Totally agree. Nice to have a humble, young Englishman as a future captain. :)

Oh no not at all

That’s the problem, although the captain is largely a symbolic position…the best teams had utter cunts as captains

Roy Keane, John Terry, Steve McMahon

Of course you can’t get away with it anymore because if you’re even slightly famous your life is under the microscope.

Tony Adams was a bit of a Cunt, but that was more emotional vulnerability dealing with alcoholism…his heart wasn’t really in being a cunt. He had to get pissed before he went though Brentwood town centre snapping all the radio aerials on cars, or kicking over a salad cart in Pizza Hut.

You need to be the kind of person who bears a grudge for a perceived slight for over two years to end another players career

Getting a blow Job from a teenager whilst their wife is in labour

A real unmitigated piece of shit

Was easier to say you hate Adams.

No I don’t hate TA at all, most of those observations were those he made about himself in his own book that alcoholism caused him to be massively emotionally stunted.

If they get for him near on what we paid for Rice that would be excellent business for them as long as it’s reinvested wisely

I have to say I actually like Kane as a person, not the sharpest tool in the shed but seems like a genuine bloke and if he’d wanted he could have really made a genuine stink about not being sold before now. But he hasn’t and I respect that

Been a good player for England too

I can't stand him - he's a total cheat and slightly less intelligent than the average breeze block

Unlike all the other footballers of course who are paragons for fair play and regularly discuss philosophy while listening to classical music.

I don't particularly have a problem with him as a person, not do I particularly like him really. I think he's being an idiot staying at Spurs so long and missing out of big trophies but it's his career.

I think the only alternative was to act like an utter prick and stamp his feet until Levy changed his mind

Maybe he should have done that but it’s not the kind of behaviour I respect.

But then again, even if you are respectful about it fans will still berate you, so you can’t win

Basically it’s too early for me to come to a settled view point. Mac takes against a lot of people, that’s not a criticism because I take against a lot of people too.

but he's particularly pronounced at it - I don't respect his stats because so many of them are unwarranted pels and also he should have received far more cards in his career than he has - the general Spuds love-in, plus the England Captain protection, have helped him a lot - and then he's had Son giving him a lot of easy chances

put him at Crystal Palace and he'd be a goal every five games, if that

This just across as bitter jealousy that you lack my ability for insulting people

Plus given you seem to dislike everything about Arsenal presently, makes me wonder if this is just projection and your stated dislike of Kane just a bluff or bitter tears because you know he will be leaving your beloved club
