That's what u call mates.....!

This Charming Man…
Jamie Carragher continues to endear himself to the nation and takes another step in dismissing the lazy stereotype of Scouse scallies being nasty little violent scroats.

In the latest extract from his autobiography, as serialised in The Daily Mirror, Jamie tells a charming tale about the company he keeps.

'When my leg was broken in an horrific tackle by Lucas Neill in September 2003, my mates were ready to hunt him down if I gave the go-ahead.

'A few weeks later I received a phone call. “You won’t believe this, Jay. We’re in the Trafford Centre and Lucas Neill is walking straight towards us. What do you reckon?”

'Did I really want Neill to take a crack? “There’s only one problem,” added the voice. “Little Davey Thommo is with him.”

'That was that. I could hardly let one of my best mates, David Thompson, now a Blackburn player, become a witness to an assault. Besides he’d have recognised the attackers. The impromptu mission was aborted and I sent a text to Thommo telling him Neill should give him a hug of thanks.

‘As word got back to Blackburn about the near miss, or should that be hit, their coach Terry Darracott, a Scouser, appealed to one of my friends to call the boys off. I agreed.’

Nice.

There was an extract the other day about him doing Rigobert Song in training, ala Keane and Haaland. Must have a search for it.

jesus when you think back liverpool bought some fairly shit footballers in the late 90’s and early 00’s…rigobert sing and titi camara are two that spring to mind…

The Great Professional
Jamie Carragher. A man hailed by all and sundry for his honesty, down-to-earthness and professionalism.

Even the great Stevie Gerrard said so in March: “It’s a wonderful record for Carra to have and I’m sure he will go on to break even more records in the future because he is a top professional who always looks after himself and who always gives 100% in every game.”

Interesting. What then, to make of the following excerpt from Honest Carra’s autobiography, as serialised in The Daily Mirror today, in which he discusses former Liverpool teammate Rigobert Song:

'He strolled off to his French speaking friends and began talking to them. I could see him pointing towards me while everyone was grinning. It was clear what he was saying and the rage inside me simmered.

'Later, Song walked on to the training pitch with a smile on his face. He was limping off it with a grimace an hour later. The first chance I got, I did him. Never have I hunted down a 50-50 tackle with greater appetite

“You’re not f*ing laughing now are you, you soft tt?” I said as he hobbled away.

‘Did I care he had a knock? No way. I don’t remember him or anyone else in the squad for that matter trying to take the p*ss out of my ability again.’

The More The Merrier
More lovely stuff from Carra, who adds his two-penneth to the immigration debate in his weighty tome:

‘I’ve got two brothers who find it hard to work in Liverpool in this Capital of Culture year. One of the reasons is we’ve made it too easy for foreigners to come here and take the jobs.’

Number of foreigners for whom Liverpool Football Club have made it easy to get work as first-team footballers: 44.

I wouldnt call it Keane on Haaland, Haaland wasn’t a team mate of Keanes.

Why the fuck do footballer bring out autobiogs when they’re still playing?

Idiot.

Liverpool are Scum.

scumbag pure & simple

Stupid things for Carragher to be coming out with. To be honest, they all sound like bullshit stories, and if true, they are nothing to be proud of. Seems to me like he is trying ot make it as controversial as he can. No one sells books talking about how training went and travelling to games on airplanes blah blah blah.

aye, coz there is such a difference to Manchester United.

Carragher was dead right to break up that useless fucker Song.

Camara did alright with Liverpool - he was never top class but he scored a few goals at least…

dont the pool fans have some chant about it.

ken mcgrath didnt have the same luck some months after he broke gerry quinn’s hand in croke park a few years back. clare were playing waterford in a u21 match in dungarvan the next spring. the bould ken was spotted at a petrol station by some of the clare players. needless to say blood was spilled and a few were proclaimed ‘heroes’ on their return to ennis.

ive heard this story numerous times so there is at least a ring of truth to it. a nice one to bring up in the week thats in it

11

I always hated Carragher. I often wondered why he supported The Huns and his views on immigration tally in with most supporters of theirs so it makes more sense now.

12

No.

Liverpool’s track record in being Scum speaks for itself.

16

Ah yea, shur why not break up a team mate on a training ground just because you’re too dumb to understand what he was saying or having the necessary intelligence or IQ to have it out with him face to face.

Carragher also said that losing with England never meant as much to him as losing with Liverpool. This guy is an idiot.

I wouldnt call Liverpool scum, this has nothing to do with the Club as an entity, just Carragher, who is coming out of this like a fucking tool. For him not to have the intelligence to see this coming reflects even worse on him.

17

I’m with Farmer on this one. If Song had something to say about Carragher why didn’t he say it to his face instead of giggling about it with his girlfriends.

I fookin hate those bellends that laugh at people behind their back. Song deserved his kicking

18

Why is that idiotic? He obviously hadn’t the same passion for England. He was also treated very poorly by English managers

19

How long has Caragher’s book been out? I haven’t heard much abuse about it for him in the media…

You worship Keane dont ya MBB? What about his challenge on Haaland? Song most probably was slagging him off in French like the coward he was so he deserved everything he got coming to him…

And what is wrong with saying Liverpool mean more to him than England? I would think that is fairly logical that your own parochial club would mean more than your country…

20

Much and all as I like Carragher I can’t understand what he’s at releasing a book while he’s still playing. He’s one fella I would have thought wouldn’t have been into the autobiography culture, and it’s is totally at odds with the charity work etc he does locally with no song and dance about it.

Some of the extracts are cringeworthy too, much and all Lucas Neill and Song are pricks. This shit goes on at all clubs in all sports. It’s like he’s trying too hard for it to be controversial. No need for it. Likewise the shit about him supporting Everton when he was younger, why come out with that when you’re still playing.

The England stuff is totally understandable, considering he got fucked around playing with them, and a good proportion of Scousers (and Mancs) couldn’t give a flying fuck about England. Look at any cup final involving Liverpool where they sing YNWA over god save the queen. There will be as big a party in Liverpool as in Ireland when Thatcher finally croaks it.

To summarise, as I’ve said with Keane and all the rest, why fucking bother bringing out a book while you’re still playing?
