david in sweden Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 .yes it is Saints related as he's a former local lad, and a well-respected, star player in our 2000+ Premiership days...even 90K a week (it seems) won't necessarily make you a happy man. Reports say he's on the move again ..to a struggling Villa side, and it seems that he's had a difficult time ever since he left. At Chelsea, he was up against two team-mates ; Ashley Cole battling for a team place and an international spot. then a devastating injury and then John Terry for " previously over-publicised personal problems." - not to mention a manager who didn't like his defenders "attacking style" of play. (Gareth Bale had the same trouble at Spurs with a similar manager - before Harry arrived to give him a proper chance). Now Mancini is likely to get rid of him, too. If Wayne moves ..again, he may hopefully start to get a change of footballng fortune. Good Luck Wayne.

Hatch Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Poor lad, gutted for him, £90,000+ a week and ****ging a famous pop star off some girl group. Tough life.

Saint Stimp Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Surely this thread should be about Andrew Surman? Only played 8 or 9 times for Wolves and now only 5 for Norwich. I don't think I've got much sympathy for a millionaire playboy premiership footballer.

Not only is he minted, but he's knobbing the cute one out of The Saturdays.
Colbury Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Who is he smashing? Frankie from the saturdays.
saint_stevo Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 I would drag myself through 100's of yards of AIDS infected smashed glass to be in his position right now.
Saint Stimp Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 That's because Surman is injured! Thought he recovered a while ago, in November? If he's still out that's still a better reason to feel sorry for him over Bridgey going off on loan to Villa.
david in sweden Posted 8 January, 2011 Author Posted 8 January, 2011 I dont feel sorry for him. Not only is he minted, but he's knobbing the cute one out of The Saturdays. Oh well ..that makes it alright then.. I suppose (?). All my sympathies for out-of-luck footballers, sitting on the bench is obviously misplaced!
Tokyo-Saint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Plus he struts around on a hog with SWP like some kind of helps angel. He doesn't exactly look like he dreads going to work on a Monday morning.
Deppo Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Maybe we could start a charity which organises a run out in a game every couple of weeks for the poor lad? Honestly, I don't know how he copes day to day with his heavy burden.
OldNick Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 I would drag myself through 100's of yards of AIDS infected smashed glass to be in his position right now. can you catch it twice, thats the risk you have to take
benjii Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Oh well ..that makes it alright then.. I suppose (?). All my sympathies for out-of-luck footballers, sitting on the bench is obviously misplaced! Yes, it is.
positivepete Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 That's because Surman is injured! Yes, he was injured most recently in a collision with the Ipswich keeper and defender in the derby match. Back by the end of the month I hear
L1Minus10 Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Bridgey decided not to be a footballer when he settled for being 2nd choice at a big club for the past 6 years during what should have been the best years of his career, as well as being in the papers for the girls he's dating all the time. Haven't got much time for him any more to be honest.
John B Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Poor lad, gutted for him, £90,000+ a week and ****ging a famous pop star off some girl group. Tough life. Yes I was going to say the same Feeling Sorry for Footballers is ridicioulous
um pahars Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Poor lad, gutted for him, £90,000+ a week and ****ging a famous pop star off some girl group. Tough life. Beat me to it, so no point reposting. He will still be earning mega wonga, enjoyiong his social life and playing in the top flight, so can't see why we should be that sorry for him. Now if he had had a career shortening injury or a loss in his personal life, then that would be a different story. He's made a decent wedge, represented his country, plyed his trade in the top flight and won some silverware, something that thousands of footballers (and millions of us ordinary idiots) could only dream about.
SNOWY Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Poor lad, gutted for him, £90,000+ a week and ****ging a famous pop star off some girl group. Tough life. and weekends off. Can't be bad

Haven't got much time for him any more to be honest. This - lost any respect for him as a footballer when he signed a new contract at Chelsea with Ashley Cole already there. Could have pushed for a regular England spot but lost any chance when he effectively showed he was happy to play second best. But then maybe 90k a week is more important than playing week in week out.

The days when there was much competition for places seems long gone..whatever you think about Beckham..at least HE has a little ambition left.
saint_bert Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 I would drag myself through 100's of yards of AIDS infected smashed glass to be in his position right now. Best post ever
Micky Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Wayne was great for us, record number of consequetive games while he played for us, or something like that. Unfortunately since he got his 'big move' his focus seems to have been lost somewhat, and appears happy to play second fiddle to others. It's sort of the same as Michael Owen at Man U - in most other clubs he would probably be a regular starter - but he appears happy to sit and take the money. Sad really, I really liked Bridgey when he played for us, but since his move(s) he appears more happy to have been payed as opposed to have been played.
verlaine1979 Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 I don't think I've watched Bridge play over the last 5 years or so, and not feared for him every single time he gets the ball in a defensive position. He always looks to me like he's scared of the ball, which considering how much he's played over that time, he probably is. Whatever ability he had is gone now, and I doubt very much that a change of team will do anything to bring it back.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Bridgey decided not to be a footballer when he settled for being 2nd choice at a big club for the past 6 years during what should have been the best years of his career, as well as being in the papers for the girls he's dating all the time. Haven't got much time for him any more to be honest. This. He decided that money was more important than playing. Thus is why F365 refer to him as a 'former' footballer. Plus, if you've ever met him, he's a *****.
sambosa75 Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Bless his cotton socks, poor little sausage. No way i can feel sorry for him but cant really blame him for going where the money is either. I'd stop watching football for £90k a week, let alone play it!
Fan The Flames Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Bridgey decided not to be a footballer when he settled for being 2nd choice at a big club for the past 6 years during what should have been the best years of his career. This.
Stu Man Do Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Oh well ..that makes it alright then.. I suppose (?). All my sympathies for out-of-luck footballers, sitting on the bench is obviously misplaced! 90k a week for training? Yeah he's really fallen on hard times! Much as I like Bridgey and do look out for hows he doing I don't have any sympathy for his situation I'd happily take half his wage for the year let alone a week!
Saints Fan Dan Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 Always hoped one day he would come back and finish his career with us.
saint_stevo Posted 8 January, 2011 Posted 8 January, 2011 so do i, especially if he brings Frankie and she dont mind me cramming one up her greasy slot

If Wayne moves ..again, he may hopefully start to get a change of footballng fortune. Good Luck Wayne. I don't feel sorry for him at all! He's a guy who has never, since he left Saints, really worked to maximize his potential. He has coasted. He has taken the money, and not cared about being a back-up player. If he had really been interested in making the most of himself, he'd never have signed a new deal with Chelsea after they got Ashley Cole. He'd have forced a transfer to a club where he'd be first choice, and then worked to show Chelsea they were wrong. Instead, he took the money to sit on the bench. And he has gotten paid a sh*tload of money for turning up to train & then sitting on the bench. Why would you feel sorry for him?? What's to feel sorry about? He has to be the luckiest so-and-so in professional football: paid like a superstar for years, while never performing at superstar level! He's never been a great player since he left Saints because he hasn't been arsed to be: he took the money and ran. To hell with feeling sorry for him!
bender Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 I would drag myself through 100's of yards of AIDS infected smashed glass to be in his position right now. but you might get aids
Bentley Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 poor bastard If they get married, will they have a double barrel surname? Probably not.
Red&White Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 so do i, especially if he brings Frankie and she dont mind me cramming one up her greasy slot Tsk tsk ( made me laugh ! )
Red and White Army Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Only a bunch of ****s would slag Bridgey off for taking a shedload of money and not playing. How many of us would do the same? I would in a shot.
bender Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 Only a bunch of ****s would slag Bridgey off for taking a shedload of money and not playing. How many of us would do the same? I would in a shot. No one is slagging him off
Red and White Army Posted 9 January, 2011 Posted 9 January, 2011 No one is slagging him off Read the thread, plenty of mongs are.

If Wayne moves ..again, he may hopefully start to get a change of footballng fortune. Good Luck Wayne. He might be a local lad and an ex-Saint, but I really don't feel "sorry" for him. He's played a lot of top-flight football, earned a shed load of cash which will see him through comfortably until death, if it's been invested and not spoofed on material rubbish. There's nothing wrong with competition either! Good luck to him if he goes to Villa, would rather he was here, but that's not going to happen in the next year or so is it really? Certainly never on those wages!!
The9 Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 I would drag myself through 100's of yards of AIDS infected smashed glass to be in his position right now. Only because you've already got it. Damn, someone else beat me to it. The "joke", not teh Aids.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Read the thread, plenty of mongs are. No, people are just taking the **** out of the notion that we should feel sorry for a millionaire footballer.
Pancake Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 If they get married, will they have a double barrel surname? Probably not. .
Jones91 Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Its funny how you all seem to have forgotten his celebration when he scored against pompey...
Pancake Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 Its funny how you all seem to have forgotten his celebration when he scored against pompey... Eh? Im aware of his celebration and thakn him for it; just like Im thankful for the time he spent as a Saints player... but that doesnt make me feel sorry for the way his career has gone after he started to chase the cash rather than play the game.
Saint_Rick Posted 10 January, 2011 Posted 10 January, 2011 no sympathy for Wayne whatsoever, although seemingly a nice guy I get the impression from Chelsea/Man City/England that he has fallen out of love with football and is there just to pick up his fat paycheck
