[Albion] If Jamie Vardy played for the Albion …..

[zefarelly]

Quite a different character to Welbeck, Milner, Veltman, or Dunk, but someone I'm certain Facu is learning lots from!

On MotD there was a suggestion Leicester are interested in Ferguson . . . . IF he went on loan for the rest of the season with them, under RVN and alongside Vardy, he could learn a trick or two.

 

[Weststander]

I don't think Vardy is universally "hated" anywhere near as much as you're suggesting.

I certainly don't "hate" him or even dislike him.

Big respect for his ability and what he's achieved in the game.

The ultimate underdog.

Other than Spurs fans (bitter about the 2015/16 title) I've never come across a football person who hates Jamie Vardy.

On a scale with El Hadji Diouf being a 10, Barton being somewhere up there, Jamie Vardy barely registers imho.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

At any other club:
Filthy chav weasle, playing his dirty underhanded football!

At Brighton:
Splendid fellow, a brave hero risking life and limb for the Albion!

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Good player.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

What would you do?

There‘s few players I truly detest and he’s one of them. An uncultured chav with a goon of a wife who’s as thick and chavvy as him. But if he signed for the Albion what would you do?

He’s a thug! When Van Dijk was at Southampton and out injured for a while, followed by gardening leave before going to Liverpool, it was Vardy who had accidentally(?) trod (stamped) on his foot…….

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I think you can only admire his longevity and ability on a football pitch..not sure really where the OP is coming from on this one

I saw a list of 10 players a while ago that “everybody loves irrespective of their team loyalty”. Jamie Vardy was one of them. Everybody I have ever talked to about him detests him because he’s a ferret faced whining little cheat and thug. That’s what the OP is talking about!

We'd have to find another home for Buonanotte though. A team can only have one player from another club at a time.

Yep - I quite like him. He always seemed like the scruffy underdog fella who has come up through the ranks and is suddenly scoring for fun in the Premier League. I certainly dont hate him.

...little cheat and thug? All Ive seen down the years is a very very good striker, with the confidence to go for it. Where was the "cheating" and "thuggery"?
(Ok - cue examples from a game in say 2019.... what player at that level hasn't a few of those? )

i think that’s harsh and havnt spoken to people who would describe him in that way!

Not everybody I spoke to used those precise words - but I’ve not ever had a conversation with anybody who likes him, and most have actively disliked him.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Difficult to not admire a player that went from playing non league to playing in a team that won the Premier League

 

[tedebear]

Danny Welbeck, James Milner and Adam Lalllllana would suggest that might not be the case...

See words above, tedious, gobshite, windup, everybody hates him etc etc etc and then have a look at the model.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Why is 'chav' still controversial?

A new book claims the word "chav" is helping to reignite class war. One journalist calls it "the vile word at the heart of fractured Britain". So, is chav really the most divisive word in the UK?

www.bbc.com

I can't stand that word. Partly because different people use it to describe two completely opposed individuals: either (in my experience) people with no money who wear tracksuits and rob shops or who are genuinely unpleasant, or people who have loads of money but might sound common and aren't exactly backwards in coming forwards.

So which is it?

For me the chav's with money, were originally in the former category...ie once a chav always a chav?

Every striker in the EPL would stamp on Virtual's foot, given half a chance.

 

[Durlston]

I saw his Fleetwood side get hammered by Barnet at Underhill on a cold, wet Friday night.

In the bar afterwards he stood out in his tracksuit as the ugliest footballer in the flesh since Iain Dowie. His chin was a very strange shape.

Round these parts, among certain sorts, 'my chav' is a term of endearment.

That said, such sorts also address attractive women as 'treacle'.

And some such women seem to take this as a compliment.

I caveat this by noting that it is getting on for 20 years since I frequented the local pubs.

Don't these other clubs who are "showing an interest" realise why Ferguson isn't getting game time ?

 

[Invicta]

He'd score a ton of goals !
