    'him'

    So there's one minute and 10 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.

    Bruce maca-whatever. Whom I loathe. May have just accidentally come up with the best new nickname in footy.

    God is taken, The King is taken, Mr Football is taken.......what is there left to call Bontempelli???

    Here is a direct transcript of Bruce's call as Bont bang ones through

    ."........You know who...... of course it's him. It's HIM. You KNOW who it is"


    Bontempelli is simply 'HIM'

      Re: 'him'

      I'm happy to sing from the Him book.

      Leigh Matthews called him a superstar this morning and additionally said there's 20 year olds that play like 30 year olds and 30 year olds that play like 20 year olds. And Marcus plays like a 30 year old.

          I like it. Him it is.

          I have a bit of a disdain for surname based nicknames unless it's particularly funny., like Brett Heady's nickname being 'jobby', that's OK someone's thought about it and hasn't just added or subtracted a 'y'. It shows a distinct lack of imagination and even respect. After all your nickname is important. It's the name your mates use and your stuck with it for life.

              Or. Maybe. We could say it's a blasphemy to utter his name and we could just nod knowingly to one another whenever he just does it again.

                          Why not Mr Football with a tweak? With his Italian heritage, Signor Football.

                          Is Fooch still used at the club for him?
