    Nothing wrong with him. He just has too much pride in himself worries too much about what people think of him. If I had lapsed and eaten a kebab, I too would refuse to give a breath sample out of consideration for the poor police officer.

    Do you know for a fact that he's an alcoholic or could it be that he's simply a thick twat?

    I'm sure that Caulker has severe problems.

    However, nobody can help him until he accepts that himself & he wants to change.

    I have seen nothing to sugest that he thinks he has done anything wrong.

    It seems this way to me too, Terry. Caulker should speak to Clarke Carlisle.

    A much younger Caulker mentioned in the Bristol press, back in his "loan star" days.

    In the game of musical chairs, we somehow ended up with him - I believe Harry's plan was for him to learn his trade from Rio F.

    Caulker, 25, who played for the Robins on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in the 2010/11 season, was arrested following an incident in a car park in Windsor in the early hours of this morning.

    The Queens Park Rangers defender – who has also played for Yeovil Town, Swansea City, Cardiff City, Southampton and Liverpool – had been reported to have completed a loan move to Lokomotiv Moscow during the January transfer window, but the deal fell through.

    The defender, who earns a reported £40,000 a week, has been bailed to appear at Slough Magistrates Court on March 27.

    A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: "We can confirm that Steven Caulker, ages 25, of Richmond, has been charged with failing to provide a specimen for breath analysis required under the Road Traffic Act 1988."

    I think that rather than condemn him we should all reach out to him. He is clearly a troubled individual deserving of our sympathy and love, not scorn and derision.

    Maybe if the club wasn't pissing away £40k a week on his wages.

    if he does have a problem with alcohol then the club need to help him.
    However, if he is doing this as he appears to have no future at our club, then we should get rid.
    He has talent - but has yet to show that is worth the expensive transfer or wages we paid for him.

    He has a disease and needs help, let's hope his next club gives it to him!

    He can well afford his own help. The guy should take responsibility for his own life. Get rid at the soonest opportunity.

    This recent behaviour reminded me a John Cooper-Clarke poem. Bit harsh but....


    • Like a night-club in the morning, you're the bitter end.

      Like a recently disinfected lavatory, you're clean 'round the bend.

      You give me the horrors, too bad to be true

      All of my tomorrows are lousy cos of you

    • You put the Shat in Shatter
      Put the Pain in Spain
      Your germs are splattered about
      Your face is just a stain

      You’re certainly no raver, commonly known as a drag.
      Do us all a favour, here... wear this polythene bag.

      You’re like a dose of scabies,
      I’ve got you under my skin.
      You make life a fairy tale... Grimm!

      People mention murder, the moment you arrive.
      I’d consider killing you if I thought you were alive.
      You’ve got this slippery quality,
      it makes me think of phlegm,
      and a dual personality
      I hate both of them.

      Your bad breath, vamps disease, destruction, and decay.
      Please, please, please, please, take yourself away.
      Like a death a birthday party,
      you ruin all the fun.
      Like a sucked and spat our smartie,
      you’re no use to anyone.
      Like the shadow of the guillotine
      on a dead consumptive’s face.
      Speaking as an outsider,
      what do you think of the human race

      You went to a progressive psychiatrist.
      He recommended suicide...
      before scratching your bad name off his list,
      and pointing the way outside.

      You hear laughter breaking through, it makes you want to fart.
      You’re heading for a breakdown,
      better pull yourself apart.

      Your dirty name gets passed about when something goes amiss.
      Your attitudes are platitudes,
      just make me wanna piss.

      What kind of creature bore you
      Was is some kind of bat
      They can’t find a good word for you,
      but I can...
      TWAT.

    I saw him at the Festival Hall supporting New Order. Life and Keith Allen were on the bill. Great night

    Really disappointing to read this

    Could have really bolstered our options in Defence if he came back with the right attitude, as I think this division suits him, but he obviously needs help.

    If Caulker is really earning £40k a week and squandering his talent in the manner he so chooses, then he has no sympathy from me.
    Please, he is not ill, he is probably just another ar5ehole with too much attitude.
    This seems to happen frequently when you give a young (and very often, naturally dim person) a lot of money and too much unearned reverence.
    All first and second (and 3rd & 4th?) tier professional footballers in the UK are staggeringly fortunate to have the opportunities for both career and financial reward that are open to them.
    There are far more deserving people and there are far, far more needy people.
    Caulker is not a victim, or one to be pitied.
    The starving people of Sudan can be pitied, the people in cancer wards can be pitied.
    Sorry, but I find the sort of reported behaviour from the likes of Caulker (and, dare I say, Taraabt) abhorrent.
    They have no apparent appreciation of the deeply privileged world in which they exist.

    All this is so true, never a truer word spoken
    However if he is under the shadow of alcholism, that is an addiction, which takes a lot of desire and help to overcome....He needs to show a need to overcome it...but it is still a disease/addiction

    He needs help

    is it not embarrasing enough that he was caught dogging in a car park without being accused of being an alchoholic

    The most we are allowed to fine him is £80,000 according to one of the websites ( 2 weeks wages) Sounds like a lot, till you realise he can still earn £80,000 that month. The money, the idleness and his demons will continue to tempt him.
