Credit Where It Is Due

When you sell a player like Craig Bellamy, there's always the chance that he will come back to haunt you. He might not have fitted in at Anfield - or Benitez saw it that way - but there's no denying that he is a very good striker. Him scoring a goal against Liverpool certainly wasn't a surprise.


Given how he left Liverpool - unceremonioiusly dumped after just one season - I have to admit that I expected a different reaction when he scored. Perhaps not sheer joy but at least some form of celebration. Instead, Bellamy restrained himself to a mere clap towards the City supporters out of respect for the club he supported as a kid and its fans.

That gesture seems to have gotten forgotten in the whole aftermath of the game, but it was nice to see Bellamy reacting in this manner.

He is a player most opposing fans love to hate but it was a nice show of respect and kudos to him for that.
