Kyle Walker for his lockdown shenanigans and brazen nonchalant wife cheating is the obvious runaway winner. Worse than Jorn Terreh.

I'm sure any/all of them could be the nicest blokes you've ever met, but based purely on on-pitch stuff and how they come across from a distance:

Ashley Barnes: Seems to spend all game every game stood on the halfway line waiting to feel a defender behind him so he can chuck himself on the floor.
Harry Kane: Ashley Barnes with more ability.
Gabriel Jesus: One of the most punchable faces I've ever seen.
Jack Grealish: Seems like a self-absorbed wanker, but so did the likes of Cantona and Beckham in their own way so I won't care if he ends up at United and shows half the ability of either of that pair. :lol:

Grealish is a big enough wanker that I'm reluctant to the idea of him playing for us despite his obvious quality.

Lingard is an immature man-child. Shite on the field, shite off it. There were posters here saying he seemed like a good lad, most likely to balance out the scathing criticism of his performance. They were wrong. He's a total dick.

It's a bit hard to distance his personality from his performances (or the lack of those), as I doubt that any United fan still wants him around. But yeah, I'd at least put him in the extremely annoying category — and aside from his United affiliations I doubt that you can find any positives in his figure, and those don't count for a neutral anyway.

I tried to make a team of players I despise from the P.L-era - need help with 2 defenders - anyone who belong in this team ?

1. Jens Lehmann - a big whiner - and his take on gay players perhaps isn't quite politically correct

2.
3.
4. Martin Keown - look up the missing link and you are likely to find a picture of Keown
5. John Terry - I just couldn't stand the guy as much as I admired him as a footballer. Anton Ferdinand and Wayne Bridge says it all

6. Lee Bowyer - fought with his own players, racist in his sparetime and 2nd most yellow cards in P.L-history. I rest my case.
7. Paul Ince - probably the only player in P.L-history who is generally disliked by all fans both as a player and a pundit.
8. Fredrik Ljungberg - the biggest whiner ever. If he was tackled he whined, if he tackled someone he whined

9. Diego Costa - a brilliant goalscorer anda despicable human being. Says it all really.
10. Luis Suarez - a brilliant player when he wasn't being racist or biting someone.
11. Craig Bellamy - appears braindead - complained about everything. Dont give him any golfclubs

Sebastian Larsson has the exact same antics Ljungberg had.

Chelsea (the saviours of football) fan.
Look up his attack on Callum Davidson.
The man's a coward.
I know what he did. He's a massive cnut. A coward would not have done that at all.

I think you may have a different understand of the word.


"coward
noun
a person who is contemptibly lacking in the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things."

Dennis did a million dangerous and/or unpleasant things.

He attacked a teammate whilst he was sleeping.
That's the act of a coward. Dress it up how you like.

So lacking the courage to face a waking man but rather wait until he's sleeping before breaking his jaw doesn't count as cowardice?
Righto.
Dennis has attacked loads of people, sleeping or otherwise. He's a lunatic, not a coward.

A coward wouldn't be punching anyone.

I see people missusing that word a lot when it comes to dirty tackles as well, I guess to insult the offending player, as if being a dirty, snide cnut wasn't enough.

Hojbjerg and Reguilon, it tells you a lot about Mourinho he bought those two players in the same window.

Not entirely serious with the Mourinho Jibe.

Used to be a few Everton players I disliked. Cahill, Coleman and especially Besic.

Nowadays it’s Robertson and McTominay.

Wins hands down for me, a proper horrible individual, at least with the likes of Barton you could just see he had a temper. Diouf was just a vile individual.

The Zlatan incident was obviously deliberate, but the Reading one was clearly an accident. Football fans are so weird, always trying to see patterns in everything. He has a reputation of being a nice guy because off the pitch he genuinely is. Try listening to him speak. One of the most thoughtful and humble players in the league.
Agree to disagree. I've seen the replay of what he did to the lad against Reading, looked as deliberate as the Zlatan incident. He looked down as he did it in the same way.

I'm sure he's nice and humble Infront of a camera, a lot of footballers are. But nice guys don't stand on the heads of two opponents.
