He is as thick as mince, looks it as well. Surely they should do a test before hiring a footballer, I know footballers do get a bad press as being stupid but but throwing on the likes of Keown and Carlton Cole they help perpetuate this stereotype.
Keown
Cole
O'hara
Bent
I mean Mark Goldbridge got thrown on and he gets stick but he is light years more articulate than Carlton Cole the clip below shows the difference as they have a conversation. They need to apply standards to footballers.
"Not like Liverpool"
Cole is oblivious to the fact that he pretty much just described what's going on at Liverpool right now.

"Morning lads, A Geordie here to give a measured and honest assessment of the outcome of tonight's game...
Woolwich, should win tonight, you have a far stronger squad, your league position dictates also that on paper you should win, but WILL Woolwich win tonight?
Firstly, tonight is our last Home Game of the campaign...our crowds and atmosphere are a million miles away from anything that you experienced during Ashley's tenure...tonight, Wor Flags have put 52,500 flags, banners, cards to lift up etc...something on every seat in the stadium...our 12th man is back and I tell you what, tonight will be a genuinely explosive and passionate atmosphere with us Geordies showing our gratitude to Eddie Howe and the players for the exceptional hard work that has enabled us to end the campaign safe from relegation with 2 games to go. History suggested we were as good as relegated after zero wins in our first 14 games, we made history by staying up and of course we recruited in the winter transfer window, but Tripper hasn't played, Guimaraes was benched for the first 4 games by Eddie Howe while he adapted to the pace of the premiership, Wilson has been out injured for the majority of the second half of the season, but...players that looked utter dross under Bruce...Krafth & Joelinton to name just 2, have shown what is possible when a proper Manager / Coach comes into a club...along with his back room staff, Eddie Howe has truly shown how talented and clever he is by changing EVERYTHING at our club...dont underestimate how much good old fashioned hard work and graft has changed things...what a breath of fresh air Eddie Howe has been.
Onto tonight's game, as I said, you should be beating us, every stat suggests you will beat us, however, I genuinely think we take home the W tonight.
I expect Krafth to continue at RB with Tripper on the bench, however, Ryan Fraser could also be back, albeit on the bench. I also expect Wood to start up front, again with Wilson on the bench, our team should be Dubravka, Krafth, Schar, Burn, Target, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Joelinton, ASM, Almiron and Wood up top.
We will cause you problems tonight, we will get chances, and, as long as we take them (they fall to anyone else but Wood lol) we can beat you.
Watch out for Guimaraes killer passes splitting your defence, I'm not sure which ASM will turn up, but if he's in the mood and wants it, he can be unplayable, Almiron is playing for his future along with many others in the team, and, of course, Wilson can come off the bench and cause real problems.
I can see 2-1 to the Toon, with Guimaraes getting the first and Wilson (off the bench) scoring the winner.
Anyway, safe journey to your travelling fans, enjoy the atmosphere tonight, it will be special.
Cheers

Ooh, if Fraser is back, that's an extra bonus.
ASM is a bit of an attention loving showpony isn't he, so if it really is a loud, party atmosphere tonight, and given the enormity of the occasion, I reckon it'll suit him down to the ground.
Far more likely he turns up and plays a blinder in a game like tonight, than, say a standard away game to Southampton or something.
And yes, I'm looking to find random positives in anything!

Honestly the lack of passion in Mania is astonishing.
after what happened last Thursday TFC would be rabid like, foaming at the mouth
but in Mania, and I quote
’lose tonight and we lose a fan forever’.
i think if that was posted here someone clever cunt would be converting an email address into an actual address.
Him against cedric will be a mismatch
would love it if he does a messi runs full length of the pitch cedric falls on his arse and lobs the keeper
but a deflection would do
Any chance of feeding the scum poisoned lasagne before the game?
Someone want to go and shit in their food?

I’m bored and going to take a long leisurely stroll over Southwark park, taking the dog.
I’ll have Clint Eastwood’s glint in my eye, ( I’ll look like the version that needs a carer).
I’ll met Fat Barry (I kid you not).
a gormless gooner if ever I’ve met one. He will have a Trust the Process sticker on his disability scooter.
he will rattle on bout conspiracies and that the Yid army were behind the deaths of JFK and UFOs etc, and that even Boris is helping the Mighty Spurs.
but throughout his bottom lip will be quivering like the Spanish Mr Bean’s. And I hope the battery on his disability scooter dies before he gets home.
the embodiment of being a Yid. COYS

Just heard Arteta saying "It's good to go through bad moments, because you learn from them*." Here's hoping tonight provides him with another nice, steep learning curve.
*at least, I think that's what he said - it's never easy when someone stubbornly refuses to sound their consonants. Bloody Spaniards.
