Personally I think the way we talk about some of our players is absolutely disgusting. We don't even describe Wednesday's lot the way we do our own. Some of you should be ashamed.
I don't. Monty is bobbar.
Have a scan through supporter reviews various (not just Deadbat's) ove the past ten years (mine included) and pull out the glittering praise for our midfield diesel-driven tractor. Show me some of the following:
" ... not a tackle was neshed and he won every ball, cleanly."
" ... cracked in a twenty-yard volley over the despairing grasp of the goalkeeper"
" ... neatly dispatched penalty."
" ... man of the match by a country mile."
" ... we'll be lucky to hang on to him come January."
" ... my mate who has contacts says Bolton and Sunderland have made a formal bid. Announcement tomorrow."
" ... every ball came through midfield and via him."
"Twice he steered a brilliant ball into the channels, once for our first goal and then resulting in the penalty."
" ... bent the ball round the wall and off the post into the net."
" ... slid in to make a superb tackle which the ref was happy to wave away any appeals."
" ... left the pitch to a standing ovation."
" ... looked up and lofted a superb pass onto the toes of the advancing attacker."
Nope?
More like:
" ... fucking woeful."
" ... gave the ball away too many times."
" ... found row Z."
" ... why the fuck he gets picked, I don't know."
" ... clumsy."
" ... miscued the cross with attackers in the box."
" ... ran the ball into touch when he should have controlled it."
" ... no control."
" ... another poor performance."
Now tell me what the fuck Sheffield United will miss when he's doofing the ball into the gardens of Londoners. Henderson must be holding his fucking head in despiar, having thought he'd got rid of the two-legged turd.
