drink driving, piss head but still loved the club and definitely wouldn't have been at a gp on our last game (the pub maybe:)).
Cesc is not squeeky clean, he hawked himself around last season which is not exactly an endearing character either.
I personally don't give a fuck if they're shagging their own mum as long as they give they're fucking all on the pitch which I don't think cesc did this year even taking into consideration his injuries etc.
But when he goes we have to get an equally good replacement cos we do miss his guile when fit and firing on all cylinders.
Well exactly. If I was holding Adams up as a captain of morality it would only be from a certain point in his career post rehab when he literally was a shining light. Pre that point yeah probably wouldn’t be someone I’d hold forth as an example of how you should be. Although being sent to jail for crashing into a wall is fucking harsh and I doubt it would happen today.
I’m not defending Fabregas as our captain merely pointing the other 3 to be as bad if not worse. Although out of the 3 Vidic is the least worst and probably most comparable to Fabregas.
As captain’s I do care a lot about what they do on and off the pitch. I find the position of captain something kind of sacred. Even as a kid when I was captaining my school football team it was something to be proud of and something that a lot of people looked up to you for. Even those not involved in the team.
But saying that I have very little respect for any footballers these days, let alone captains
Fabregas probably didn’t have his best year but after 6 odd years of consistent performances he earned a lot of credit from me. A lot more than anyone else in the team. And I’m more willing to give it to him even if he should have been at Fulham on the weekend. Frankly there are many more pressing concerns I can see need addressing than Fabregas going to a Grand Prix on the last day of the season. As I said before the rest of the team have been AWOL for a good 6 weeks.
We won’t find an equally good replacement. One doesn’t exist within the squad and although there is likely one playing for another team, nothing is going to be done to attempt to sign him.
When Fabregas does go this summer, we’ll be royally fucked and the final game of a season in which fuck all could have been achieved with or without him, is going to mean nothing.
