he does more than you think to be fair to him
brilliant. Drogba defends nowhere near as much as rooney
Rooney for Ballon D’or
The white pele is the hardest working forward in europe, ronny’s just behind him lol.
Drogba is so full of himself. Rooney plays old-fashioned, hard nose football, and that’s why he’ll be a United legend.
Once a blue, always a red.
Rooney at Porto
Poor Sissokho didnt have a chance
Rooney does it better AND he doesnt fucking praise himself!
Drogba has the biggest ego on earth. Lol he thinks his the best
Truth is Drogba’s a really good footballer…
… but he’s a cunt.
Gee id love to poison drogba…anywayz
I do agree, Wayne Rooney for Ballon D’or
ya, rooney is the hardest working striker in the world..DROGBA, u just got NAILED!!!
Dont think you would see Drogba do a sliding tackle with his head…..
lol What an arrogant assclown.
you would never hear this shot come out of anyones mouth other than a member of that team
Rio said he was worried when joining manchester united because of the big egos that must be around the dressing room due to the players that were at the team and the trophys they have won, but when he got there he said that there isnt an ego in sight
which is the way a dressing room should be
jose mourinho pumps up players egos that they think there shit doesnt stink which in time will blow up in the faces of the fans mostly
which it has
drogba
is a product of the jose mourinho way of man managing
and almost everybody who becomes one of his golden boys has an over blown ego
Wayne Rooney will never ever say that he runs around and puts in more work than many center midfielders
white pele
Arrogant self absored cunt. Really hope the rentboys come a cropper. Not fit to lace Waynes boots.
Yes Mr Drogba you are an example to every youngster out there how to behave on a pitch.
Unlike that foul mouthed sore loser we all saw on the TV not long ago whoever he was?
Daddy, what does “fucking disgrace” mean?
Drogba works hard,..but rooney does twice what drogba does!!..rooney 4 balloon d or.
He is a cunts cunt simple really, he along with A Hole, JTTTTTTTT, Fat Lammmmps and Obi one Mikel or whatever he wants to call himself really sum up why I hate those cockney rent boy twats.
Daddy whys Cantona kicking shit out of that fan!!…yeah you’ve had some great role models lol
London_Lad, because racism is bad, and King Eric showed him what every racist deserves. A boot in the face.
Now go to your room!
Drogba taks about “other great strikers”. The only thing about him that’s great is his ego.
As for Cantona, London Lad, he is a role model to us Mancs for sorting out the London gobshite who was foul-mouthing his mother, and not bottling it.
i think drogba is an uncivilised ape
but a great footballer
not as good as rooney
@London_Lad – Prepare to return to supporting QPR or Palace mate. By the time you’re allowed to sign another player the average age of your squad will be 50, and the Russian cunt will lose interest, Chav$ki will be shit once again, and the Bridge will be empty for years and years to come.
dont worry london lad
im sure youll be comforted by all those european cups youve won
oh wait…
I find it really weird. Since when did he defend more than any other forward? I seldom see him defend too. He fall to the ground more easily than Ronaldo. Although he play well but not too often and he won’t even get nominated once for Ballon D’or. Not a chance to win it.
no other footballer in the world makes me dry reach as much as Drogba, he disgusts me the way he goeas about his football… the way he goes down like a 5 year old girl when he is built like a brick shithouse is absolutely disgusting.
Scott, please refrain from mentioning him on your blog again, as I have just been a little bit sick in my mouth.
you know, the thought that this cunt would even think he works harder than our boy pisses me off.
somebody get me vidic!
Has Drogba ever tried the heading sliding tackle…lol
http://www.redcafe.net/f6/rooneys-heading-sliding-tackle-265656/
Sorry to go off topic but still RentBoy related. According to Talkshite Tiny Tears has come out and said , baring in mind this is “Mr Chelsea”. “Failing to qualify for Euro 2008 HURT MORE than missing the penalty in the Champions League Final”. What the fuck? If I was a Chelsea fan I would be disgusted with this cunt especially after what he did in the summer regarding the transfer. Furthermore and this beggars belief, Darren Gough and Adrian Durham have praised him and called him…………. wait for it…………………Mr Ingerlund!!!! You could not make this up.
Can you imagine Giggsy or Nev acting like this?
“Scott, please refrain from mentioning him on your blog again, as I have just been a little bit sick in my mouth.”
Muggaz – Superb mate.
Dirk Kuyt has competition then! Not good
haha. U also dive. Forgot to mention that? Rooney doesnt fall easy!
Rooney is the only player currently playing for Ingerland that deserves that “Mr Ingerland” tag he has been immense for his country of late, and certainly this season for United he has been unplayable.
Rooney doesn’t go down like a hooker on prom night like the 6ft 2 Ivorian.
You can’t criticise Drogba for swearing at the tv when you use childish bad language on here
Er this isn’t watched by millions like a Champions league semi, sorry but I am not paid £150k a week to play professional sport and be a role model to kids like that twat.
I’ve been a football fan for as long as i can remember and
i don’t recall any player who had pissed me off as much as
Didier Drogba. He gets to my nerves like nobody on earth.
everything he says and does makes me wanna erase his face
off this planet.
Drogba, no player in this frigging world works as hard as
Rooney on the pitch, even the harworking Vidic isn’t a match
to him. You don’t even come closer. What the hell is wrong with you?
You a good player but a shity human being. You a diver, you
complain all the time for no good reason just like a hooker,
you full of yourself…tell me what do you do on the pitch that makes you such a special player….let me guess, nada…so go screw yourself and i mean it.
Just visited this site for an opportunity to express an opinion relating to the football discussion, but reading the vile, uncouth postings here, I shall refrain.
I had no idea that Manchester supporters were so lowly and uneducated. I see words normally uttered only by the very lowest of the low… gutter language associated with the most worthless and spineless of peasants. The parents of such offal must surely be appalling creatures themselves, to have brought up their offspring to be of such sub-species level. Reading the messages of these cursing, ignorant brutes conjures up images in one’s mind’s eye of ugly, pale spotted faces, negligible chins, and protruding foreheads, sat upon thick unwashed necks, fat bellies and plentiful buttocks.
I will not frequent this den of foul mouthed, undignified and seemingly retarded simpletons again.
Rooney defends his ass off . His sliding tackles are the best in the team bar Evra . He didn’t give Sissokho , walcott and Maicon any space what so ever . But sometimes he loses it , if and a very big if , a player goes past him he brings him down .
Pls hope for a good result for malta
my cousin can’t stop spamming me e-mails he wants a win Lol
^(vs ibrahimovic and co.)
Didier… come on;p u must be jocking;]
i thought it was Anelka with the above said words. but that’s the Rent Boys for you. can’t praise them enough
hahaha… you are funny sir cecil… you motherfucking, shit-eating, twat-avoiding, cunt! if you ever fucking come in here again i will tell your fucking cunt-lipped rentboy Drogba that you fucked a hotspur in the ass so he will not suck that little fucking prick of yours ever again! boy will be be fucking disappointed. get back to rubbing down your 10 year old sons thighs with milk… go away, you little bitch.
@jta82united: Very well said mate! You even taught him how to speak proper English!
Sir Cecil
I for one do not appreciate your ignorance. The way the people on here conduct themselves does not concern you as it wasn’t directed at you except if you are delusional enough into thinking you are actually Drogba.
“Reading the messages of these cursing, ignorant brutes conjures up images in one’s mind’s eye of ugly, pale spotted faces, negligible chins, and protruding foreheads, sat upon thick unwashed necks, fat bellies and plentiful buttocks.

You really have a weird imagination. Just because some people like to express themselves differently doesnt mean they are any less of a human being then you are.
You are rude and think you are better than everyone else, if thats the case then,Kindly go to a corner curl up and die. Good day [=
Also If you decide to visit these ‘seemingly retarded simpletons again’ make sure you stay on topic as i’m sure no one gives a flying fuck of you think of them.
——————-
Anyway i hate that cunt Drogba. What i hate most about him is his over-confidence. i honestly can not believe he came out with such comments, he hardly even defends.
Sir Cecil – You say you came on here to express an opinion but then decided to “refrain”. However you then go on to make an opinion. Make your mind up. Anyway how do you feel about “Mr Chelsea” saying it hurt more to miss the Euro’s than it did missing a pen in a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL? The man is a joke pal.
scum, sub-human scum= Drogba
Sir Cecil you fucking cunting wanker son of a whore ignorant prick ladyboy, be gone with you. Bye.
The twat is just here to say some words with a little spark in the sentence.
All in all
hes a cunt
I hate the cunt with a passion….
Oh god. We aint gonna hear the end of Fat Frank and Saint Steve now!
@King Eric
Just what I was thinking. I’m going to switch over to the “massive” match Iceland vs Georgia now, can’t stand seeing Fatty Frank and Stevie Me celebrate even though I usually support England in big competitions…
OMFG!!!!! forget Messi forget Ronaldo… its Mr Lampard and Mr Gerard who are the best in the whole wide world….
I really should give up smoking the auld LSD…..
Heskey is just shite. Owen would have burried those chances.
fucking hell…… not stevie fucking me again… thats 2 each for him and fat boy
ROOOOOONNNYYYYYY
He is a diving cheating pain in the arse but he is a a top player , wish we had him playing up top with rooney for us
Blah, at least Wazza scored. Seeing Fat Frank parade around the pitch with his gut hanging out was getting to be too much to take. Not to mention the cunt Stevie.
And Sir Cecil, if you don’t like the way champions talk, just jog on then mate, fucking twat.
I came to realise another reason why I cannot get excited or interested by Ingerlund. I just cannot for the life of me cheer for the likes of Stevie Me, Fat Frank, Tiny Tears and Barry. It sounds awful this but everytime I watch them I have a overwhelming feeling inside I actually want them to get beat. Aside from Wayne and the other United representatives I can’t stand the way the media will drool over them and hype them to fuck again. I really need to try and change my attitude before the World Cup.
I’m going to buck the trend on this one in one sense, only because I am sick of the sight of Drogba turning up as an extra centre half and nodding the ball away when the rest of Chelsea’s defence has been comprehensively beaten. Drogba is correct. There are no forwards I know that can do quite the same job as him in defence – and that includes Wayne. He works with strength, precision and ‘know-how’ in that role.
I don’t particularly like the way Drogba has conducted himself on many occasions but I can not help but admire the man’s ability and hunger to win. His problem is the club he is at and the awful way they have tried to stage manage their rise to the top. The club is not big enough to cope with the players it has aquired. They do not have the history, presence or experience to deal with the Drogbas of this world. Only a club such as ours can create the humility and respect required to become true greats.
^So to some it up, you think he’s a great player, but a bit of a cnut. I don’t think you’d have anyone disagreeing with you there, everyone knows what a really good player he is, just a bit of an ass. And oh, sorry but I can’t agree Drogba does more defensive work than Rooney, I just can’t.
though he has lesser awareness, drogba is stronger and a bigger aerial threat.
gotta love the guy, helped us in champions league.
“Scott, please refrain from mentioning him on your blog again, as I have just been a little bit sick in my mouth.”
I second Muggaz. Felt like throwing up reading it.
ye drogba sacrifices himself for the team. What for 5 mins in a match the other 85 he is throwing himself on the floor big fucking cheating fanny.
Drogba does defend well, even Jose said once if he had better attackers in an injury crsis he would of stuck Drog at the back. But I also agree he is a total c**t. Its funny that many africans are very in consistant in what they say, and its also funny apart from Jemba Jemba (is that how u spell it) Fergie rarely goes near african players to my knowledge.
Were a big team in money terms only I agree, it was the only way to break the mould when Arsenal and Man Utd were dominating, and Man City also have had this luck. But don’t u think football has become boring the way the same teams every year dominate europe and their own leagues. I am sure all of us could predict at least 6 of the last 8 that will be left in the champs league this year, and the last 4/5 years, now thats not good for football. But it takes nothing away, Drog is a massivley talented inconsistant c**t.
Blue.
If rolling on the floor while a counter-attack takes place counts as defending then I honestly haven’t seen anything like you, Drog!!!
guess dogba watches his games only no one beats Roons commitment …he should learn before talking
@ Stephen
Rooney doesn’t go down like a hooker on prom night like the 6ft 2 Ivorian.
hilarious mate!!
Here lads the whole drogba diving thing. None of you woud have said anything about cristiano ronaldo rolling around the place last season or the season before or the season before that. i am in no way saying that diving is ok but theres alot more players than didier drogba diving. However i do dislike drogba greatly and think hes a sorry excuse for a human being. his mediocracy is never brought to public view and i truely believe if he was playing for city or other rubbish along those lines that he would not score half the amount of goals. absolute waster!
RONNEY IS THE BEST in defending and offencing but Drogba is more sharp than Rooney
Haha Nicky7, so true mate. The amount of time he spends on the ground you’d think he was made of ivory, rather than just playing for them.
DRUG-gba shut your trap,u fucking chip diver!
@Sir Cecil
Ur such faggot….
go fuck urself
drogba’s a wanker i hate the fucker
I like the way Drogba plays since the day he joined Chelsea, and I think he’s one of the best striker in the world. But when he’s behaving like an octopus in Champions league final in Moscow, I place him among shits like Filippo Inzaghi and Adebayor.
He spends more time swearing into a Sky Television camera. Fucking horrible cunt.
Sir Cecil – fuck off you mincing cunt.
Rooney always sacrify himself to make the team win.
Rooney is the King!
