The Respect Bobby Zamora Campaign
Tuesday, December 22, 2009 at 10:51AM The Fulham fans (the ones that blog, evil lot they are) might not appreciate him but there is no denying Bobby Zamora is the real deal. He's the original Carlton Cole prototype. Clumsy? Sure, but undeniable and unplayable also. The clumsy stuff, that disguises the skill and intent. But unlike Cole, he's also got another devastating ingredient. Anger. A ton of anger. Plenty of fiery in your face have some of that anger. Bob has been inspiring for Fulham, taking himself to the next level of strikership. His goals are created purely from his presence in and around the box as though he wills the ball into an area where he can simply smack it in. He's practically telepathic. Brilliant player, has to travel to South Africa with England and without a doubt the most naturally gifted English forward from England currently playing in England.
The only way for Dawson and Bassong to stop this man is to shot him in the arse with a tranquilliser gun then drop a piano on him then dig a hole 100 feet deep and push him in and bury him in cement and then have Tony Soprano and his mob to crack open the cement, remove the body and then whack him with two bullets in the back of the head, dismember him into fifty different parts mailing them to fifty different countries around the world with instructions to boil the parts and then feed the soup to pigs. Wait for the pigs to digest the soup, slaughter the pigs and then turn them into bacon and serve the bacon as part of an all-English breakfast, with eggs beans, all that stuff, you know the drill, to Only Fools and Horses loving ex-pats who then go out on a bender and vomit their breakfast out into whatever street they're standing in and then let the rain wash it away into the drains where the rats then feed on the remaining chunks.
That won't stop Bob scoring a brace, but he'll probably fall short of notching up a hat-trick. Probably. Not guaranteed. It's Zamora. Who am I kidding? He'll endeavour and he'll come through the other side, letting you - yes you the ones who bemoan him behind the goal - exactly what he thinks. When you sit in row Z and the ball hits your head it's Zamora, and he meant it, because he was aiming for you, you mouthy over-critical Fulham blogging gits.
Respect him. Applaud him. The Z Man is back.
Fulham v Spurs match preview on its way (tomorrow probably).

that second paragraph scared me a little bit.
LOL
Best write up of Bobby Zamora I've ever read.
(You know you've jinxed it now and he'll score against us, right?
That was a stupid thing to do Spooks. BZ will came after you now. You'll be finished quicker than one of his shots on goal.
Watch the crazy stream of consciousness articles.
The problem is, that it is one of THE all time classic football chants - it's going to stick forever! :-)
Hahahahahaha
i think his prolific record for us says it all. at least i'm in the front row on boxing day - should be safe there (thwack - doh!).
Zamora: Don't make me made, GRRRRR
That made me laugh.
We'll still beat you.
And he'll score.
:)
How many goals did Bobby score when he was at Spurs? I remember one against West Ham (1-0) in the Cup. Did he ever manage any more for us?
Can we have a similar write up for Pav?
He gets a lot of slack, hes in good form but hes not that great and when hes out of form hes simply awful. And yes i support Fulham.
He's only goal was that one against WH.
I don't mind Zamora. Wanted to do well for us but then didn't complain too much when he was swapped as part of the Defoe deal. Actually believed we would regret that. Hasn't been the case. He's a decent enough player and it's always great too watch a player have a go back at a section of his home support. All that angry gesturing, must make the fool who slagged him off who's celebrating feel a little more foolish.
Anyone here care to remember a certain Chris Armstrong?
Looking forward to the Fulham game, Zamora is just like Bent, but with the aforemetioned anger. Both capable of scoring goals, but both rely on confidence to get them going in the first place, as opposed to pure talent.
I think he picked up that 'everyone hates me, but I hate them back' from his time at the spammers.
Still, like Bent, when ever we come up against our 'cast offs' I'm caught between the truisms of 'the world lover a trier', and 'theres nothing more irritating nor dangerous than a motivated idiot'.
ps. I'm more worried about Murphy for the boxing day game, the leader on the pitch for Fulham we so sadly lack currently. THink he goes in the 'Doh!' category.
Yeah the Spammers were not that fond of him either. Bent is better. Not saying much in that but he's batter.
"Wait for the pigs to digest the soup, slaughter the pigs and then turn them into bacon and serve the bacon as part of an all-English breakfast, with eggs beans, all that stuff, you know the drill, to Only Fools and Horses loving ex-pats who then go out on a bender and vomit their breakfast out into whatever street they're standing in and then let the rain wash it away into the drains where the rats then feed on the remaining chunks."
That deserves a seriously big WTFLOL
Spooky....your deranged pal...
Spooky, I think Wilsons drop in form is seriously getting to you! Mentalist. Get a grip god dammit.
Don't worry, he's going in my fantasy team this week. That should jinx him back into ineptitude.
Heard that when Zamora was with Brighton he was injured and sat in the stands watching a game, one fan was giving him stick and called him rubbish, he just looked him in the eye and said "I`m better than you" shut the fan right up, I like him but hope he doesent score against us.
Whata good idea Next Season, suprised that never came to me before. He's going in my FF team also. Cej you are a hoot!
when i signed him for Spurs, I knew all along he would become the greatest England forward of all time. When he scores a hat trick against Germany in the final, I will be given the David Pleat Award for Outstanding Transfer Decisions Which Nobody Thought Was Great At The TIme.
Can you do that?
Someone mentioned the fact that we swapped Zamora for Defoe. Yes, Zamora didn't score a league goal for us - but then again, he only played a handful of times. You guys probably don't know this, but Zamora's West Ham league goal record is not very different to Defoe's in his first period at Spurs. Zamora at West Ham 2004-8 = 30 goals in 85 full apps (45 sub), Defoe at Spurs 2004-8 = 43 goals in 88 full apps (51 sub).
Perhaps Chazza can let us know why Bobby was so popular at West Ham then.
Er, I mean unpopular.
TT - loving your 'not very different' stat between Bob and JD, althoug I have to say that to most people a 43% increase (i.e JD scored 143% of Bob's goal tally in the same period) is quite a lot.
Do you work for RBS, or the newly created Northern Rock 'Bad Bank'? Or are you a civl servant in the MP's expenses department perhaps?
...well, I was accounting slightly for Defoe's extra 9 apps...but I do admit to streching the point a little My point is that we all view Zamora as someone who doesn't score, yet he is half way (6 goals so far) to getting Defoe's highest league goal total in a season. (Admitted Defoe has already equalled his record - and hopefully should smash it - finally)
It's not as bad as Man City's maths - sacking Hughes for not meeting his target of 70 points - when he is virtually bang on target!
Zamora will cause us problems on Boxing Day. Stick money on it.
I am worried because Fulham ALWAYS play well against us. They have beaten us too many times lately. They are confident and on form. Murphy and Zamora are looking much better than when they were at Spurs. Dempsey worries me, because he is the one who pops up with goals, but it would probaby be a 30-yard screamer from Konchesky - just to rub it in. I would be ecstatic with merely a poimt - (saying this after 2 wins on the trot!).
they seriously turned UTD over.
1 point would be good! 3 would be beautiful!
COYS!
the good o'l bbc gossip column has struck gold again: 5 conflicting stories from 5 different papers about how much Harry ordered the sneaky sixteen sinners to donate to charity to atone for the party:

When you sit in row Z and the ball hits your head it's Zamora, and he meant it, because he was aiming for you, you mouthy over-critical Fulham blogging gits.
