Keown REVEALS Anelka's Jaw-Dropping Skills Forced Tony Adams To Exit Training Pitch In Frustration 😲

[@philthatcher6111]

Never forget that season where he outplayed king Drogba in his prime for 9 months. Anelka was quality at Bolton too, miss them days of footie.

[@strikingitrich7630]

Agreed

[@AntisthenesOfAthenai]

I love it when Keown is on! He has a great pace and voice for radio, and he has great chemistry with Jim and Simon.

Rio said the same thing...... totally struggled against him. Anelka was a beast!!!

[@thebatfan89]

He reached his potential at Chelsea, just a shame it happened so close to the end of his career.

[@T3akkeydhd]

No he didn’t. If he reached his potential we’d be talking about him as one of the greatest to ever play the game.

[@philthatcher6111]

He joined us at 28, he went off the boil around 22-23 years old but you are correct, he was an absolute boss for us.

[@aldeuce9106]

Was the only time I saw him consistently playing with a smile on his face.

[@robdogj]

@@T3akkeydhd I remember Anelka won a Golden Boot at Chelsea. Your footballing knowledge is lacking.

[@ismarcus00500]

So uneducated. When he joined Madrid he lost his momentum. Utter casual comment

[@Gizo02]

The fact that Anelka scored so many goals (including doing well agains the bigger clubs) for Man City and Bolton, including the struggling Man City team when their form nosedived and they battled against relegation in 2003/2004, and the struggling Bolton team after Allardyce left, really stood out to me.

[@rosefarrell2440]

Gérard Houllier signing El Hadji Diouf over Anelka was Truly Shocking!!! One of the worst decisions ever

[@Tarek_ElMaddah]

Diouf was flying in the World Cup and blew up the great French defence line. No one saw what was going to happen after at Liverpool.

[@jtmmmm27]

That was mainly fueled by the media making out Diouf was world class after the WC.

[@CEO786]

Diouf had one hell of a flight when it came to spitting, something Carragher picked up on and enacted. 😂

Does anyone else notice how uncomfortable and discontent Simon looks when someone is giving praise to someone who was unarguably brilliant ie Anelka on this occasion.

[@RankinMsP]

I'm yet to understand why he's there.

[@richardsmith9615]

Simon instigating a little bit, but it seems obvious that people forget just how bloody QUIICK Keown was too! He was a freak of nature really. He was still quick at 37 years old!

not too mention his flair. Ran rings around Zola in that Renford Rejects match.

[@billybigtime2808]

Keown didn’t play for my team but for those who know him as a well Spoken pundit and didn’t see him play back in the day should know he was an absolute beast of a defender. As competitive as any player hard fast and brave a proper defender like His life depended on it

He had indeed a problem. He had absolutely 0 tolerance for bullshit. Way too honest and sincere. That was his misfortune in football planet.

With Simon attitude you can clearly understand why he failed at being a football club owner and ended up being a Talk Sport worker smh

[@StrawCurrent]

Anelka amazing player 💯

[@BEANY567t]

I feel like he did reach his potential. Absolutely smashed it at Bolton and City, won so much at arsenal, Chelsea, Juventus and Madrid. He won pretty much everything in football

[@dundalis]

Winning team awards doesn’t equate to filling your potential. He could have been regarded as the best striker in the world but never really got close to that status.

[@dylanmould8154]

If Anelka at Chelsea isn’t reaching full potential… I don’t know what is

[@DC-YTC]

It's the Journey to Bolton & Man City (before the money), I thought Anelka would win a Balon d'Or in the mid 00s when I saw him in '97 so maybe that's what he means

Keown’s so poetic for a hardman.

I think they should play the semis at the Millennium and keep the final at Wembley. I agree with Martin, reaching the final was about getting to play at Wembley.

[@Razormiller]

I dont think Anelka was "never given the credit he deserves". He just never hit the heights on the field that was expected of his ability. Still a classy player brilliant player(hence why Real went for him) but frustrating at times. Felt like he had more potential then the level he reached. Think his attitude was wrong at times. Seemed very lazy

[@TheIkaraCult]

Anelka was exceptional, especially in the early Arsenal days but he was always producing pretty much wherever he ended up

[@DL-ol9zx]

Yeah I thought he seemed to finally settle when he was at Chelsea and got a lot of success there.

[@truthseeker9945]

Martin Keown looks like the missing link between Neanderthal and homosapien. His calm soothing voice doesn’t quite match the caveman like head. Fascinating specimen

[@Ben_Gunner]

Wenger used part of the Anelka fee to build a state of the art training facility that eclipsed anything another club had at that time.

[@themurph36]

What a player Anelka was

[@AW-kr9fl]

Well we replaced Anelka with Henry so it didn’t work out too badly. Wenger’s biggest mistake was breaking up the Invincibles too quickly and putting too much faith in players like Fabregas. Hated when we changed our style of play to wannabe Barca and totally neglected the defence for a decade.

[@lukethomas4314]

Bet he never did that to you did he Martin 🥱

[@121music4life]

Anelka could’ve been the biggest Arsenal legend of all time if he stayed for all he’s career… but then again we wouldn’t of signed Henry if he didn’t leave

[@matthewely1235]

Wenger still had the plan to sign Henry and pair them both, I saw him say that in an interview. Anelkas agents pushed him to Real because they showed interest in him.

[@robdogj]

Anelka did well at Chelsea. Bums don't recognize this fact 🤨

[@richardsmith9615]

He did well everywhere, really. The point wasn't about that, it was about him not staying at any one club long enough to leave a legacy. Despite having all the talent to be one of the greats
