José Mourinho
cocknose
I was on here before saying who really cares what players are like in their personal lives, it's their on pitch antics we should concern ourselves with. The majority of people on here seemed to disagree and expressed an interest in off the pitch antics.
Thing is, when a player acts the cock off the pitch everybody seems happy to vilify them, and it makes for many, a lovely excuse to claim to dislike him on the pitch too. But then when a player acts a bit of a cock on it, we're supposed to ignore the fact that he seems a perfectly nice guy off it? Doesn't seem fair.
The real point is that most football fans find it hard to be objective when it comes to opposition players. For many, simply not liking a player for his footballing ways isn't enough. So I think it would be wrong of people, as ridiculous as it is, not to stand up (if you will) for players who are treated like pantomime villains by bias bandwagoning fans. Particularly when they're only getting run through the mill for not being on the "right" team.
The whole thing is daft, I agree. But if people are going to moan about the bad, then it's only fair others should stand up for the good.
