Footballers Are Idiots

Last Thursday’s transfer deadline day was dominated by the high profile, if not highly dubious transfer of Argentine duo Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano from Corinthians to West Ham United.

The exact terms of the transfer are unknown, which makes it all the more intriguing. Speculation if rife with one theory suggesting Roman Abramovich is involved in the deal somewhere along the line and the duo are to get a season’s Premiership experience before moving on to Chelsea.

If the pair honestly had their pick of the top clubs in Europe and beyond to choose from, then why on earth would Upton Park be their move of choice. It’s simple if you believe that Maschareno cites Anton Ferdinand as one of his main reasons to play in the claret and blue, as he is player who is talked about all over Argentina, apparently.

Come off it, what do you take us for? Idiots?

Leyton Orient defender David Partridge was sentenced to two months in prison following a brawl at a night club last October.

Partridge, then at Bristol City, was thrown out of a club in the city and was said to have ”lost control” and charged at the doormen. He became embroiled in a fight and team mates Steve Brooker, Scott Brown and Bradley Orr (making his second appearance on this website) became involved.

Partridge received the longest sentence and was ordered to pay £1,000 to the doorman while Orr and Brooker face 28 days in the clink. Brown got off lightly in comparison and must carry out 120 hours community service. Idiots.

Why do England footballer’s always play themselves up a few months after failing miserably yet again at a major tournament? Why do they do it before playing a useless minnow side they have no chance of losing against (OK, apart from Northern Ireland)?

And why do they try to sound all the more convincing when there’s almost two years to go before they stuff it up again on the World stage?

Just hours before England play a “massive” Euro 2008 qualifier against the giants of Andorra, World Cup flop Frank Lampard has claimed he will not “shirk responsibility” as England’s penalty taker because he is “big enough”.

But enough about Frank’s wasitline. England footballer’s are all talk. They profess to be the best in the world but ultimately bottle it when it really matters.

A friendly 4-0 win against Greece followed by a likely thumping of little Andorra will duly see them as “world beaters” yet again and the usual “bring on Euro 2008″ garbage will follow soon after. Idiots.

Promising Reading striker Leroy Lita is doing his best to ruin a great start to his season by getting himself arrested on suspicion of grevious bodily harm.

Lita, who scored the winning goal against Middlesbrough on the opening day of the season, was questioned by police in Bristol after allegedly headbutting a man during a night out.

Lita has been accused of leaving his victim with a black eye. I thought given the player’s diminutive stature, a kick in the nuts would have been the best he could manage.

Permanently injured defender Jon Woodgate has returned to the Premiership by joining Middlesbrough on a season long loan from Real Madrid, with the option of making the deal permanent.

The former Newcastle United centre back, cruelly nicknamed Village by his team mates due to astounding brain power, made just 14 appearances in Spain since his £13.4 million arrival in 2004 and memorably marked his debut by scoring an own goal.

Manager Gareth Southgate has such confidence in Woodgate being a success at the Riverside Stadium, he also went and snapped up Chelsea defender Robert Huth. You know, just in case.

I knew it would be a great idea to set up this website and it didn’t take long for the first idiot entry to be logged.

Congratulations to Bristol City’s Bradley Orr, a former Newcastle United reject, who has the dubious honour of christening this website. He tried to follow in the footsteps of another former Magpies moron, Lee Bowyer, by attacking one of his own players on the field.

Orr appeared to aim a headbutt at team mate Louis Carey to earn himself a red card at half time in the League One clash at Northampton Town. Amazingly, the Robins managed to win the match 3-1 even with a man short.

John Gorman’s side should be appalled. Can’t even beat a team with an extra man, despite going 1-0 up in the first place? Idiots.
