What did Paul Merson say?

Merson & Thompson are nearly as funny as Little & Large.
Scrub that, they are funnier than L&L.

 

There are many factions on this board, many disagreements, but the one thing that unites us all is that Merson is a ****.

 

What a ****ing clown.

 

Fair enough, I'm surprised it hasn't been more widespread.

 

it's not like we've had loads of foreign managers. silva's only the second non-british one so far.

 

A minor correction.

 

That's not what he said, but it makes for a fun headline.

 

What about OLM's quote above ? Did he make it up ?

 

Merson said something like "What about the managers who have spent years in Britain doing their badges, like Henry." That got twisted to mean "British managers like Henry" which makes him look a dill, but I'm pretty sure he knows what one of Arsenal's greatest players' nationality is.

 

Either way he was still talking complete and utter bollocks.

 

Absolutely.

 

You know when you put a "..." in a quote it's because words are taken out?

“I’m not having it. You can give me stick on that. There’s enough British managers out there, come on.

“These people, these players, these English people, they go out, they do these badges. They take time, they cost money. You’ve got managers all over the country putting in a shift, starting at the bottom, and then you bring in managers we don’t know.”

“He’s won the league at Olympiakos. I’d win the league at Olympiakos,” he said.

“I got a text off Tony [Adams] as it goes, a nice text about what I said.

“Off the top of my head: Why not Thierry Henry? He’s done his badges, he’s a legend in the game, he’s ripped up the Premier League. If he walked into Hull City he’d give them a lift."

 

Yes he is. All I was saying was the headline about him calling Henry British was a bit silly when there's plenty to make fun of him about without twisting his words.

 

Just read this weeks predictions and the twat has managed not to mention city at all during his write up 100% Chelsea what a southern dick

 

I'd ****ing love it if we took the three points!

The miracle's on.

 

to answer the original question........ I think he said something about being gay

 

maybe Merson can choke on his own face now , the cushion faced mong
