Garry Cook: the man that got rid of the club captain behind his back, the man who welcomed Uwe Rosler in to the “Manchester United” hall of fame this season, and the man who said it was a matter of when, not if, they beat United in the League Cup to reach Wembley. He is a tool of the highest order and provided us with one of the best quotes we could ever ask for about our local rivals.
“Comedy has always been at the heart of what this club is all about,” he said in November. Yes, the greatest comedy which has lasted going on 34 years. Unbelievable. He is like a spoof City chairman created by an ardent red.
But City reached new depths of embarrassment today. I don’t know if embarrassment is the right word. Painfully cringeworthy doesn’t come close to describing their tactless stunt today.
With Wayne Bridge having to deal with the fact the mother his child left him after having an affair with his mate, former club captain and current International captain, and apparently aborted his child and was paid off to do so, the City players thought it was a good idea to parade around with “Team Bridge” t-shirts after today’s match against Portsmouth. Whilst the left-back had announced he would not be making a statement about the reports, wanting to keep the affair as low key as possible for the sake of his child, it makes you wonder what on earth City were thinking about in this column inch grabbing stunt. As if Bridge’s heart break hadn’t been given enough publicity, the act of his team mates today will certainly make all the back and some of the front pages (depending on what calibre of newspaper you read).
“The reports deal with matters which are of a deeply personal and private nature,” he said this week. “My primary concern is the welfare of my son. Therefore, I intend to make no comment whatsoever either now or in the future about these reports and ask that my privacy is respected.”
The lad has been totally humiliated by his former team mate and his current team mates have ensured that humiliation goes a little bit deeper. What planet are they on??
You want to show Bridge support? Then give him a bell or take him out for a pint. Don’t wear a fucking tacky t-shirt which draws all the more attention to what took place.
This embarrassment of a club sunk to new depths today.
Cook’s idea? I seriously wouldn’t rule it out.
—————–
Just to illustrate the point…
It has now been reported in The Times, The Guardian, BBC, The Daily Mail, The Sun, ESPN etc.
Man Utd News 24/7
Hahahaha, cringe.com.
Oh my god. You could not make it up. Is there no depths these cunt’s won’t plummet? Jokers of the highest order.
hahahahaha only city!! really feel for bridge with mates like he has why would he ever need enemys
looooooooooooooooooooooooool
I feel so sorry for bridge. I used to like him when he was a Saints player. How embarassing for him!
you should read what it says on the back
“my team mate and his misses both got fucked by John Terry and all i got was this lousy tshirt”
These are probably the same team – mates that wound up Carlos Tevez and told him a pack of lies about what Gary Neville said in the press – it’s a horrible, cringeworthy stunt that must have Bridge wondering what he has done to deserve this honour!
Save your contempt for John Terry – he’s a filthy wretched criminal from a family of filthy, wretched criminals – how this vicious, obnoxious twat ever got to be captain of England is beyond me – if you want a real captain for Eng-gur-land, a man with three lions heaving in his chest, then look no further than our own, dear Wayne Rooney!
They really are becoming a living,breathing,walking talking,real life episode of Footballers Wives – Harchester City, the funniest club ever to put on a pair of football boots.
You said it best STR – DEAR GOD!
gotta hate – Quality mate.
Scott
They got the tshirt out when they beat us at the deluded lands
They probably have a dvd
Wouldn’t be surprised if they got a toilet roll
Hell got one better – they probably had a special burka made of their win : )
Small club small mentality
The point is those fucking two faced wankers wanted Terry in the first place not only in the team but as captain
The irony of it Scott – the irony
Wouldn’t that have been something? But you that’s why Terry name came to City – because he was banging Bridges significant other
Couldn’t even fucking write it if I tried – oh look just did : )
In today’s win something kept on coming into my head which I must write
Manchester – Manchester United – A bunch of bouncing Busby babes – They deserve to be knighted – If ever they’re playing in your town – You must get to that football ground – Take a lesson come to see football taught by Matt Busby.
Started by Sir Matt –
Continued by Sir Alex –
That’s for today’s win.
Cringefest from City, but what do we really expect?
It’s a MASSIVE gesture though.
Oh my god,you could not make this up! Morons! Brain cells are wasted on these people.
@ Gotta hate tiny tears
classic, I’m tryin’ to be all serious and you’re crackin’ me up!
wig head swales couldn’t surpass this a grade tube.
gawd bless shitty. they need everyones help.
We’ve had the ultimate contrasts this weekend. Two stories in the papers – Bridge and Terry and Edwin van der Sar saying how much he loves Man United for their support.
City ‘support’ their teammate by going against his wishes with a tacky, tasteless and self-promoting stunt.
Man United support Van der Sar with dignity, time and low profile support.
No wonder Edwin is so bowled over my United, no wonder City will always be the second club in Manchester…
class !! its too funny lmao
Hahaha! They are the lowest of the lows. Gary Cook is so right, they are a bunch of comedians, bless them! Opting to show support for Bridge this way instead of putting up posters around Manchester is just really weird though. Since they intended to attract more attention to this already spiced up affair, it would have been wise to put up posters with Bridge’s picture on them and the message ‘Team Bridge’. This t-shirt thing is so 2009.
@ Ghtt lol, had me in stitches!
Wayne Bridge bought his wife a replica of his knob made from Cadburys Chocolate. She said ‘CADBURYS!’ you know I prefer Terrys.
City are media whores. They didn’t want John Terry being the only person to get any attention from this, they wanted to get into the papers again because their football is winding down (even in victory today they showed stunningly average quality) and so they want the press of a Big Four club without the class of a Big Four club.
It’s been said many times — “Noisy Neighbors” — and this just proves that point even more but on a national scale. It’s been the same with all of their stupid little PR stunts since they were bought, and their “blue moon” nonsense, or misleading Carlos “Twat” Tevez about Garry Neville’s comments to ignite a beef in the press. It won’t stop with this either, even if they go all season without a single trophy (highly likely unless they exploit the FA Cup exits of three of the top four) they will still make nothing but noise.
Go ahead and spend another £200 million this summer, nobody cares about Manchester City, go paint it blue with “Welcome to Manchester” billboards… United don’t care because on match day… the WORLD is RED, something they will NEVER experience.
For fuck sake, his bird shagged Terry and had an abortion. Why is Terry still walking. How much money has Bridge got, ok hes no Beckham, but Im pretty sure he can organise a fekkin knee caping. He took away what you loved, take away what he loves.
Desite how cringey it may be….it nevertheless is a nice gesture, and we should atleast applaud that, from a neutral perspective.
Oh yeah and as for the shirts, Im speechless, I cant come up with the words of how bloody tasteless, disrespectful and damn right tacky and homo it really is. The rest of this blog should be used to try and come up with a word that best describes the morons that are city players.
I would like to laugh, but can’t – I think I can only feel sorry for Wayne Bridge here – City have made themselves look like complete tools – it would still be okay if the England players at City had worn that shirt too, which obviously didn’t happen – which just goes to show how much ‘Team Bridge’ really matters. But apart from that, I think this is just an illustration of how manufactured a club city is – their real classlessness shows in how they humiliated Mark Hughes, and now are doing the same to Wayne Bridge.
I think its just sad, and I feel sorry for Wayne Bridge, and the deepest disgust (which has nothing to do with my football affiliation) for John Terry and Manchester City. A more despicable human being than John Terry we will not find, and a more despicable club than Man City might be even tougher.
Commiserations, Wayne Bridge. I’m not going to laugh at what is I’m sure genuine heartbreak for Bridge.
Coz City are a massive club!
@ Gerrydaly4
my sentiments exactly mate
I am fuming actually about Terry the cunt. He isn’t going to face any condemnation is he? Just this morning the like of Oliver Kay from the times and Jon Beale from the Sun were asked on Sunday supplement if he still should be captain of Ingerlund? It was a fucking resounding YES! They were saying they “don’t go in for all the responsibilty and role model stuff the captaincy brings, as long as he does it on the pitch”. What the fuck? Kids are supposed to look up to the Captain of Ingerlund and should aspire to be like him. He simply must be stripped as it just is wrong and sends out the wrong message. Thing is though he won’t be. Sincerely hope this cunt is not lifting the Jules Rimet come next summer.
“Unbelievable. He is like a spoof City chairman created by an ardent red”.
Fucking bang on Scott!
A bridge too far………Cunts
Terry is a top class act………..he took on the mantle of “daddy of the year” last year and this year he is all about paying to get rid of an unborn child…..daddy of the year alright. Makes me sick
Feel sorry for the kids; grandad is a drug delaing gangsta. grandma and auntie are shoplifters and now “daddy of the year” is a lying betraying piece of shit
Hope they keep him on at Chelsea and show just why they are a top class club
No English player wore the tshirt for city
what a fucking way to divide a team by sticking your nose in were it has no buisness being in.
this is one of the stupidest things ive ever seen
i really hoped Terry signed for this club
the deserve each other
Classless personified.
TEAM *CRINGE*
The baby’s not yours,
The baby’s not yours,
The baby’s john terry’s,
The baby’s not yours.
ghtt……….thats fucking hilarious.
Scott- get that on a t shirt in the shop
When England Fook up in the world cup then the tabloids will look for scapegoats. Terry is a soap opera character at this stage, a prize gimp that can’t be taken seriously.
City are mugs and the team bridge shirts prove that but chelseas statement that its a personal issue is a bullshit pr front denying another major indiscretion by their fine captain
I just wanted to say that the Manchester City players who wore the t-shirt were just sticking up for their team mate. On Saturday the Chelsea players were all over Terry when he scored- to show their support for him. I believe the Mancity players were be loyal, being a team, being mates to show their support for Wayne Bridge and that is good. The fault here is with John Terry, he shouldn’t be England Captain.
However on a different note, Rooney is just class, Nani- I’m so glad for you. Why is it that United players like Scholes, Giggs, Rooney, Fletcher are all likeable and players like Lamps, Terry, Joe Cole are all cockky anoying unlikeable egotistical players. All the things Giggs has one-he is so likeable, cool, respectfull. SAF signs the right sort of players mentally as well as ability
Dear God, what a bunch of idiots, that’s pouring salt in the wound…
They really are stupid to wear that shirt, do they know he is already devastated to get more attention about it.
i don’t know whether to laugh or feel sad for bridge… speechless.
now that i’ve got two boys of my own as much as its tempting to buy that t-shirt and rub the salt in, i just feel sad for the poor bridge kid who has to grow up with this family shame. the hate for terry grows.
i guess the city players were trying to be supportive but what an idiotic thing to do!
So none of you would have worn Team Van Der Sar shirts if they had been around?
I mean it’s a donkey way to show support but at least the intentions are good I hope.
And Fuck shitty.
Manchuchu,
I hope you’re not implying that VDS’s Wife’s situation and Bridge’s situation are similar….. If so…. You need your head checked….
Scott how about a t-shirt of JT????
One hand holding his cock and the other hand grabbing some moneyy????
I wouldnt wear it, but it would be hillarious…..
@Scott exactly what i thought! what a stupid bunch. STUPID
GHTT – nice comment as always mate…LMAO.
mr. Cook is totally United wannabe…
start from ETIHAD that means UNITED..
and now i bet he just remembered our SMUDGE t-shirt…
Thank goodness Im not a city supporter.
What a stupid idea
What a stupid idea …..Gary Cook… hmmm
They should have written “Team (Stamford) Bridge”
Seriously ONLY AT CITY! It just wouldnt happen at any other club……they are the clowns of the league.
On form today I see, GHTT!
The whole thing is wretched, Terry is beyond the deepest contempt, and I feel very sorry for Bridge, not helped by those idiotic t-shirts. Beyond all that however, the thing that bothers me is the damage to England’s World Cup chances. I’m not normally too bothered one way or the other about England (I support any international team with a United player, currently Portugal for Nani) but I would love to see England storm to victory in the World Cup with Wazza leading the charge (with maybe Rio, Carrick and Brown in supporting roles!). He’s such a great player, a fantastic team man, loyal to his club and to his mates, it would be great to see him cement his reputation as one of the Greats with a golden medal on his chest to add to 3 others won this season with United. This Terry business really could damage all that.
John terry dad of the year, maybe the city players shud have had that on there shirts lol.
John Terry at it again?
viva john terry
viva john terry
coulda won the cup
but he fucks it up
viva john terry
its city an’t it?
JT deserved to be dad of the year…he has so many who call him dad…
I am sure we will find some more as the days go by…If I was Ashley Cole and other Chelsea team mates of JT I would take my lady out to the doc for a check up….you never know…
Also one person I would really like to hear comment on this JT saga is Jose Mourinho…
Oh my god it’s so cringeworthy it’s untrue – this is ridiculous, they really are the laughing stock.
“A small club with a small mentality” – this statement gets more true everything I think about it!
