5-4-Friday… Pilloried Footballer

In no particular order here is my take on the ‘Infamous Five’

Mate of mine did some work for Gary Neville and he tried to spark up a conversation with him only to be told ” I am paying you to do a job not talk ” Sounds like a right cunt to me!

Lampard isn’t fat but his ‘Ring kissing’ ( Make of that what you will! ) does tend to get on opposition fan’s nerves, especially when he is kissing it in front of them in the 94th minute after scoring the winner!

Beckham’s ok I suppose but Fergie had the measure of him and curtailed his ‘Brand Bandwagon’ before it got out of hand!

Bale has always had a look of Zoonie the Lazoon off ‘Fireball XL5’ and got ridiculed even before he rose to the top of the pile! Lots of players get lampooned, it’s what football fans do to ease the boredom when their team is playing shite, it’s just that our lot are not very good at it!

As for Crouch, he is gonna get ridicule for his height and awkward playing style! Also, let’s not forget the ‘Monica Mint’ story that surfaced just after yet another England failure in a major comp!

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, eh?[/quote]

I am perfect in every way! ;)

Here’s my take on them, with assorted name drops inserted:

I’ve met Gary Neville several times through work (CLANG) and I’ve always found him to be a decent bloke, however, I can confirm his dad is an absolute tool.

I briefly chatted with Lampard and John Terry (CLANG, CLANG) at the Hilton hotel in Athens prior to their match against Olympiakos as they knew the people I was with. Both were really chatty and seemed decent enough. (Incidentally, the people I was with were Walter Smith and Ally McCoist… CLANG, CLANG)

Beckham: never met him, but I had lunch with his mum, sister and Ashley Cole’s mum (CLANG-ish) in Katowice, Poland, then sat with them for the England game. Which was nice.

Never met Bale, but I’d be happy to look like a monkey for the amount of money he’s earning.

Crouch: I used to work with Portsmouth. He always said hello or good morning, and was one of the most approachable of the players they had. Again, seemed like a decent lad. His wife once sat on the row in front of me at a game and she spend the entire match with her head down, texting.

Not a bad article Griff, pity you had, you had, you had, to spoil it with a bit of the old Fred Elliott’s in the Frank Lampard bit.

What have I told you about getting your mates to proof read your work, a said what have I told you……. :P :lol:

The cartoon geezer from the Gorilaz is more like him, top right

All this talk of other teams footballers and no mention of our own.

Wayne step over entwistle
Gary Teale
Emile Heskey
Jordi Gomez (don’t think he’s getting the same from the mackems)
Danny Landzaat

I’m sure there’s others even Don Page and Kevin Langley took some stick, always a scapegoat at Latics and someone to castigate in public even when every single player on the pitch was useless.

Haha no I’m not – I’m just saying were as bad if not worse for calling our own players!
As it happens I’ve pretty much stuck for ever player on that list bar Entwistle.
I think you’ll find I’m the one person on here who has stuck up for our players. It’s the manager I think who’s a cnut.
