What is all this shyte I'm reading again?
Phil Thompson has got a big nose. We sung "sit down Big Nose" at him when he was standing in for Gerard Houllier a few years back, as did most opposing team's fans. The only thing Phil Thompson has really done that pisses me off, is the manner in which he conducts himself on Soccer Saturday. If Liverpool Football Club had a collective cock, you wouldn't be able to see it. However, we know where it would be located - banging against Phil Thompson's tonsils.
Harry Redknapp - where to start.
It's not the tax evasion.
It's not the dodgy dealings, and the suspicions that have followed him throughout his managerial career.
It's not even the fact that his face looks like a melted candle - I worked with a guy for years who looked exactly like Redknapp (in the melted candle face aspect) who was a spot on, top bloke. And a hardened Bluenose. His face was never subjected to banter.
We don't care about the reasons he looks like this, the same way nobody really cares about how Heather McCartney got her peg leg. Or Jeremy Beadle had a small hand. Or the way Jeremy Clarkson calls Richard Hammond a hamster.
It's not EVEN the fact he has only ever won one cup, in what one would see Spurs fans advertise as a glittering career. He is a nobody, who has no proven record.
It's down mainly to three things.
1. Every club Harry Redknapp has managed, he has pretty much destroyed financially. Every one, up until now. His wheeling and dealing in purchasing Crouch from Portsmouth, a club in deep financial faecal matter, was just testament to what a ruthless cockmaster he is, and how he didn't give a flying **** for the club he was regarded a legend at. Bournemouth, West Ham, Southampton and Portsmouth were all financially fookered after he left. Portsmouth, it seems, are not likely to survive as a result. The bent **** can't even pay his taxes properly...
2. He is constantly and inexplicably omnipresent in the media, and constantly flaunts the regulations set by FIFA/The FA by talking about players contracted to other clubs than that he is managing - and tapping players up. He should have been disciplined/punished countless times over (as should SAF) but nothing ever happens.
3. His comments about Aston Villa and the fans over the last three or four seasons. Research it. Any manager for an opposing club is going to get shit for saying what he has said.
So, when a club's fans have a reason to dislike a person for a number of reasons, some of which made personal by that manager, you can't come here as a fan of another team and expect us to stand in an orderly line, waiting to drop to our knees to perform noshy noshy on him. If you want to do just that, please don't expect us not to take the piss as his balls are banging against your chin.
He is not and never going to be a popular person around here - and that is a fact you are going to have to live with.
As for your 'NR' comment, you may get a lot of those against a lot of your posts on here...
