Every team has a tw@t, ours is JT (Appreciation Thread)

I'm not always a fan of his antics, and really his behavior off the pitch is pretty pathetic, but I like JT. He leads by example on the pitch.

I was reading on ESPN about how Arsenal uses JT as code for an ugly chick when they are out. Really, what the feck has it come to.

Lets use this thread to build up the wanker, but he's our wanker.

 

I feel for the lad. Arsenal, use his name for a code word. I just can't believe how much here the guy gets. Some is deserved sure, but not all. The backlash he received from the CL celebration has been ridiculous. How can you fault the guy for celebrating with his team, who has worked his arse off. Yes he made an absolute bonehead mistake against Barcelona, but does that negate everything else he's done?

He's a lightning rod, and while some is surely warranted, not all is. He's like Tiger Woods. Bad person, great golfer. I don't care what he does during his free time. I care what he does on the pitch. It has nothing to do with whether or not I'd hang out with him.

There Keane and Suarez and countless others. JT may be a dick, but he's our captain, the man needs some support.

 

I realize the title could use a tweak, but I had a couple to drink and had just read the ESPN article.

 

It was the afternoon on a Sunday. The missus said it was okay!

The article did piss me off.

 

I'm no longer on the sauce. I don't have anything useful to add, not that I ever do anyways.

 

If anyone knows how to get rid of the thread, by all means.
