perhaps?

Do you have a multiple personality disorder?

[Doyler]

Knowing our fans and the capacity some of them have for moaning and slagging off players i think he might have considered it a compliment

[zac naloen]

Perhaps because villa used to call him Useless De La Cruz?

and he wasn't being useless... therefore isn't useless anymore.

You don't want to do it like that. What you need is Boney M's "Daddy Cool".........

[Coppelloadofthat]

Reminds me of Leicester's song last season:

Kisnorbo
Oooh
Kisnorbo
Oooh
He used to be-e shite
But now he's alright

Amazing that he's in the 'Team of the Week'. And good for him for improving so much.

But surely he would be more effective if he lost a bit of weight? Other threads have commented on Paddy Kenny's weight.

It must apply to DLC too.

i know I'm probably an unfair critic of de la cruz, but he got lucky for his goal. he over ran the ball like so often when going forward and got a lucky ricochet to harper, had it gone to a sheff player he'd have been woefull out of position and we could have been in trouble.

fair play though he took the goal well. he just makes me very nervous. Defensively he's ok, but he takes too many risks and his control and passing isn't good enough IMO.

[Bill Oddie]

Del ah

Del ah Cruz

Del ah

Del ah Cruz

Great performance considering he was playng out of his usual postion, all credit to the lad. So pleased or him !

Good point.

Speaking as the "oxf*rd" who started the song, I can only apologise for confusing you with what us adults call humour...

You are being overly harsh there. I've been a crtic of his but on Saturday he was the best player in a Reading shirt IMHO. Won nearly all his challenges and was prepared to go forward when the opportunity merited.

Yes he got a bit lucky with the ricochet but he wouldn't have got lucky if he hadn't have put himself in to the challenge - you often earn your luck and he did there. I'd ask you if that goal had been scored by Shorey would you be making the same remarks?
