Believe it or not, John Terry was a player I was once an admirer of. I knew that he’d turned us down in favour of Chelsea when he was lad, despite his dad bringing him up a United fan, but kids do stupid things, eh?
Lots of people seemed to see Terry like I did though, which probably contributed to his downfall. He was never the best defender but he was always one of the most dedicated. But people talked him up, myself included, this ‘British Bulldog’, and it went to his head. I can only imagine how much Jose Mourinho pumped his ego, given all the Chelsea players still walk around like Billy Big Balls, thinking it’s totally acceptable for them to behave however they like.
April 16th 2007
Terry: “I am Chelsea, through and through – I want to stay for life, I love the club, love the players, love the manager, Roman – and I want everyone around me when I do stay.”
May 1st 2007
Terry: “I’d certainly like to manage one day. When we were speaking about my contract with Chelsea we were talking about a nine-year contract maybe with an option to manage at the end of it. That is certainly the way I want to go.”
February 29th 2008
Terry: “I really can’t see myself leaving and I signed a new contract earlier in the season. I love the club, and I’m so passionate about Chelsea. I just want Chelsea to succeed. I like to think I know what the fans go through on a weekly basis. I don’t just come in, train and go home and forget about things, I take it home with me. I am fortunate to be in the position I am at an amazing club like Chelsea, and to enjoy the things that come with being a professional footballer. I have been here on £45 per week and worked my way through to being where I am today. I appreciate everything and work hard every day.”
May 24th 2008
Terry: “I am so sorry for missing the penalty and denying you the fans, my team-mates, family and friends the chance to become European champions. Many people have told me I don’t need to say that but I feel I need to, that’s just me. I have relived that moment every minute since it happened. I have only slept a few hours and wake up every time hoping it’s all been a bad dream. I have had some amazing support from fans, current and ex-players, family and friends and I need to thank everyone for that. But I am a big man and I take responsibility for us not winning. I am and always will be Chelsea through and through. I will give my all on and off the pitch to win this trophy as a player and one day as a manager. And I am sure we will win it. That night in Moscow will haunt me forever and I feel I have let everybody down and this hurts me more than anything. I am not ashamed about crying. This is a trophy I have tried so hard year after year to win and it was just an uncontrollable reaction, I wear my heart on my sleeve, everybody knows that.”
December 13th 2008
Wilkins: “If I was to pick one at the club to surpass Zola in the future, I’d say John Terry because he epitomises what we’re about. He’s professional and he’s a one-club player. I would imagine in 10 years’ time when they have their next poll, John will probably be the one that will sit at the top of the pile.”
February 15th 2009
Terry: “Chelsea told me what had happened with the enquiry as a courtesy. I was very happy with their reaction as mine would have been the same. I have always said that I want to end my career at the club which I love and we all see no reason why that cannot happen. Given recent events I am more determined than ever to make Chelsea successful again.”
Kenyon: “We made it very clear that John was not for sale. We did not entertain any further conversation on the subject and nor will we in the future. John is our captain and the captain of England. He is part of the heart and soul of Chelsea.”
Wilkins: “There must be some very wealthy clubs out there if you think John Terry is leaving. I would not think John will be going anywhere. He adores Chelsea, his family live in the area and he has everything he desires at Chelsea. I would expect him to start with us next season. That is an absolute certainty.”
July 4th 2009.
Terry: “Next season we need to make sure we start a lot better than we did last year and really push for the Premier League because I would love to win that trophy again, as well as being back in the mix for the Champions League.”
Silence. Two bids came in for Terry and he said nothing. There were plenty of opportunities, like press conference for the release of their new kit or the press conference before they went to the States on pre-season, but Terry didn’t say a word. The fans kept telling themselves that he wasn’t going but as every week went by they had to wonder why he wasn’t just putting the rumours straight.
When he was accused of spitting at Carlos Tevez in the European Cup final, he spoke to the press immediately. When Didier Drogba shouted that it was a “fucking disgrace!” in to camera which was beaming pictures all around the world, Terry immediately spoke to the press in defence. “I am fully behind Didier Drogba for the way he reacted,” Terry bizarrely said. What kind of captain is fully behind a player abusing the referee and swearing in to a Sky Sports camera? No wonder the Chelsea players behave as they do with a captain backing all their apalling behaviour!
So, it’s not as if Terry is camera shy or doesn’t like the sound of his own voice. Every time Chelsea get a new manager, Terry goes on and on about how brilliant they will be and what a positive impact they’ve had on the club, and when they get sacked, he insists they had his full support. So if he can defend his good name when came to Tevez, back his players, wax lyrical about every new manager, why did take so long for him to reasure the fans he supposedly loves so much? Could it possibly be because he was giving a move to City a second thought? Course not! This is Mr. Chelsea we’re talking about here!
“I said I wanted reassurances about people like Ashley – who was brilliant last year – him and Frank were our best players last year. He has two years left on his current deal and I want players like that around me, I want these players staying at Chelsea Football Club and I am sure the fans feel exactly the same.”
Hold on, so Terry couldn’t tell the press and fans he wanted to stay until he knew that Lampard and Cole were staying? This attitude doesn’t quite fit with the “I am Chelsea, through and through – I want to stay for life, I love the club”, does it? He wants to stay for life… as long as Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole stay too?
“I have been at the club 14 years and it is strange because it is the first time in my career that someone has come in for me, and the speculation surrounding it is a bit strange as everyone expects you to come out and respond to things instantly, which I had done a couple of times last year when City came in for me. I just felt I would do this in my time, in Chelsea’s time and do things when it was right for us but I am very pleased with how things have gone.”
Terry states what we all know. He has been silent for a month. He has ‘done this is his own time’. But he doesn’t explain why. Why did he have to do this in his own time and keep quiet? Because his head was turned by City? No, of course not!
“I just wanted reassurances that key players around me like Ashley and Didier, who are in contract talks at the moment, are going to be staying and that was a key factor for me, so I am pleased about these players and the ambition at the club is in the right direction and where I want to be,” Terry repeated.
Now whilst I think City are pretty delusional, they’re not complete idiots. There have been dropping bids for players all over Europe since last September and haven’t had too much luck with the bigger names. Robinho is the only player who stands out and he thought he had signed for Chelsea. But they’re not mugs. They don’t keep bidding for the same players over and over once they’ve been told no. So someone at some point has given City hope in signing Terry. The fact that Terry kept his gob shut for a whole months all but confirms it was a possibility. If Terry can’t explain why he needed to stay quiet for so long and cites the future’s of Lampard and Cole as reason why he was unsure of his own future, the picture paints itself.
We can look at Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville, with a total of 50 years in the first team, and even longer a part of our club, it is clear none of them would behave like this.
“I have been offered a one-year extension to my current deal but I turned it down,” said Giggs as a 30-year-old. “I was hoping for a longer deal. I want to end my career at Manchester United and asked them to reconsider.” So the club came back with a two year offer on a decreased salary and he accepted.
Chelsea clearly have a more appealing wage structure for players over 30 than we do, with Lampard putting pen to paper on a 5-year-deal last summer, so there should be no financial worries for Terry, surely? Well, whilst Chelsea offer much more lucrative contracts than United, City now dwarf Chelsea in what they’re prepared to offer.
Rio Ferdinand stalled on a contract a few years back and was booed by our fans. Those at FC United still sing about it. Whilst I’d argue most United fans have forgiven (if not forgotten) after the years have gone by, but there are still some who don’t have time for him. He’s a cockney ex-Leedscum captain and even with our lower expectations of him, we still expected better behaviour from him.
Some Chelsea fans have expected better from Terry but they are in the minority. The general consensus is that as long as he’s staying, it doesn’t matter that he’s flirted with City over the past few months. It’s a sad reflection on what football fans find acceptable.
But United fans aren’t perfect where this issue is concerned, believe it or not, thanks to our feelings towards Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham, the lifelong United fan.
Ronaldo’s mention only needs to be brief because he was no “United through and through” type player, but his disgraceful behaviour in the press last summer and his poor attitude on the field was tolerated by so many, simply because he was so good. I wasn’t one of these fans and whenever I criticised him there were plenty of fans telling me I was in the wrong. He had loads of support despite making it clear he wanted to leave the club, far more forcefully than Terry, who chose just to stay quiet whilst he considered an offer, instead of repeatedly talking to the press about his desire to leave.
As for Beckham, and I’ve covered this issue at length before so won’t go in to that much detail here, but it shows no group of fans are immune to following their hearts rather than their heads where their favourite players are concerned.
Before signing for Real Madrid but when clearly the talks had begun, Becks started making excuses for himself, which are long forgotten now by most.
“I’ve never said that I’d never move away from Manchester, and I’ve never said that I’d end my career there,” Beckham said less than a month before his move was finalised. Had Beckham stayed at United, would this comment have been forgiven? We can only speculate.
As it is, Beckham did leave, and since leaving has spoken of his love for United and our fans repeatedly. It’s easy to forget the cloud under which he left and it’s easier to pass the buck to Ferguson. We love him regardless of any faults so we’ll blame him for Beckham leaving to allow us to love Beckham still. Truth is, I wouldn’t blame Ferguson for losing patience with Beckham, following his substandard performances, controlling wife, obsession with his ‘brand’ off the field and refusal to sign the contract we offered him. “It’s not the salary that’s a problem, it’s just the image rights that needed a little perking,” Beckham said five months before leaving.
So Terry will be greeted like the Prodigal Son, with a new contract on the way no doubt, regardless of what he claims, just as David Beckham is by United fans. There are a few rare players, like Paul Scholes’ whose wage isn’t the be all and end all, but it seems as though most others will always have a price, particularly if the wages are being paid by a top team in Europe. Whatever players claim about being “fans”, sadly most of them don’t see the game the same way we do, and whilst money remains as football’s god, we’ll see more “through and through” players messing their clubs and fans about.
Man Utd News 24/7
Gotta hate tiny tears
at united that player wud have been kicked out with a hair dryer special from fergie(apart frm ronaldo for whom fergie had a soft corner)
ghtt
sorry for asking this question
is that why u have kept ur name ghtt?
from what i can see, i reckon, that citeh put bids in for all 3 players, jt, fl, and that little money grabbing fucker ac.. seems odd he was waiting to see if they were going to stay. wadya reckon?
i think , from bein very interested in city thiss yar so i know whats happen, that chelsea althou owned by the richest cash money man in the world seem to be falling apart from the inside. . . its amazing and i think agents know this so there players wont listen to them
terry seemed to be heading but he got pulled bak in, i think he was promised a job for life thing at chelsea just so they could save face
it is highly highly interesting and city should take note
A.I.G.
i used to be on this blog as a man united fan , then an irish man united fan but for nearly a year now ive had this name and its simply because
stevie me and john terry are everything thats wrong with the english game
part because of the way the act both on and off the pitch but mostly by the way they are allowed away with it by there clubs and the media because they are painted in a certain light while the abu of the media never give credit to manchester united apart from the day after they win a title when they split a page 2 and write sir alex ferguson has won this and ryan giggs has won that, but if someone slips up or if there is a rumor that someone at unitd slipped up they rip the team to shreads
i dont have the stats but how many times have chelsea players harrassed a ref on live kids watching tv and got away with it ,mostly lead by sir john of terry , but if the media repot it they forever show or write about manchester united doing that once, ONCE, and they focas on keanes vain in his head blah blah . happened once never happened adgain as was stated straight after the match by alex ferguson so said how outraged he was at his own team and it will never happen again. but do they ever give united credit for it ,no , they way drogba acted after the champions league final was reported by the media as a “fuckin disgrace” and something had to happen at chelsea till terry came out and said he agreed with drogba and understood everything he did. then it was forgotten about because tiny tears had spokin. and dont get me started on stevie me
happens all the time at all clubs including Utd.
Look at Keanes transfer situation.
Terry never made comment, he didnt have to, why should he?
Why should we even give Terrys situation a mention on a Utd site?
Tufty – why not? Considering we have plenty of players we consider to be loyal, given all the lads we’ve had come through the youth team, I think it’s interesting to look at how much of an effect money has on loyalty.
Depends – Ronnie’s behaviour was tolerated until it was impossible to move further… So it depends on the importance of the player.. Has happened at our club many times..
Its sign of the times
Well to be fair, I’d rather a player didn’t say anything for a while and in the end stayed than repeatedly promise that he would stay and then run off to Madrid a couple of weeks later, but that’s just me…
ghtt
gotta completely agree wid u mate
had it been wazza instead of stevie me he wud have got life imprisonment
similarly had it been evra or a united player instead of that asshole drogba he wd have got atleast a 10 match ban.
the press is waiting to write negative piece of shit abt united.always trying to pull us down.
but we are united and there is only one Club in England
You always fuck em’ up scott
We dont know what goes on behind the scenes half the time or how close the likes of Giggs have ever come to leaving (Many a fan would have sold him in 2003 as his performances were poor). We dont know what would have happened if they got offered silly money.
Terry might have looked as his move being good for Chelsea, given the reported fee offered by City and his age. Making comments in the media is not a good game to play.
i think majority of european players arent honest and i dont blame them.
many players would want new challenges, many bcose of their dream to play for a club like in the case of ronaldos, and most for money . i think terry would want to go to city for money.
Tufty – that’s exactly the point, thank you. Money has become such an important factor you just don’t know what would have happened to the man who now played more games for United than any other player had a massive bid come in.
Money has become so important that players like Beckham and Terry could think twice about leaving a club they claim to be a fan of.
Moneys always been important, its just at another level now.
Some players demand to be the highest paid at their clubs as its an ego trip.
anelka:united wont win the title cuz of ron
When cantona left:United CAN’t win the title cuz of cantona
When becks left:United cant win the title cuz of becks
Pffttt
To be honest, I only came on here to read gottahatetinytears views.
I wish he had signed for City just for the rant from ghtt !
I love how well he hates John Terry – and I could not say any better what he says about the Chelsea rent boys chief cock-guzzler.
Over to you gottahatetinytears mate.
he didnt have to say anythin, the media made a big fuss over it when anyone who has a clue knew he wouldnt be going to city of all clubs.. simple thing is, john terry didnt have to come out and say hes staying when it was the tabloids and city that started it all off,
@ Aig, at united a player would be kicked out? ronaldo for the past year, nuff said
“I’ve never said that I’d never move away from Manchester, and I’ve never said that I’d end my career there,” The telegraph? normal paper bs anyway good post, good move by terry to stay.
I too used to be a big fan of JT. I liked his grit and determination, along with his british bulldog spirit. But i must say who the hell does he think he is these days?! If i were a Chelsea fan i would be so annoyed with him, i mean why does he always have to speak to the owner and make sure big name signing are on thier way. Just shut up and play football. Thank god no United players are so big-headed!
chris20legend.i meant to say that a player at united has to show total commitment in action and words.remember mhen vida was linked with move away frm utd within 30mns he told the website he nvr said that.if such a thing happens at our club fergie wil tel the player to immeditely clear te matter.no player is bigger than utd whoever it maybe.ronaldo was an exception.dunno why!!
@ aig alex is god
I wouldn’t be so sure about that.. there already is a bit of speculation surrounding Vida. I don’t take anyone’s loyalty for granted. There is no reason as such why someone like Vida or anyone else should be loyal if someone else is willing to pay them more. It’s a short career and a player will look to make the most of it.
Everyone works for money..No big deal..but what matters is loyalty..and you can tell by the behaviour of a person whether he is loyal or not..
CR was not loyal..FACT..
Sir Ryan Giggs was not Loyal..Fiction..
Terry is an asshole..FACT…
R.E.S.T.E.C.P
So all i am asking you guys is to show a little bit of restecp when you guys talk about giggsy…
@gottahate tinytears
New Season New Name mate ?
Now I know you hate that Scouse thug Stevie “I only battered him out of selfdefense” Gerrard (and I cannot believe those Jurors were thick enough to believe that) perhaps you should change from JT hating to some Stevie G hating namecheck.
It would be a good idea for the other reds on the forum to come up with a name for you or even you could come up with your own top three and put it to the vote.
What do you reckon mate – Gottahatetinytears or StevieGwhyishefree?
stevie gbh?
i try not talk about stvie me that much
im not lying thinking about him makes me angry
@don – my spelling is not great mate but RESPECT (especially if you go to the trouble to actually spell it out. R.E.S.T.E.C.P
LOL. Come on Fella – we are not City fans now are we !
Unless I am missing something in which case I am a twta.
John Terry, like every footballer ON THE PLANET is a fucking LIAR. Every footballer (since the invention of SUPER AGENTS whose focus is to make themselves millionaires by moving their players on every other year or two) are accomplished at saying the right thing to further their own purposes. I don’t care what club they play for, even our own Beloved Man United. What we used to value about loyalty to clubs in Britain, has always had the brown paper bag merchants, doing deals under the table lol. It is just that foreigners make no bones about it, and move to the highest bidder. So its accepted now, as you can tell by every ex pro in media and radio/TV programmes saying that loyalty shouldn’t come into it, when opportunities arise that are too good to miss. For the past few years, it has been the old cliche “my present club doesn’t meet my ambitions.” Lately it “is my present club don’t RESPECT me.” We’ll NEVER get footballers who are often the most BASE and immoral creatures on earth admitting the real truth – they would catch too much ABUSE from the fans. So they LIE and gullible fans believe their lies.
City fans talking that Fergie is cracking up – hahahahahahahahahahaha – another LIE. The only reason Mark Hughes is NOT responding to SAF has nothing to do with composure, more to do with he knows Fergie the Man and he knows he will never win a fight with him. Also he is still a RED at heart, although he can’t admit that to the deluded blues, and tell me like Mourinho that he doesn’t have designs on the top job at Man United post SAF.
Man United fans – out little appreciated BERABATOV is a ONE OFF, he refused the money at City, because he really wanted to wear the Red shirt. There are few such players in modern day football, but SAF should find them, and sign them up.
Craig, how is it going mate?, long time no speak! great post also pal agree in that 100%
isaidso
i could name a few players united r not that arent liers
i could also name you some players at manchester united who dont even have agents
I always thought Terry was the least cuntish out of the English players at other “big” clubs. Now I’m not so sure…..
Ryan giggs, paul scholes and gary neville are a diying breed, you wont see this kind of loyalty ever again, not with the way modern footballers seem to be obsessed with money.
@READ CAREFULLY WHAT I SAID – I think you might try growing up mate! Don’t know what your beef is with Tiny Tears, but take it off blog eh, instead of boring the fuck out of the rest of us.
‘Stephen – things are going good mate! You got hitched yet then?
@gotta hate tiny tears – hahahaha – I hear ya mate. Perhaps IF the ones you name don’t have AGENTS, then that’s why they don’t have to become accomplished LIARS.
Scott the Red sorry but this is an article is abysmal you should not have written it. Let’s look at terry for starters you can’t blame the guy for reconsidering his future. He looks at man city he is thinking they have a stable structure in place a young manager and they are signing big players. He sees Chelsea players looking at their future they are getting older and wanting to leave, Chelsea are chopping and changing managers and he is thinking should I move on is this team a spent force. Gerrard you cannot lame is well he was thinking where Liverpool going long term is and maybe he thought I can’t take this club any further get them a heavy pay check and they can rebuild the team.
Now your article is so ironic we have let players do this like a certain cristiano ronaldo who had been engineering a move to real Madrid since 2006. You saw his behaviour last summer the way he completely took away the enjoyment of our summer last year. At least terry has come out now and killed off the speculation. Also do not forget we have benefited from players causing chaos to engineer a move to united I just think your article is too ironic to be even seen on your site scott.
Next year mate all good!!
oshea giggs the 2 nevs and scholes dont have agents as far as im aware
@ManUnitedChampions2008 – I was following your comments until the sentence that said “Man City are signing BIG players.” I presume you mean big in size and length, and NOT BIG as in great players? I admit they went for BIG players Kaka, Eto’o, Puyol, Villa, Torres etc etc etc, but they all said NO WAY!
@willierednut
It’s a shame they are really, they’re from a different era.
@ghtt
I thought footballers had to have agents?
@gotta hate tiny tears, I think you’ll find they do have agents mate, but not of the pocket lining, all out for themselves Super Agent ilk.
not agent agents
just like solicitors
Ronnie, after 2 below par performances for Real M, and fans non plussed with him, has come back with “performance is not really what is important” – errrr WHAT? I wonder if the other Galacticos, are not so pliable to feeding the Ronnie ego as his United colleagues were! Just a thought.
Isaidso for man citys size to them they are big players.
@Isaidso
All of their new signings have been dire! It’s pleased me greatly.
Whilst* the post and the counter-comments make for very interesting reading indeed, I cant help escape the fact that this whole JT situation is quite bloated and does not warrant a long scathing post here. Shouldn’t the focus be more on stuff that affects us? Not being a pussy pacifist but come on, who gives a fuck whether these shitheads live or die eh?! We go marching on.
*And no offence mate but you did overuse ‘whilst’ a lot in this post
tony starks. thats the problem with the game today.earlier there were many loyal players bt bcoz of clubs like shitty respect is dwindling towards your parent club.the only player i hve cmplte faith is wazza(i mean the players under 30)
off topic but ive said this before
get tevez off the adds on mutv
now they have a fuckin tribute show to him on
come on mutv
sort it out
on gerrard being a disgrace for hitting that person cantona was lucky he did not go to jail for attacking the palace fan mind
Good article Scott. I think this was a real test of citeh’s spending power and potential appeal to so-called star players. I don’t particularly rate Terry but I think he would have vastly improved citeh by giving them some leadership on the pitch.
Whether we like it or not, little ole citeh will be a threat over the next few years. Maybe not next season but can’t you just picture an arrogant mourinho being tempted by the challenge (and $$$$s) of taking citeh to the top?
@GHTT
I was thinking the exact same thing a couple of days ago, the same goes for Ronaldo really.
manutdchampions2008 or micheal or whatever
cantona kicked a holigan went to court and was found guilty had to pay a large fine which went to charity and did community service because the judge found that it served cantona better to teach youths in manchester football that to do anytime. which when you think about it it does.
@ISAIDSO
WTF ? I aint got no beef – Perhaps it means exactly what it says not what you think it says – Got a bit of a crush on someone have ya?
I dont know what you think you read but perhaps you could let me know what your problem with me is?
@ghtt – I hope you didnt find any offense in me having laugh about stevie G?
I aint got any problem with anyone on this forum and only ever come here to be amongst fellow Reds and enjoy the craic.
@Isaidso seems to be creating battles with people on your behalf that really arent there in the first place mate. You certainly sound like the sort of geezer who can fight his own battles when in fact there is one to be fought in the first place.
Yours is one of the first rants I always look for on here and especially when it is about JT.
PS – I think your Emily is a star aswell fella !
gotta hate tiny tears maybe but if that was a normal person who attacked that palace fan he would be in jail for a month or 2. coaching I think was one of cantonas strengths most judges send ppl down for their misery not their enjoyment.
@READ CAREFULLY WHAT I
run that little rat into the grond as much as i care buddy
it wasnt for his enjoyment
its because the guy is eric fuckin cantona and whats better for a judge of manchester to do with him. put the guy behind bars to wash clothes or train kids to keep them off the streets get them into an activity and maybe a path on life
if stevie gbh was found guilty he should of been suspended by his club and made do the same thing
READ CAREFULLY WHAT I
and nice one aswell for your words about emily
i have no problem with you brother and the only thing i have grips about is your user name is funnier and smarter than mine:)
Isaidso – How is READ WHAT I SAID having a go at tiny tears mate? Have I missed summat?
gotta hate etc – Talking of MUTV has anyone heard that “Edna” phone in? Quality.
@GHTT – Cheers mate
Fuck knows what he was on about – I think he likes to find drama where there is none. Glad to know I had not inadvertently caused any offense, and certainly not to one of the better commentators on this brilliant forum.
COME ON YOU REDS!
@GHTT – My old user name was Red Rojo Rot rouge but had to get rid of anything with the spanish in it cos of Tevez and his incessant whingeing.
New season new name. Same old Champions !!
not really the same champions
no more “miserable players “
READ CAREFULLY WHAT I SAID – i thought you were probably RED ROJO etc!. same style of writing and the only poster whose name is in capitals.
John Terry is the most despicable and over rated player in world, as stated by ghtt. My username is dedicated to his cuntyness.
@King Eric
The psychoanalysts in the secure unit diagnosed an inflated ego and disproportionate sense of self importance hence the capital letters mate !
I am the way God made me and who am I to criticise his work.We all know Alex doesnt take criticism afterall.
@ghtt – Yeah, no more moaners this year – a bit like Daz washing powder – every year we are new and improved and getting rid of the toughest shit stains like Liverpool and Shitty. Haha.
He did after all create your namesake and for that
and for that…… we are all eternally in his debt.
Thanks for another great article Scott.
I was called “a moron” on a recent post for saying that Beckham went for the money. I was told that I was a victim of the media.
How wrong people can be. It’s the media that kept everyone on Beckham’s side and I’m frankly disgusted that Man U fans can support this guy after he turned his back on MAN UNITED for money. Where are these fans at?
As I said in my previous post – loved him when he played for us, but fuck him!
Good article Scott, completely spot on
Anyone heard from Suhayl…or has he changed his name an’ all ??
Oh by the way….John Terry is a cunt… end of…..!!
@readcarefullywhatIsaid, and @King Eric – whoops embarrased muchly – I did think you were saying something other than you were saying, so apologies from me. Did Tinytears change his name to I hate Tiny tears, because I thought people you were saying you hated Tiny tears LOL. I am new to the blog, and it is so often frequented by alien visitors from Man Pity, Liverpoo, etc etc, so I don’t know whose who – sorry guys No Offence meant – OK? I know who you are though King Eric from RedRants!
Isaidso – No problems mate. His user name is “gotta hate tiny tears” so I can see what you mean. I don’t go on RedRants very often and have never posted under this name, must be a different one.
And for whoever asked about R.E.S.T.E.C.P.,that’s how Ali G,Sacha Baron Cohen’s earliest character,spells respect.
It is amazing how much this blog goes on caring about other clubs buisness.
I like this blog, i don´t even support United, but sometimes it is just over the top with all this spitting at other clubs respectivly players.
Questions like “Would´ve United done this and that” don´t have to turn up to that moment until United is an a situation like that.
Take care about the behaviour of your own players, like Rio, Ronney and your so loved explayers like C-ron and Tevez.
You don´t have to like Terry because he´s Chelsea and all but really, for the sake of your United-biased journalism – step a bit back.
Blur – clearly you didn’t read the article otherwise you would know I mentioned and criticised our own players… Rio, Ronaldo, Beckham.
An interesting piece. However loyalty and respect works 2 ways and clubs often show little to players. Having worked your way through the ranks and seen friends disgarded or injured and dumped it must surely focus your mind that your time in the game is short and you have to make the most of it both from a financial and professional point of view.Utd have been in a position to benefit from this for a long period of time being able to satisfy both demands but despite any badge kissing or declarations of effection for your club or any club for most players its cash and silverware in that order and when either dry up they would not look back twice. This is the price of a global premier league. Local players with real allegiances destined to face the fans they play for post retirement are rare and perhaps the Scholes,Giggs and Nevilles are the last of the old breed of player. Terry has let Chelsea fans down inall of this but probably regards it as a result if its increased his wage by £20k a week.
