The W***er! Thread: What Footballer Do You Hate?
-
09-02-2008 2:06pm#1On the advice of Homerjay2005 and courtesy of Joey Bartons showing in the first half Vs Villa today, I did a search on hated footballers threads and the last one was in 2004. So I think its time for an update
Well, goes without saying who I think is; Joey Barton is the winner alright ladies & gentlemen. He's been in prison, stubbed a cigarette out on a fellow players eye, various GBH "tackles", held his club for ransom and then wanted out.... He's just a general thug.
From my own club; Emmaunuel Eboue. His playacting and diving is shameful. Ship him out AW!
*WARNING*
Lads, is it too much to ask that this thread be reasonably debated and not turn into a trollfest with xxx is such a xxx type replies. Similarily, I'd expect a certain level of construction in the replies - i.e. Don't just say player xxxx is a scumbag. Give a reason for it!0

Yes Can't see this thread having a very long life!
But while it's open, it is hard to argue with Barton. Also, not really talking about a player in particular, but when I see players sucking their thumb after scoring it makes me want to throw things at them.0 -

Hate is a strong word, id rather use dislike
Quite the opposite. In a lot of cases, hate is just not strong enough. Take Cashley Cole for example, I really don't have the necessary vocabulary to describe what I think of him. Now whether that reflects on my vocabulary or Cashley Cole, I'll let you decide.

I fail to understand how people can "hate" somone they never met, and infact dont know.
Judging people from information gathered by reading the red tops is wrong...
.. that said Mick McCarty is a wan**r because he insulted my mother a few years ago.
So Muslim extremists have no reason to hate George Bush and America and vice versa? Because of course, they've never met each other and are only judging each other from information gathered by reading the red tops....
Sadly for you snyper, this simply ain't the case
Edit: I realise my example is on the extreme side, but imo, it's still relevant.0 -

Full back.
He isn't a mercenary though. Bogarde on the other hand...
Bogarde was a legend, 40k a week for doing nothing? is it true he didnt live in London and he just commuted a few days a week from Amsterdam instead?
Having wikipedia'd him i see he had an autobiography called "Deze Neger Buigt Voor Niemand (This Negro Bows for No One)", and that between 1997-2004 he made less then 60 appearances for Milan, Barcelona and Chelsea combined.
Also (again from wikipedia):
The World Cup 1998 was also where Bogarde was viewed as a dissident to the Dutch team morale, as after the 2nd round match against Yugoslavia Bogarde was seen forcibly pushing his fellow white teammates, Van der Sar and Numan, aside even though they were trying to celebrate Edgar Davids' winning goal.
In the 1999/2000 UEFA Champions League group match against AIK in Stockholm he was humiliated by being substituted after only 20 minutes of play after almost picking up a red card at the hands of the opposing strike force.
His career at Chelsea is notable because, only weeks after signing his contract with the club, the newly-appointed manager Claudio Ranieri wanted him to leave. According to Bogarde it would be next to impossible to find a team that would offer him a contract comparable to the one he had at Chelsea with reference to his biography Deze Neger Buigt Voor Niemand (This Negro Bows for No One), he was astounded at the salary Chelsea had agreed on since it is a fact that his value has depreciated severely due to lack of first-team action. Bogarde decided to stay at Chelsea honouring his contract to the letter (as he could not get a similar salary anwhere else), as a result Bogarde played only sparingly for Chelsea again. In the end, he only appeared eleven times during his four-year contract, reportedly earning £40,000 a week during this period. Worse still, Chelsea won a domestic trophy during this period triggering a bonus payment in agreement with his contract, despite Bogarde not featuring at all for Chelsea that season. His contract ended in 2004.
During his period at Chelsea, they repeated tried to offload him because of his inflated wages. When there were no takers, Chelsea demoted him to their reserves and youth team in an effort to force Bogarde to leave. However, he stuck to his contract, turning up every day and attending whatever training he was assigned to. Bogarde claims to have been placed in suspiciously compromising situations involving drugs (Similar to what happened with Chelsea players Mark Bosnich and Adrian Mutu), soon after he refused to leave Chelsea or sign a new contract for a reduced wage. all Bogarde continued to stick to the letter his contract and working every day with the Chelsea reserves, while increasingly becoming a figure of ridicule in the English press for his alleged selfishness.
what a nice guy!0 -
