According the Soccernet.com, it seems that Newcastle winger, Charlies N’ Zogbia, who just for all those trivia fanatics is actually the cousin of French tennis star Jo-Wilfred Tsonga (the current World number 7 i think..), said he would never play for his manager, Joe Kinnear again because he forgot his name while giving a press conference after Newcastle’s defeat (what’s new?) to Manchester City. Oh the horror! I wonder what must be going through his tender little heart…Well we do have alot of princesses in our ranks these days don’t we? Another prime example on how pathetic some elite sportsman are…You are not exactly the best player in the world mate…and you don’t save lives…so just be abit more humble and get on with it.
My interest in watching the English Premier League is already at an all time low. After reading several books on the lifestyles of most of these guys and seeing their pathetic behaviours on and off the field. Is there really a point in giving much heart and soul supporting most of these guys? Of course not all footballers are like that. For example, we have Kaka as a shining example but it’s all those washouts in the game that need to be kicked out. We have people like Joey Barton, who stubbed a cigarette in a youth player’s eye, was in jail for assaulting Ousmane Dabo, a former team mate where he left him with head injuries including a suspected detached retina….And the worst part of the whole story..He’s still playing! Like as if he did nothing wrong! Ban him? Why ban the prick? You see..there is simply no morality in the authorities as well. You should just sack him!
The problem with the game and sport in general is that people blindingly support their team and players without even considering whether he is right or wrong. Sports fans are continuously in their own fanatical bubble, unable to discern the correct and the incorrect. We always just try to justify one of our heroes. Such hero worship is useless. These guys may be talented but they are just men like everyone else. Everybody has issues…and so do they. Being a sports star doesn’t exempt them from doing wrong. The familiar excuses are always “We need him to play cause he’s the heart and soul of the team”, ”He’s passionate about the games so he got upset”. What a load of rubbish. People seem to give Wayne Rooney the benefit of the doubt everytime he goes berserk and starts mouthing off his verbal crap at the referees. Is that the way you want your kids or your friends to behave? As a Manchester United fan, I’d be the first to say that that boy needs to go for inner healing and anger management classes. Should he be banned? Of course he should! These so-called role models are currently an absolute disgrace and a bad example to kids watching the game. Of course needless to say, he’s not the only one….There are just too many bad examples in the game at the moment….. Next up..the aussie open…
