http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/ ... ts-1751490 Just want you want when you've had the ****test season of your career PR department obviously as deluded as the dippers themselves When Liverpool came up with the, perhaps not carefully thought out, idea of hosting a Twitter Q&A with Stewart Downing they obviously didn't think it would become a field day for the haters loitering in cyberspace. Instead of gentle questions such about who was the biggest dressing room joker or who is the most difficult defender to play against (probably all of them), the #askdowning thread was besieged by fans making fun of the player even we refer to as LEFT WING JESUS in our MirrorFootball Twitter feed. Downing has had a torrid time at Anfield since his £20million move from Aston Villa, which included failing to score a single goal or assist last season and being publicly criticised by manager Brendan Rodgers at the beginning of this campaign. Here are a selection of some of the wise cracks aimed at the Reds winger: @DualeAdam1 If you were a footballer, what would your preferred position be? @Liam Payne ?Payny_01 How did you feel last season knowing Tim Howard was closer to lifting the golden boot than you? @BillHansen28 So you left Aston Villa for Champions League football. How's that working out for you? ?@McFarlaneJordan A re you the only professional footballer to be neither footed? @Notcarlcole On a scale of 1 to Jesus, how good are your crosses? @Dave B MUFC ?Bowsy_How did it feel to have more arrests than assists last season? @arpan_manutd Do you know any footballer (except you) who is neither footed? @Jon Barbuti Which Premier League bench is the comfiest? @Fergie's Hairdryer How do you get to the other side of the road when you don't know how to cross? @marc sepetowski ?sepo_efc Do you consider yourself to be just as bad as jordan henderson? @?JacobCampbell5 Did you pick number 19 because you knew it would take about 19 months before you did anything of any kind of use ? @?Abdn_Horror_Guy If you were to transfer away from Liverpool, how many goats and cows would your new club receive in the dowry to take you? @?lloydturner1 How do you ignore all this abuse and carry on day to day ? #respect
That's quite harsh, although like you say you have to question Liverpool's judgement sending out perhaps the biggest flop in their current squad as a PR exercise. I guess that'll be another Liverpool PR manager getting sacked in the morning...
Gtf. None more deluded than City fans or Mancini, you fella's looking down your noses at everyone(including Utd), even with a free stadium and mega rich owners your still ****e. If you're looking for 'delusion' here's some.

Nice attempt to switch the focus from Liverpool to City But who would ever think that a Downing Q&A over twitter would be a good idea, asking for trouble!
Couldn't give a flying one about Downing's twitter **** up tbh, i just find City followers arrogance funny.
Free stadium? Paid more in rent than the population combined of Liverpool have contributed to the taxman. Bet you'd love to have our owners and be second in the league & off to Wembley Unlike the odious bindipper we back our manager,the hounding out of Hodgson was nothing short of a disgrace to be replaced by the tshirt wearing bigot backer Think you'll find all of Manchester looks down their noses at you
I do love the irony of Page's comment, given Liverpool inherited their stadium from Everton True dat. We do it whilst we're lining up to piss in the Mersey to make sure Liverpool never loses that unique atmosphere
Haha they obviously haven't learned from a similar one that they had for Enrique last season which was invaded by Newcastle fans.
