Well I’m of an age now where I don’t feel the necessary pressure to actually like our players, to pretend that I would like to be mates with them. Insufferable ****s some of them I imagine.

Eboue I really struggled with.

I enjoyed how so many people liked him and defended him as he was the proverbial japester. In fact he was a ****, and if you knew such a japestar in everyday life, in your place of work for example, you would think he was an insufferable ****.

Eboue was great craic though, because he played for us. In fact he was no better than an Ivorian Jimmy Bullard, and he was a complete **** as well.

Don’t even get me started on the penalty he gave away v Liverpool. ****ing cretin.


I’m with you on the booing mind you, a rum affair. But then what is football if it is not pantomime, boo and hiss, he is behind you.
