David Bentley -Statement on OS

[Dr Know]

I find the drink drive limit a bit strange, who can go out for just a pint????

Well for me its quite simple: If I drink I wont drive and if i'm driving I don't drink at all. There are some people that say its ok to have a shandy and drive, well no its not because you can never tell how you going to react even with the slightest bit of alcohol.

Its just not worth it

 

[gibbs131]

Could you explain why its a backlash? from what I can see its just an opinion :shrug:

Sure. It is backlash because it is backlash.

 

[Dr Know]

Sure. It is backlash because it is backlash.

To what?

 

[elvis7754]

just been reading on page 8, and dont know if anyone else has brought this up so far, but why is everyone assuming that Bentley is 'going through a hard time'?

 

[riversmonkey]

Our club has an alcohol problem!

He should be made to watch this video on a loop for 90 minutes

Well Gerrard got away with punching the snot out of someone on camera in club full of witnesses, so a jury of 'pool fans found him not guilty.

A load of Man U players got away with worse (allegedly) at their Christmas party.

So anything could happen unless we see top four bias (i'm a cynic)

Bentley obviously has troubles unless he's still celebrating being a dad.

I reckon he needs to see someone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8BWBn26bX0

I understand he lives in Bishops Stortford, he was a Cheshunt boy, in Northaw where he had the crash he was a couple of miles from Levy's and Defoe's houses.

and Mr King's drum too.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Pat Jennings and Ossie Ardiles (and one of the Martins, not sure if Peters or Chivers) live nearby too, in Broxbourne

You could be right, but I don't think he does live in Stortford, I live round there and the only Premiership player I know of living in Stortford is Dean Ashton. Somewhat surprisingly with his wife which seems to contradict his rumoured preferences.

I thought Bentley lived in Docklands, no?

I imagine the mistresses are just for sex, and there's no emotional involvement. :razz:

*sigh* Bentley, why are you so stupid and irresponsible

I'm not saying I haven't done similarly stupid things before, or know people who have gotten away with drunk driving, but that doesn't make Bentley's actions any less stupid and potentially lethal. FFS why not a taxi?! I hope this is a major wake-up call for him....

Bentley heading for rock bottom -- can anyone recoup the money on him now?... I doubt it. And, we all know Harry loves to see his players drinking -- should guarantee him first team footie Saturday... :roll:

When Ledders got arrested he played the next game if i remember right.

Since Harry does not rate Bentley (just going from starts) I have a feeling Harry will actually punish him properly and pretend he is a disciplinarian.

A 90 grand car...didn't want to leave it. Must be helluva lot of blokes made the same decision, knowing they were definitely over the limit, not massively, but thinking it was a short drive home on quiet roads. The key is not crashing your car into an inanimate object.

 

[NEVILLEB]

Maybe London offers too many temptations for Bentley

He may never settle down here

At least he had an excuse. Ronaldo totalled his Ferrari stone cold sober.

 

[stemark44]

Can we sack him and sue him for our money back?
For wasting his talent and destroying our investment on purpose - a bit like the Mutu case?
It might be the best option for us.
Any legal whizz kids out there that would know?
