I think that's as close of a comparison to us mere mortals as one could imagine. When my old boss sold the company for X million he had to stay on for a few years to qualify for bonuses maintaining turnover for the new owners. He bought himself a top of the range Bentley and always used to borrow a car off one of the account executives when visiting clients so they didn't see the outcome of their fees As soon as his earn out period and restrictive covenant was up of course he started up again and stole half the clients back the old miser.

icouldtelltheworld Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I honestly wouldn't recognise a Rolls Royce if one drove past me, couldn't begin to describe what one looks like. Total non-story, the lad has been earning millions of pounds a year for the past decade, he's not going to drive a Fiat Punto is he? Still a washed up busted flush waste of money, mind. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's shit I love it when I see him on a teamsheet. I've never seen him put in anything other than a dismal performance against us. Probably my number 1 favourite player to play against. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you've been shit for years, a bit more humility might be better. Although most footballers aren't known for that!

We only seem to score against Everton when he’s on the pitch, even in the 3-0 earlier this season we scored all the goals within minutes of him coming on IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who doesn’t know what a Rolls Royce looks like?! Surely one of the most iconic cars of all time, perhaps less so if not British though I guess.

Like I said, the particular make and model of very expensive car which Dele Alli drives is a total non-story for anyone other than those deliberately trying to make it into one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
