Sol Campbell Massive Bastarding Eejit

Does have a nice ring to be fair.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Besides being a Judas prick, he’s also just very unlikeable, arrogant and an insufferable twat.

 

[UncleBuck]

Isn’t his missus the heiress to Barrett homes? You’d think a nice fat cheque would get him an MBE, at least a seat in the House of Lords.

Does that mean he gets the keys to the Barratt’s helicopter? God help us all….

Doesn’t work like that , you made your bed no go and do one for life , go **** yourself your dead to us , should have thought about your life after football your dead to us , just immigrate and go away.

You have to wonder if he could have become the talisman that he was to us then in this day and age. With the window that we have on players lives and personalities now you'd have to think that we'd have surmised he was a total dildo long before he went across the way. We had so little window on who the players were as people back then, but everything he's said and done since that window opened has made him seem like an absolute lemon.

I don't wish him any harm or hold any ill will anymore. He's irrelevant now. He managed to let down an incredible number of people, including the Woolwich (who cancelled his contract in good faith so he could play overseas, only for him to rock up at Pompey) and Notts County (signing for them, playing 1 game and sucking so bad, when he was called out on it he just walked off), then the Woolwich again just being shit. He's attempted to run for parliament and failed, he's just all mouth and no action.

And, for me the funniest bit of all, he constantly goes on about all of his credentials and the landmarks he achieved - and he's absolutely right, we need to agree with him and say, yes, those are things that should weigh heavily in your favour but... Sol... Even with all that ammo, your personality is still so fucking dreadful, that alone drives people away from you and yet your arrogance just assumes that it's always, always them and not you.

Have a word with yourself, then maybe come back and ask again.

Knowing what he's experienced up to this day, I do wonder if he would change his decision. Surely no amount of personal success is worth the trauma and fear that he feels every time he and his family leave the house.

 

[spursfan77]

Fuck him, he’s a prick. He was then and he is now, you can see that every time he opens his mouth. I hope he gets shit from spurs fans for the rest of his life (minus the wishing death songs of course).

He hints at that in the article.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.

 

[absolute bobbins]

Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

 

[faymantaray]

I don't like him because he's a Tory but within a footballing context I agree with him. The time for people to get over it was long ago. Think what you like but abusing him and his family, especially in the street, is pathetic and deplorable behaviour imo.

 

[allatsea]

I hope we haunt him until the day he dies.

 

[faymantaray]

I hope we haunt him until the day he dies.

He's living in your head rent free. Let it go.

 

[PCozzie]

Sol, we're all going to have a massive rethink in the summer. Don't worry, it's definitely going to happen. Just sit tight and have patience and when the season's over all of us, every Spurs fan, is going to think differently of you.

Promise.

 

[rabbikeane]

Wenger says the Arsenal players even booed SC when he arrived, and that he's not sure whether he'd sign him now knowing the abuse it created. Good.

 

[tommo84]

Do I think our fans should still songs about him - particularly songs about celebrating his eventual death - 20 years after he left? No.

Do I think our fans should forgive him and therefore give him the ‘clean slate’ he’s asking for? An emphatic no.

The bloke is a massive weapon. We’re right to continue thinking he’s a prick and for his name to be a dirty word. He’s such a narcissist that any semblance of forgiveness even now would - in his mind - vindicate what he did. Bollocks to that!

 

[EssexSH27]

I’m kinda over it now and I’m past joining in with the jelly and ice cream song etc. I’m not the 11 year old annoyed and devastated he left, throwing his Campbell 23 shirt on the bonfire.

Guy craves attention and better to just ignore him. Laugh at him for his MBE begging and clout chasing mind.
