The fact he walked into a live interview to do it, some people think is quite strange you muppet. Its not normal and neither is quite a lot of stuff he does. If you have nothing constructive to add do one you melt.

so you think balotelli is wE1rD, good for you. i just find the hype about the guy very tiresome. remember how it all started - he couldnt put his training bib on, i think it made the 10 o`clock news. now that is amazing

FFS the thread isn't even about balotelli is it, i was just using him as an example as he has been in the spotlight for doing some mad stuff. I don't know what your problem is. the thread was supposed to be for a laugh.

Never seen him play but this feller sounds off the wall in a good way, Ivan Ergich, Bursaspor and ex-Juventus:


"One of my greatest sources of inspiration is Karl Marx. I grew up in what was then Yugoslavia, where my father was an orthodox Communist Party member. He taught me how to be human. Marx had unravelled the contradictions of capitalism some 150 years earlier and showed how the cash nexus corrupted the world. Money also corrupts football. I don’t want to be a conformist footballer. I need inspiration beyond football. I am inspired by the Frankfurt School of Adorno and Horkheimer. I also read a lot of Sartre. That is how I can maintain my principles, put my principles ahead of the pressures that demand that in football we succeed at any cost. Marx showed us that the contradictions of capitalism would negate the human essence and lead to alienation. I want to avoid this."

Have some of that, Barton.

Haha, a critical theorist footballer. Awesome. Wonder what he makes of Habermas and Zizek?
 
Looking closer to home...

Shandy Van Der Meyde. It's hard to disentangle madness and stupidity with him, but he was usually involved in some silly antics somehow.

Steven Pienaar. I actually think our little South African cuts a bonkers figure. Firts his insanely deep voice for his stature marks him out. The there is the 'god is great' proclomations set against very unchristian behaviour such as drink driving, getting involved in police investigations for assaults on women, speeding fines, and greed (the move to spurs for money). Add to that his apparent dreamer / delusory qualities. By this, I mean some of his waffle before the world cup about emulating the film Invictus. Yep, he's a bit off the wall if you ask me.

Royston Drenthe. Coming across like a cross between 50 cent and a pit bull, the boy is never far away from trouble. Clearly unhinged.

great line. success at any cost is whats killing the game. fuuck the cheats - let them keep their phony victories
 

Obviously the episode of Big Dunc vs the burglars needs a mention in here, plus his pigeon fancying.
