No, frustrating. When he plays well, it's frustrating thinking that he could play like this every game. And when he doesn't play well, it's frustrating because we know he can play so well.

It depends on expectations. As long as you rate him highly and expect great things from him he will be frustrating. Once you have given up on him ever being any good for us he is plainly annoying.

I was trying to think about a way to define how he comes out of nowhere and wacks it in from mid-range. I thought "bomb" which led to "bombastic". <img src="graemlins/angel.gif" border="0" alt="[Angel]" />

Is "wacking it in from mid-range" like "lobbing Seaman" from 35 yards?

Let's not get rude Elizabeth! In my opinion Beckham is very overated, and in my opinion Giggs is very underated! So it balances out you see. ;)

"Beckham - wasted

:rolleyes:
Yeah right, Beckham and Giggs have done little for United . While Verons quality has brought us lots of trophies.
 
Veron has and more important WILL show his quality this season. If he cuts down on the difficult moves and crosses and plays his simple game he will take us to the top of the table. The key for his success is spelled adjustment. By the way...Anyone remember his comment about Becks in the England-Argentina game in WC98?
