I see the rags are stopping Lingard from going on loan and over pricing him, because they’re scared he’ll do well like he did at West Ham.

Wankers if true, I can’t believe they’d deny someone who wants to play a chance to play. Selfish rag cunts.

Didnt the rags do everything they could to stop George Best playing elsewhere when he wanted out ?
 
Talking about Best, I didn't know until last week that he'd 'Butchered' another player.


Tellingly, Harkouk's most vivid memory of his Palace career is not one of the many highs but the low of seeing team-mate Ian Evans suffer a broken leg against Fulham. In part, that's because of the identity of the culprit, the Manchester United legend Best. Palace supporters of a certain vintage still recall Harkouk's extraordinary reaction to the challenge.

"It was a karate kick," says Harkouk. "He came in sideways about a foot off the ground and practically snapped his leg clean off. The reason why it is so vivid in my memory is that when I looked down at Ian Evans' foot, it was in his crotch, that's how bad the tackle was. George just looked down with no emotions whatsoever. When I saw that, I just flew for him."

Best was just one of a long line of deeply unpleasant individuals who got away with all sorts of stuff on and off the pitch because of the way they were treated by the media who bigged him up as if he was one of the pop stars of that time. El Beatle my arse.
Despite his drinking, wasting livers that could have gone to more deserving cases, the way he treated women, nasty career ending fouls on Glyn Pardoe and the guy you mention the press revered him although Matt Busby was often unhappy with his lack of professionalisation. Not long after he died Granada devoted most of an evenings programme to praising him with the TV screens all edged on red. It was like Russia when one of the Soviet leaders died.
Can you imagine someone praising a piss arsed
wife beater and excusing him by saying he was 'a bloody good plumber/bus driver/brickie/fireman (or even solicitor) though'.?
