Fair enough, his dad is a twat but it isn't Shaun that went shouting his mouth off to the press, it was that gobby prick.
Just to put you in your place, yes shaun did go mouthing off to the press, there was a full page spread on him with his quotes in the sun. If a player isnt good enough he aint good enough, and thats the reality of it.
Well I missed that one but well done you've put me in my place, give yourself a pat on the back.
It seems to me that there is a bit of a public flogging going on here. I remember where Shaun has come from. Yes he did fuck off to Chelsea but I believe he has a genuine affection for the club and the supporters did until recently have an affection for him. He is wrong to go to the press, but he probably sees himself as a senior player and he sees the likes of Bridge and RSC on twice as much as him. I am not a footballer so I don't know how they think, but it seems to me that he is after something resembling parity (still less than Bridges 100k a week) - that seems to be the only logic behind it as he was happy to take a pay cut when coming back from Chelsea. Still wrong, yes.. but because he has a bad game or is having a bad season or he is in the side (which gets rotated if I am not wrong) in place of Johnson he should not be fucking taken apart by people. Even if he is not good enough to keep his place in the new top four chasing City squad, he has been associated with the club since he was 14 and I for one won't be after burning him at the stake for chasing a new contract (even if it is wrong). Even if Shaun has gone to the press the only reason the whole story has received so much publicity is because of his absolute tit of a father mouthing off about it and making the situation ten times worse (creating a bit of hysteria at him having a bad game today in the process).
