Steve "The Knowledge" Claridge

[Manny]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I flicked over to final score on the red button at about 5ish, and was just in time to see the BBC do some coverage of the after-game protest. After some cursory noises from Gabby Logan, the shitbag Claridge decides to act all "I'm playing devil's advocate here", then proceeded to talk about other clubs having debt - "even Abramovich says he won't be spending much", Benitez wasting a lot of good money on shite and that the owners mightn't have been so absolutely fucking disastrous. He wasn't playing devil's advocate at all because he looked to me like he believed what he was saying. In fairness to Martin Keown, he said a few words back (didn't exactly launch an impassioned defence like).

 

Makes me seethe to think fucking no-marks like Claridge get a soapbox to air their ridiculous views to a wider audience. I know he's an idiot, I know he should be ignored but just as a smile came on my face that we were getting some coverage that prick has to miss the point completely. He's a fucking mong.

[Liverpool lad]

He is a bad gimp. Rafa wasted money at an alarming rate in his final 2 seasons, but the debt that Chelsea are carrying is completely different in its structure than ours.

[Trumo]

Claridge has actually claimed to be a Liverpool fan before. Funny how that never comes across hey? For a man who spent an absolute shitload at the bookies and recouped some of it from numerous signing-on fees, to castigate someone else for money wasting, is reaching just a tad.

 

I don't expect Keown to launch an "impassioned defence" of our club, but he's never seemed to go the same route as others by engaging in ill-informed slagging offs.

 

Claridge is in the same clueless fuckwit boat as Craig Burley, Tim Sherwood, Charlie Nicholas, Mark Bright, Garth Crooks and Stan Collymore. People like Keown and Dixon don't seem interested in sticking the knife deeper into the wounded animal.

 

One of the best summarisers currently is Graham Taylor, closely followed by David Pleat. They might have had their teams playing route one football, or be unable to pronounce names, but they provide a balanced opinion which is all that we can ask for. I've said it before, but the VERY best, and an absolute gent, is SIR Jimmy Armfield.

[Wor Horse]

Chris Coleman is decent as well.

[moses]

Claridge is a Man U fan BTW

[chauncey]

His face looks like a bullhead

Hence the word "claimed".

[jamespp]

In FourFourTwo magazine in that feature where they ask questions sent in he said he was a Liverpool fan and he said he got attacked at Rome 84

They should all start posting on the FF Trumo, they'd soon find themselves totally outclassed at their own game.

[Pidge]

Massive twuntberry.

[Dante]

Heard him on Radio 5 last year saying he was a boyhood Liverpool fan which surprised me because the feeble minded cunt likes to get a dig in whenever he can.

I think he's a bit like Pele in that sense. It all depends on where he is and which teams he is watching at the time.

[Juan Galonso]

Think it is harsh labelling Collymore in that bracket to be honest. He is even trying to set up some kind of fans forum thing on Talksport at present and is regularly commenting on us and the ownership situation and certainly knows his stuff about that subject.

[Faustus]

He's a fucking ball bag. Anybody with half a brain knows that.

 

He should stick to chatting wham on that Football League programme.

He contradicts himself on a weekly basis depending on how the crow flies, so occasionally he's bound to be right on the money.

He's a massive cunt who talks, almost exclusively, utter shite.

 

But he's not arsed who he offends, and is more than happy to voice an opinion regardless of how popular it will be. Which, in the case of our ownership issue, can at times be to our advantage.

[Anubis]

Has Claridge still not been arrested for his part in that Mossad assassination a while back? I notice he doesn't wear the blonde wig and lipstick on the Football League Show.

Agreed,what ever people think of him,least he champions our plight

[Jim MM]

Have to agree with John here. I don't like Collymore at all but he's given Liverpool's off the field ownership issues a LOT of air time on talkshit in recent months and I'm not arsed if that suits his own agenda or not. There's a lot of sneering going on at talkshit about our club and Collymore is prepared to have his say to any of the cuntwits on that station.

 

As for Claridge - did anyone just see him on the Football League Show trying to explain why clubs play better at home than away? It was fucking hilarious. Claridge is an absolute fucktard of the highest order. I'm constantly amazed at how much air time he gets. The guy is a complete joke.

I find him morbidly fascinating on the Football League Show. All hunched over like the arthritic lovechild of Rodney from Only Fools & Horses and a grotesque teddy bear.

 

Did he wear a wig last season? Only ask because I distinctly remember him even in his Leicester days sporting a mean widow's peak.

Only on one occasion.
