Ex-player: Jordan HENDERSON

What have i done?

People love to give a hypocrite a good kicking but truth is there is a high degree of duplicity in all of us. Hendo did some good work and in my mind that doesn’t have to be undone by this move, the phrase, ‘don’t let perfection be the enemy of good’ springs to mind. I don’t begrudge him going out there for the money, but the recent interview was more than a bit galling. Would much rather a veiled truth such as ‘Its’ an unbelievable opportunity for me and my family’ than BS he’s been spouting.

As had been said before, if he had an ounce of intelligence, he would never have done that interview, kept his mouth shut, and he wouldn’t have damaged his reputation. It’s really only the interview and his ridiculous comments there that have opened up a rift.

What’s the saying about opening your mouth and removing all doubt that you are a fool?

I can’t remember which one it was, either Pat Nevin or Graeme le Saux, but they both had a reputation for being fairly intellectual at Chelsea. Apparently one of their team-mates saw them reading Chekhov and piped up that they had heard of them.

I think this impressed them as they thought they could discuss Uncle Vanya or The Cherry Orchard but it turned out that the dimwitted team-mate thought it was the bloke of Star Trek.

I doubt it was Pat Nevin. He decided to sign for Everton!!

It was le Saux. He used to read the Guardian, and his teammates would take the piss out of him.
