You just want to say 'look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it'."Of abuse from the opposition, he says: "There are players who can't handle any kind of pressure, positive or negative They just can't deal with being in that environment. To cope with it you just have to get to a point when it actually doesn't matter whether the crowd is being positive or negative, so to me it's just an energy. And you have to use that energy."I rest my case: we make our players worse and the opposition play better by having a go at them I asked Gordon why we do it: "God knows I don't know You tell me - you're the fan."It is a bizarre world. Consider this from Le Saux: "I have a friend who swears blind he can stand outside a ground and know how I'm doing.
If the opposition fans are singing about whether I take it up the arse or not, I'm having a good game."So, to be clear on this, if thousands of people are chanting about your alleged preferred mode of sexual intercourse then that means you're having a good day. He says he has been quite lucky as far as abuse from his own fans is concerned, though "like all players I've had to listen to that collective sigh when you make a bad pass It's horrible. We West Brom fans will be clinging on, panicking, because our players are panicking. But, in fact, it is just as likely that the players will be flapping because 25,000 of us will be flapping.Graeme le Saux has taken more stick than most for the, er, tenacity of his tackling as well as, tediously, ludicrous stuff about his sexual orientation.
If Robbie Keane plays at The Hawthorns today he will get loads of stick because his fourth-last club was Wolves Get your money on it, folks, he will score. And he will probably do so in the last minute with us leading 1-0. I went through a bad patch at Aberdeen and whenever the ball came to me I heard that noise. It's almost impossible to play when you hear it - your legs sort of seize up.
