Wankers of 2015

So 2015 has been a topsy-turvy year for a few people this year. Highs and lows keeps all of us on our toes but I don't look at the unfortunate, i look at the people who asked for that spell of bad luck. It was hard to stick to football overall but i think i have done a half decent call with these.

5. Micheal Owen

I love seeing the tweets that get thrown onto my timeline when he commentates a football match. We all know he was an excellent player and that is one thing you cannot take from him. The guy won a Ballon'Dor! Growing up i loved him playing for England so he was one hell of a player. Pundit? Well, that'ss a different story. Very few manage to handle the transition from player to pundit and manage to do it well. Jamie Redknapp, Ian Wright, Gary Neville, Thierry Henry and at a push Jamie Carragher. But Micheal Owen and Robbie Savage? Most certainly not. The boring tone and the utter bollocks that makes me wish for his own sake, he keeps quiet. I have picked out some of his "best" quotes.

"You need people who score goals, that's how you win games."

"Wenger will be happy Arsenal have not conceded."

"That would have been a goal if it had gone inside the post."

4. Robin Van Persie

Not much reason for this one. He left a team where he would have been remembered as a legend but left for 1 medal and 1 good season. He now finds himself playing for Fenerbache looking miserable as shit every game while he rots in the Turkish league. That little boy didn't do you any favours did he, Robin?

3. Diego "C**t" Costa

Now we all know of this bastard and to be honest, i can't find a decent word for him. Since he signed for Chelsea i can only assume he is the premier league's most hated player. The best defender who has managed to tame this guy? Damien Delaney. He roughed Costa up and made him his bitch for 90 minutes. Beat him for every header, kick fuck out of him every tackle and proved that big bad Diego is just a bitch. Hats off to Delaney and i look forward to Gabriel having his second chance when Chelsea visit the Emirates.

Diego Costa is a world class......... Wanker! 

2. Roman Abramovich 

Now you may find this slightly odd but this guy sacked one of the best managers to grace this earth, Jose Mourinho. I did not like Mourinho but he is a talent we all love to hate. He has done extremely well in his career and unfortunately for him he lost the following of his players which i find c**tish. If i am paid 100K a week i do as i am fucking told. The squad ruined Mourinho and i can understand why the fans are upset but big Roman does call the shots but he has sacked a manager who will be missed by the premier league and for that he hits my top 5. 

1. Luis Van Gaal

As soon as i saw the press conference of him joining Manchester united i wished him the worse possible luck. I did not like him at all but at the same time, i am never going to like or wish anyone success at manchester united lets be honest. We all loved the fact that David Moyes was doing an awful job when he took over from Sir Alex Ferguson. The signing of Fellaini being one of his bad ideas. Van Gaal had a good world cup with Holland and i wasn't sure what to expect in all honesty but i never expected him to break records. 6 games for Manchester United without a win? Never saw that coming, but it did and I'm laughing my arse off. I'm sorry but he has to be my number 1 as everything he has said has come back to bite him. Even the tactic master resorted to route one Fellaini football for fuck sake. The thing with all this happening at Manchester united makes me feel like i have seen an old school bully end up working at a dead end job after years of being billy big bollocks. I love it.
