Collymore on Carra

[King Emlyn]

I'm hoping that was a typo.

I think we need to presume it was, the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.

[russellgsy]

If I remember right the legend that is Maldini has high praise for Carra

[Harry Squatter]

Was Collymore that talented though?. I know he is a complete and utter mentalist but say he had a normal, stable mind what would have he been like?. He did have a few good games for Forest which then persuaded Liverpool to spunk the money on him but was he really better than say Fowler or McMananaman?. The 1996 season him and Fowler played well together without allegedly liking each other. He seems to have always used the excuse that his brain wasn't wired properly to get away with not performing. He didn't do anything after he left Liverpool at Villa, Leicester or in Spain.

 

I read 4-4-2 a couple of months back and someone in there described him as the "English Ronaldo" - Prior to him fucking up his knee 4/5 times and putting on tons of weight Ronaldo was awesome and even if he was a complete and utter lazy twat he could still turn a game in an instant but I don't think Stan Collymore was as good as he was ever made out to be.

No he was nowhere near it, on his day he could be unplayable a little bit like Ronaldo but unlike Ronaldo he couldn't finish.

 

The Utd game at home we won 2-0 in 95, Fowler had 2 chances and banged in 2 goals. Collymore had about 6 clear cut chances and hit Schmeical every time.

He seems to have peddled a myth that he could have been England's greatest ever player if he wasn't such a fuck up as a person. He only got about 3 England caps didn't he?

[JMARKH]

someone ought to crack his head like an egg.

[RoboRiise]

He should stick to wanking himself off in car parks with obese swingers from Cannock.

 

 

Edit:

Gollymore has put on a lot of weight & has a very annoying accent.

 

Very poor form.

[Unrighteous]

I didn't get to watch a lot of matches back then but from what I saw... I remember cursing Collymore rather than praising him.

[G Richards]

I loved his partnership with Fowler. When it was firing it was something to behold. When Stan was happy and focused he was a great player. Sadly that was only for a short time.

 

As for all this sort of stuff, it's not worth bothering. He has serious character flaws and is acting like a jilted lover.

Hmmm, i don't know. I'm not sad about it, i was glad we got shut of his shitty attitude and morale destroying ways when we did. He summed up the 'couldnt give a fuck' attitude of the mid 90's embodied by him, James, Babb & Ruddock. Wasn't sorry to see any of them go, i'm amazed it actually took that long for the club to twig that James was a liability.

[Royal Family]

He's used his Mirror article today to slate rafa over buying Robbie Keane, and compares it to Roy Evans's use of him at Liverpool. I reckon he's been talking to atk because he peddles that line about Rafa only wanting him if he could first sign Barry!

[redrosetints]

Stan was the 90s version of Heskey, all the physical tools but couldn't do the mental thing. Only difference was that Emo doesn't believe in himself enough, whilst Collymore did too much. Carra on the other hand, does the mental thing, hands down ,every day of the week, with not so much talent.

[Strontium]

I'm in two minds about Stan Collymore.

 

On the one hand, he talks shite about LFC, is bitter and twisted, is a sexual deviant, pissed away his considerable talent, has a silly voice and is a hopeless mummy's boy.

 

On the other hand, he leathered the shit out of Ulrika Jonsson.

[dennis tooth]

Collymore is in two minds about collymore.

 

banana split personality.

[WaltonRed]

He sums up the whole mess that this club was in the 90's.

 

JC is a legend, in 200 hundred years reds fans will talk about him, Collymore wont even be a footnote.

[hamstrung]

His article in the Mirror today is a joy.

 

• We should still be getting Mourinho as Benitez cannot attract the same calibre of player
  
• The players don't believe in him
  
• Losing at Boro is Rafa's level
  

[Woo]

There aren't many men around that I would happily repeatedly punch in the face, but Stan Collymore is one of that elusive group. Fucking prick.

Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill.

[NIred1]

Collymore's constant bigging himself up is totally laughable. Every article he does starts with "When I was at..", "My old club.." or "Whenever I played at.....".

 

 

Fucking loathesome cunt.

[Woo]

You know what Stan, if you had the right attitude, and willingness to learn, you could have been as good as what Torres is now for us. But instead, you were an arrogant, shithouse, undermining horrible twat, who's career went downhill faster than an avalanche on speed.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Collymore always acts like a jilted lover when he talks about us. He's basically a 40-year-old woman who's watched her ex-husband win the lottery and start dating a 23-year-old model.

 

She's had a boob job, but she's still bitter.

 

Best description of Collymore ever.

[Rush 346]

The article is here, seeing is believing, utter tosh!

[Pippa]

The archetypal shock jock.

 

Oxygen thief.

[Guest Lynchyred]

Don't know if anyone ever read this but just searched and found an interview qith Stan in the Times 5 years ago. A fascinating read as Stan reveals himself to be exactly what he claims not to be, a self-centred wanker. And the reporter takes him apart as well.

 

Never read an interviewer being so scathing towards a subject. A good read:

Got to laugh at Stanley.
