That interview was actually really sad.

WTF happened to him? Bizarre.

Hate to sound insensitive, but...

...what a massive waste of talent. The idiot was living the dream and threw it all away. Cock.

No danger of him ever falling out of love with himself

I think that's probably exactly what's happened.

He must be deeply unhappy not to want to play professional football.

Who knows, maybe he's actually sick in some way either mentally or physically.

Whatever the circumstance this is a pretty sad story if you ask me.

Man fails to live up to potential. I'm sure that couldn't be said about anyone round here

Having now the article, I thought it was refreshingly honest.

It was strange how his form tailed off so dramatically and it makes you wonder how it happened.

But finding yourself playing for some team in Russia that no one's heard of must have made him think 'wtf am i doing this for?'

He's a millionare, he can a whole host of things in life now.

It seems a shame but there you go. I wish him well.

A shame but he's set up more than many will be. Just important he gets his head right now, as he's not in a bad position for someone who pissed it all away.

I sincerely hope it all works out for him and he gets his head straight. But you can't help but thinking that he had the footballing world at his feet in the months leading up to when he joined us then something went wrong. Maybe the size of the transfer fee went to his head and he thought he didn't have to put the effort in to maintain his talent. He certainly came across badly in the recent stories from Jimmy Bullard's autobiography; more interested in being the joker in the pack then applying himself to improve in the manner of players like Bale. Big fuck up to have that attitude, he could have been a top, top player.

Not in the sack anyway. I've always acheived orgasm in under 2 min and felt I achieved full potential after an immediate 4hr snooze. Never left unsatisfied lol.

Seriously though I think he's gone loco.

Edit-judging by responses I feel I need to clarify. I'm talking about self gratification not brining a partner to orgasm.
Jeez who gives a fu#k about that. I was born in the 70s damn it when men had the decency to get it done quick and go to sleep not drag the bastard out for 3 hours lol

Thank you for the memory David. (singular)

Way too much information with snooze length.

Tramezzani, Dozzel, Mimms, Kevin Scott and Nethercott have been approached. They all said "No".
