Liverpool Need To Talk To Charlie Adam Before It’s Too Late

Image for Liverpool Need To Talk To Charlie Adam Before It’s Too Late

Good morning.

Brian Clough addressed his assembled new charges, the Leeds United players and told them, 

Well, I might as well tell you now. You lot may all be internationals and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Don Revie.

But as far as I’m concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest fcuking dustbin you can find, because you’ve never won any of them fairly.

You’ve done it all by bloody cheating. 

I was thinking about Charlie Adam and once the colourful stuff subsided I came to the conclusion he was an anachronism. In the 1960’s they would have called him Charlie ‘Chopper’ Adam – or something equally trite.

But the desperately sad thing is Adam wouldn’t have made grade to play for Revie. Adam has won nothing and it’s highly unlikely he ever will.

When I say nothing I meant nothing of any worth. He has a Carling Cup winners medal where Liverpool after what seemed like days eventually beat European heavyweights Cardiff City on penalties.

Adam’s main contribution you might recall was to hit his penalty kick past the goal with such force the ball eventually landed in a car park.

In Hammersmith. 

Cheating and getting nowhere has got to be even more lamentable than cheating and getting away with it.

Liverpool owner John Henry fired ‘King’ Kenny Dalglish for a number of reasons. One was certainly the commercial damage and general disrepute that was achieved by backing a racist. If Adam pulls another stunt like the tackle on Bale – that took place in a friendly – in a Premiership game …it’ll be Brendan Rodgers taking the call from the States. 

Adam’s disciplinary record isn’t in itself eye-watering. You start waving stats about and you automatically get involved in horse trading. No, this is just as when Wayne Rooney sees the red mist it’s the chilling execution of the fouls that is the cause for concern.

Liverpool Football Club used to win lots of medals and pots and pans but they won’t return to winning ways anytime soon employing cheats and thugs like Suarez and Adam. It won’t happen.

Adam needs to be sat down and told; the modern game is too fast and too athletic to accommodate ‘old fashioned’ hackers. And football needs to make sure that Adam is strictly monitored from hereon in, or someone’s going to have their career ended.

      I don’t think we are blaming the whole club; just the slimy piece of mould that needs cutting away from it and neutralised.

    • Ledge says:

      That’s a bold statement..

    • Sorry but just look at the evidence.
      You have no case.

      See how you feel, if we get gerard the same way, it was only a pre season friendly match, ffs, and adam took out our player, with a cowardly tackle, when we face him again, (whoever he plays for) we will take him out, we wont forget.

      the comfort you should take from this is that liverpool are held in high regard the length and breadth of the land, and we all expect the representatives of the club to uphold its traditions. tommy smith was hard but fair and not devious. souness was a hard taclkler and he never misbehaved at spurs because as soon as got close graham roberts took him out (who was the first player souness signed at rangers? yes roberts) but those days have passed and even in those days this shit is more a billy bremner than a tommy smith. nasty little shit who does indeed do things when he can with no threat of harm to himself. he is not worthy of the shirt and he besmiches the great name of the club; that is all
