Gazza might have been even better if he wasn't such a complete twat. His career would have lasted longer too.Disagree - doesn't matter how successful he might have been, it's twattish behaviour. For the record I thought some of Gazza's antics were moronic as well, and he was one of my favourite players.
So that makes it OK for him to take the piss out of someone to their face?
But we do it behind backs every single day - we slate the players regularly, some of the stuff leveled at our under-performing squad this season have been nothing short of insane, yet we do it because there's a higher than average chance that they won't read it and, if they do, don't know us from Adam.
And how about Welshie? Seany? Yankspurs? There are a choice selection of posters on here that it seems fine to insult to their face... fingers? palms? I dunno what the phrase would be for a forum, but there doesn't appear to be much problem in the insults we sling about because we brush it off as "jokes" or whatnot, which it is. I'm pretty sure that's how Bentley's warped head sees it - ribbing, a bit of joshing about, so can are we really in a position to be judging him for it? If Capello or any of the rest of the squad felt it was out of line then they should've/could've/would've said something and perhaps the captain should've sent him home, but i get the impression the total lack of respect for Fabio went further than just Bentley and he was simply playing to his audience. Not nice, but as a community, we're just as guilty from the perspective of others, i don't doubt that for a second.
That is exactly my point. If Bentley had produced on the pitch he could have been a favourite too.Disagree - doesn't matter how successful he might have been, it's twattish behaviour. For the record I thought some of Gazza's antics were moronic as well, and he was one of my favourite players.

Yep. I bet when he looks back on his life he thinks 'I really should have not bothered with the football. I should have just got a job stacking shelves at Tesco like all the rest of my mates.'What a loser. And the sad prick thinks he's a winner. Pathetic.
Twat if true!
What a waste when you think of the thousands that would give anything to be in his position.
We're not miserable. We're mature and don't like to listen to semi literate fuck wits brazenly discussing what they drank and fucked.
There's a whole thread dedicated to that interview. I don't think he can't across bad, but Jimmy had un done that.I watched an interview with Bentley on BT Sport last night and he says that he has had enough of football and is going to channel himself into bringing up his twins and his business in spain. He was very candid in his approach to the teams he played for and said all he ever wanted to do was play football but when the chance came it was not as rosey as he thought. He felt that for all the sacrifices that one has to make football is not at all what it is made out to be.
When I'm on a train travelling to another boring meeting (wearing a suit) I'd rather listen to that than people filled with their own self importance loudly talking about stakeholder engagement and paradigm shifts!We're not miserable. We're mature and don't like to listen to semi literate fuck wits brazenly discussing what they drank and fucked.

He likes a laugh, what a crime. When you think of Gazza shitting in shoes and all other stuff you here, who gives a shit. Everyone is just bitter cos he is yet another failed Spurs big buy.
They both sound like absolute insufferable pricks.
