    I doubt there's a Premier League player that doesn't get abusive Twitter messages. No one forced anyone to close their Twitter account.

    How is that not an abuse? We all know he isn't good, even he himself knows it, but that doesn't mean he should stop trying and take all the **** from every Tom Dick and Harry. Football just seems to bring out this inhuman animalistic behaviour in people. Maybe we should just ban this game and then our society will be more productive than wasting their time on this stupid game. Haha, ok that was a little over the top.

    Surely a petition is the nicest and most civilised way to show sentiment. If everyone could do as they please he'd probably have a house covered in **** and eggs.

    Admittedly, anything negative about any player is unlikely to be helpful but for most this is just a bit of fun borne out of frustration that such a phenomenally average player gets picked.

    Do you think people despise Tom Cleverley? Will we be seeing Tom Cleverley effigies burning a barely visible flame which only burns sideways and backwards?

    Cleverly is just not there yet, the injury didn't help. Shame for the lad as he was coming along nicely until then. But lets face it, not cutting it is not cutting it. The petition is stupid though Woy should also note that Cleverly has not earned a place at the finals.

    If they're making a petition about him then yeah.

    So was Darron Gibson....when he was a United player, due to a use from United 'fans'

    Twitter is a haven for bell ends and cranks

    That's true, he was looking to be a promising player in aroudn the days when we beat Arsenal 8-2 and then a big injury came, he was out for quite a few months, after that he was never the same.


    It's Woy's fault for picking Cleverley when he's in a poor form. The petition was a stupid thing to do, possibly created by some immature teenager

    If they despised him they would put excrement through the letterbox and spit at him in the street. Nobody despises him, Matth, they just don't rate him as a footballer (does anybody? I suppose you think he's world class) hence something as passive and peaceful as a petition.

    Good enough for a World Cup squad with four or maybe five central midfielders when competing with Wilshere, Gerrard, Lallana, Henderson, Barkley, Carrick, Chamberlain, Milner and more? He shouldn't be anywhere near that squad. If he played for West Brom he'd be on exactly 0 caps.

    He's ****ing crap. He shouldn't be anywhere near the England squad, however, the petition is the work of dickheads

  18. Anyone got any idea roughly how many football fans there are around the world? In the grand scheme of things, I'm guessing 10,000 would be a minute amount that wouldn't even start to get lose to be one percent!
