It's all becoming clear now: None of the problems at the club, from the results on the field to the board unrest can be blamed on any of the following: Levy, Kemsley, Commoli, Martin Jol, Hans Segers, Chrissy Hughton, The Three Amigos, Jimmy Tarbuck, ENO or The King of WHL.
All signs now point to PASCAL CHIMBONDA:
1. He cannot play with our only creative outlet (Berba aside) - forcing (t.o.o.)Aaron Lennon to play right back for half the game - RESULT: AL loses confidence and certain England spot
2. His wish to spend as little time in his defensive position leaves both Mickey D and ENO totally exposed - RESULT: Mickey D loses England squad position, the whole world calls for ENO to be EN3.
3. He wears gloves in the middle of summer
4. We were clearly the fourth best team in 2005/6 season - without CHIMBO
5. Last season he slapped Nicky Butt - what kind of message does that send out to your team-mates? If you wanna be seen as a hard as nails defender, you gotta round-house the ugly fecker
6. Arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud
7. Wears tights
8. Is a money grabber - look at the way he left Wigan. No wonder Levy and ENIC are looking to sell out - they need the several hundred million pound injection to cover his paycheck
9. According to websites: "Chimbonda is able to play at centre-back or right-back" - NO HE CAN'T. If you don't believe me, watch a re-run of the Tel Aviv game.
Why did it get worse this season?
10. COS THE FECKER CUT HIS HAIR - HIS POWER HAS GONE!
No wonder he wants to do a runner
(actually I think he was overplaying a bit on Sunday cos he was trying to show off in front of his ex-employers - A winner against the Spammers and you're my best friend again Chimbo!!)
