I think it’s a bit unfair to judge him based on one incident at the age he’s at. Plus it was more his mate. If you were earning £7k a week at his age, away from your parents surrounded by knob heads and had been drinking are you honestly saying you would defiantly wouldn’t of let the money get to your head?

I actually know people who work fairly high up at Norwich and they only ever had good words to say about him. He has also done quite a lot of charitable work that doesn’t get pushed out into the public domain and some that does. Give him some slack.

Tbh practically every player would do something like this at some stage, is being nice (pretty publically) to a dying child a sign of good character rather than treating anyone else you encountered with similar care and respect (even with a few jars down etc.)? Even Joey Barton visited hospices.

Anyway, hope he's shite tomorrow.

The ambiguity of us- still I like to think we should be capable of showing great empathy to others in serious need and not being a prick to others less obviously needy. A boozy night out as a young man is never going to be a template for virtuous behaviour but if he does think his comparative wealth sets him above those that pay his wages, he’s a fuckwit. Mind you, I was puking in people’s handbags at his age so the older me should definitely place the younger me in the dumbfuck category

I would imagine talk of these type of incidents and behaviour had an effect on us signing (or indeed not signing) him. Can’t see anyone with that kind of attitude fitting in to our squad with Poch in charge.

i think the clubs push their players out to hospices and the like in the hope of keeping them a little grounded from their priviledged positions in life. I'm not sure many of them would be there if they weren't forced. I also think that for some, once they have experienced it, it can become a great balancer for them which is fabolous. You only need look at the relationship Jermain Defoe had with Bradley Cooper to see how it works. Unfortunately, for a lot of them though, it's a case of 'once a bellend, always a bellend'.

I’m from a line of Spurs fans, the first things my lads went in were Spurs kits. End up in another team’s kit it will be the last thing they are seen in my house in ?

Supporting us is character building. I’m making them better people! To be fair though with the way we have played since my eldest was born they are liable to get called glory hunters!

Yeah their grandad has brought them some Spurs stuff, I wont. Going to hope they choose us, but got a feeling the oldest one will choose Arsenal or Chelsea just to piss me off. He likes doing that ?

It would be a great idea if someone started a thread for posting things that our opponents fans are saying about us at the moment.

I just wonder what we could call it that wouldn’t be confusing.

Personally not sure Jermain hanging out A-list movie star and multi academy award nominee Bradley Cooper would actually be that grounding

Weird ? :nailbiting:
Almost no very un rawk like thread only a tiny bit patronising and borderline respectful
Are you sure that's not a fake rawk :stop:

There's a small ratio of their support that I've actually found alright. It's about 1:5 max IMO.

Followed my old man in supporting Spurs. My daughter supports us, after going through a phase of supporting Chelsea. My twin boys can support who they want. Never once thrust Spurs onto them. Never will. So if they end up supporting rival teams, so be it. It’d make weekends interesting ?

I'm quite open about who my kids support too. They can choose whoever they want. But they understand one thing, choices have consequences. Support spurs, they can live in my house. Anyone else, it's military school for them.

Arsenal - military school in Kabul
Chelsea - military school in Baghdad
West Ham - military school in South Sudan
Liverpool - military school in Yemen
Anyone else - military school in Saudi Arabia

Spoke to a Man U fan yesterday, he wants us to win it. Said he fkin hates Liverpool and City. Probably true for a lot of them I'd imagine.
He also complimented us on how amazing we're doing considering the injuries we've had.
Think he wanted to bum me actually lol.

I've got a couple of ManU mates who said they'd rather Citeh won it for the next 10 years than Liverpool win it. TBH I dislike their fans that much its a toss up between Gooners winning it and them. If we don't then please let Citeh do it.

This wonderful land of ours has screwed every single one those countries over during my lifetime....in the case of Iraq, several times over. We should be really proud

Aside from being a decent footballer, Maddison is rumoured to be an absolute wanker.

Yup:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...ler-boasted-7k-a-week-salary-friend-attacked/

Fantastic player but anyone whoever met him on a night out at his time at Coventry will tell you the same, he’s a prize bellend. This whole ‘my shoes are worth more than your outfit’ is a popular line of his.

Yep. Encountered him in a queue for a club a couple years ago nd he was an absolute ****. Kept trying to push his way to the front of the huge queue then use the "I'm a footballer" trick to get in in front of everyone else and generally being a loudmouth arrogant prick. To top it off he left his girlfriend in the queue who then had to beg the bouncer for half an hour to get in as it was full and 'Madderz' was the last person they let in.

Was in the Ricoh casino playing blackjack with him and Jacob Murphy who we had on loan at the time. What an utter prick Maddison was to the dealer who was just doing her job. Even Jacob looked embarrassed.

Not remotely surprised. As a manager of a bar in Aberdeen, he was notorious for being trouble on the town. He was banned from at least one club I know of for insulting staff, and he was refused entry from the bar I work in a couple of times.

Also he hates us so fuck that guy.
