I don't see why it is. It is the media and their pathetic tactics and trying to build up football players and knocking them down so they can sell papers. You claim to understand what people are saying about the media but yet you are swallowing their awful 'moral' stories like mothers' milk.

Except I'm not, and if you actually read any of my posts you would see that

I have no 'moral' problem with Kyle. I have a 'oh my god, use your fucking head' problem with him

I apologise if I have misconstrued your point. Kyle Walker doesn't need to apologise for what he did. He used laughing gas for goodness sake. I remember a doctor bringing it into my school when I was younger for a laugh. He did absolutely nothing wrong. He can't live his life on what some moron at some rag of a paper says about him.

Some people would have these players locked up in a box with only a protein shake and a treadmill for company. IMO there will be a lot of footballers coming out of the game with even more psychological issues than there are now. These guys cannot live at all.

If you don't think a footballer is identical to a race-horse then that's your look-out. As for me, I don't think it's unreasonable to make them live like a monk for 36 years and then melt them down into glue.

I'm confused because the radio said "legal" high but then acted like he had done something wrong. Has someone changed the use of the word legal without me knowing?

Kyle Walker should be ashamed of himself.

Like it or not, Premier League footballers are role models. They lay down an example for our children to follow. When they wind up at the wrong end of the newspaper, they should be there for traditional reasons. Women, booze, financial enterprises so ill-advised that a cat could point out the critical flaws in the business plan.
But not for balloons.

How did Walker feel when the Sunday Mirror closed the trap? The call would have come on Friday or Saturday. The blocked number. The haughty voice, dripping with superiority.
“We’ve got you, Walker. We’ve got you bang to rights. We’ve got you for the balloons.”
Tell me, honestly, how can you look your friends and family in the face when they’ve got you for the balloons?

There is a story about Noel Gallagher going to meet the guitarist from Muse, but stopping dead in front of him and staring in disgust at his electronic cigarette.
“You know how it is,” said the man from Muse hopefully.

No, Gallagher did not know how it was. He knew that society expects certain things from rock stars, just as it expects certain things of footballers.

Footballers have a responsibility, nay a duty, to sleep with pop stars and then cheat on them. They have a duty to buy expensive cars that they later prove to be entirely incapable of controlling. Balloons? God, it’s all so low-rent.

By golly, what on earth was Walker playing at when he accepted the offer of a lungful of nitrous oxide? Did he think that ‘hippy crack’ was cool? Well, I’ve got news for you, Mr Walker: things that hippies do are never cool.

Was he unaware of the horror stories? The grisly, real life accounts of what a cylinder full of nitrous oxide can do to a party? I’ve got news for you, Mr Walker. Hippy crack can kill a party. It can kill it just like that.

One minute, you’ve got a house full of interesting people, glugging grown-up squash, talking, joking and flirting. The next minute, there’s a line as long as a night bus queue for some bearded bloke and his grimy canister of pressurised headache gas. Conversations break down, conventions break down, the very superstructure of the party itself breaks down as you stand in horror and watch people giggle their heads off for 120 seconds and then sweatily retake their place at the back of the queue.

It might be a laugh for you, Mr Walker, it might be a great big Premier League laugh, but the laughing stops when the Scandinavian girl you were talking to about Jeff Buckley, the one who who kept flicking her hair in a way that a TV documentary once told you means that she’s almost definitely interested, suddenly inhales a crippling migraine and has to go home early. Ha bleeding ha, Mr Walker. Ha bleeding ha. (No Scandinavian hippy chicks were hurt in the process of research for this column - Ed)

We can only be thankful that the repentant doofus acted quickly to repair the damage. By releasing a statement of apology, by distancing himself from ballon-based activities, he may have prevented other parties from sharing the same terrible fate.

It is high time that Mr Walker and his ilk remembered their responsibilities to society and focused on their profession’s priorities: Namely, messing up in an England shirt, destroying their marriages and going off the rails in such style that we never begrudge them their wages again.

Balloons? Give me strength.

It's a bit Catholic isn't it? Man enjoys endorphins flooding his brain after experiencing orgasm during consensual sex. The animal should locked up!

The shame, the shame. Guilt! Filth! Sin!

awful? he was on the same level as the rest.

what i dont get about all the walker hate is that the perpetrators have failed to notice that almost every chance or half chance we've created so far this season has had him involved. he's been one of our best players recently and yet the vitriol is thicker than ever before.

:confused:

Completely baffled by your post, are we talking about the same player? Did you overlook the 3 or 4 times Walker got caught out this evening? Oh or maybe the freekick he gave away at the end? Are you including the amount of chances he's created for other teams?

Lloris made two howlers playing for France. Should we start a thread saying he's shit now too? I don't judge Spurs players on how they play for their country.

You do know that Walker has taken over from Jenas as our boo boy.

Hardly the same is it? Walker has been poor for us for quite some time and yet he is still first choice.

I hope his team mates are still talking to him after such a rotten stand out poor showing and that he realises he was lucky to have so many of his team mates in such good form to stop him single handedly ruining what was otherwise a sparkling and vintage display of english football at its finest. They rest of the team really stood up to ther task of covering his deficiency and it is only down to the other 10 players that Ukraine barely had a chance.

Walker is one of those players who has to be perfect every time he plays. Literally spot on perfect. And then, if he manages that, he might get an average mark from those with a fucking great big axe to grind.
