''Adel Taarabt is a real talent. There will be games when he'll be the best player on the pitch, win the game and we'll all be talking about him come Monday morning; but there will also be times when we think he's a problem. The ability he has - and this is a massive statement - is Zidane-like at times."
:FP: Please Jamie... I like u and all, but please don't compare zidane to taarabt. Taarabt will never ever be as good as zidane... :sleepy:

The worst part is when he says and this is a massive statement cos that means he actually thought before he said what he said. Maybe he should of sat down and though about it again........

He said Zidane 'like' 'at times' not all the time. There is no doubt he is a good player but nowhere near the same league as Zidane, we know that and so does Jamie..
I reckon I could name quiet a few players he`s not as good as in the Premier League, never mind Zidane.

Within fiction writing, particularly within genres which demand the wilful suspension-of-disbelief, this practice of openly acknowledging a statement's inherent unlikeness is referred to as 'lampshade hanging'. Writers use this counter-intuitive technique because it both assures the reader that the writer is aware he's flying in the face of logic, and because it confirms that the statement was as initially implausible for the writer as it is now for the reader (so the reader should just 'trust' the writer with this one). It's a literary device which is also regularly deployed by second-rate journalists and people who spout fictional tripe and subsequently struggle to justify it.
poor jamie has become sky sports-ized, meaning he now talks ********!!!

Taarabt is like Zidane, and Alonso 'ran the show' when Liverpool won 4-1 at Old Trafford.

Barcelona literally passed Real Madrid off the pitch. The entire Barca starting eleven then received red cards and the match was abandoned. We all dreamed the 5-0.

Surely you meant 'belief'?

To be fair, if Taraabt puts in a couple of performance that are on the level of some of Zidane's poorer ones, then what Redknapp wrote is technically true.
