Although Chelsea Sacked Mutu - Had to Have My Say!

Simple!! Performance enhancing or recreational drugs it doesn't matter. A drug is a drug and Mutu got caught out. Simple!!
When a certain Man Utd/England defender 'missed' his routine drug test and despite all the 'I forgot all about it' ' I went shopping to spend some of my weekly thousands' he only got 8 months. Me, personally I don't give a tuppeny f**k, because from the time that Mutu joined Chelsea from Parma, he instantly hit it off with the fans scoring goals left, right and centre and even though he went 'missing' so to speak not scoring for an age, well at least not on the pitch but up his nose allegedly, he was still deemed a 'hero.' Chim Chimey, Chim Chimey Chim Chim Chieroo who needs Wayne Rooney when we got Mutu' became an anthem at The Bridge and at away games as well. At least there are people smiling now. Evertonians got £27 million for their hero. All we got is a endless pocket of cash that threw away £16 million. In fact if you do the maths, atlhough Chelsea spent £16 million on Mutu when he first signed, with the time that his contract has remaining, times his weekly wage - Chelsea have saved that money. I have absolutely no sympathy at all with Mutu. He abused his position of a highly paid, high profile celebrity and YES a footballer, potentially a very very potent Premiership footballer. Abused his employers, abused himself and most importantly abused his fans. Chelsea fans at that. The most important set of people in his entire life. The people that contribute thousands, ney millions over a course of a season to pay part of his wages. At the end of the day he abused that position of faith, loyalty, trust and heroship. I don't expect professional footballers to behave like monks. Good grief NO!! They are human like all of us. What I do expect is for them to behave in such a way where temptation to abuse their bodies, which us fans pay a good deal of money nowadays, is ignored and dismissed to see them perform on a weekly basis in an athletic fashion. Footballers they maybe, but at the end of the day footballers are athletes. To me the most galling aspect of this episode alledgely was when at the start of the season JM asked AM in front of his two advisors are you on drugs and alledgely Mutu denied it and his advisors laughed at the suggestion. Obviously JM wasn't convinced and arranged for a drug test. Since it was reported that AM was 'high' at Villa Park earlier this season, there were certain performances last season where it was 'possible' that Mutu was playing with a substance in his system. That might explain why a player who scores half-dozen goals in as many games for his new club and then goes on a barren run lasting over 20 odd games where he doesn't score, well perhaps score with women and a certain substance, you get my drift and it might also explain why the press reported his character as surly and miserable!!!! But then again Mutu looks like a surly and miserable so and so anyway. Who are we to know! As far as I am concerned Mutu has let me down, himself down and a whole heap of Mutu fans including his own people down. Like when Bosnich was banned. He got what he deserved. Again you abuse your position you get done. We all know that if any of these situations happened to us - normal Joe Public - we would be out on our ear. Maybe Man U and SAF have more pressing matters on their minds at the moment, but since the Mutu news broke, I am surprised there hasn't been any mumblings, moanings, consternations and comparisons of RF and AM. And by the way GARY NEVILLE, John Terry is BETTER than Ferdinand. It won't be long before SGE cleans his glasses and sees the same.
