how did a post about Lingard make you think about George Best ? Lol :)

Perhaps a reminder of what a small minded set of cunts the rag management are in their dealings with players ?

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'.?

How much do the rags want for that, £20 million?

£65m if they stay up.

Everton will be getting an 80m pound player, the best midfielder in Europe, bought by the red mardarses for a knock down 40m, for free for 6 months.
Take it away Billy Bullshit...

That lad talked some shit, I bet he could erase that tubthumping advert for the rags if he could.

 

[SWPISHOME]

So the Rags are sending out players on loan which cost the likes of Martial £50m, Van De Beek £40m and Diallo £37m...Not a word being said about it.

Imagine if we were sending out players loan that we bought for £50m! The media would have us hung out to dry along with Sky, BT ect

Shit Rag bastards.
