There’s being controversial and then there’s being downright ridiculous.
And Mr Stanley Collymore fits into both categories given the former striker’s own history in the game.
He is providing a perfect example of a man with a short term memory problem after a difficult career which saw him join eight teams in 11 years and later find himself at the centre of some very unpleasant headlines.
So when he claims, as he has done in the Mirror, that ‘Marko Arnautovic doesn’t have a personality you could rely on ‘ it’svery reasonable reasonable to look at his own.
He adds in the meantime: “It’s the fact that when he does do it on the pitch, he feels he deserves better than the Hammers. It’s looking a lot like the Dimitri Payet situation to me.”
So let’s take a look at his own personality – as reported in Wiki – particularly as he explained in his biography that he has been diagnosed with his own borderline personality disorder.!
Here’s the Wiki description beyond that:
Collymore had a relationship with Ulrika Jonsson which ended after he punched her in The Auld Alliance bar in Paris on 9 June 1998 on the eve of the Scotland v Brazil opening football match at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.[37][38][39] Since talking in 1999 for the first time about his experience of depression,[40] he has supported the charity Depression Alliance.[41]
In 2004, Collymore was accused of taking part in dogging at Cannock Chase by an undercover News of the World reporter.[42] He lost his job at BBC Radio 5 Live over the incident.
He is a supporter of Republic, a campaign group that campaigns for an elected UK head of state.[43][not in citation given] He supported the Labour Party before leaving them for the Scottish National Party in December 2015 after a notable minority of Labour MPs supported airstrikes in Syria.[44]
Thanks Stan I think for now we’ll try to find a better judge of Arnie’s personality than you!
Labour and then SNP, says it all about him really
