Can't see this anywhere else but the following quote is being attributed on twitter to our wonderful, former international, committed centre half.

Quote
"It's a relief to finally be relegated, it's been looming over us for weeks. The fans negativity hasn't helped this season. It's been a major factor. But, we'll have a good drink tonight then have a go at the last few games".

Is this genuine? Because if so, and frankly even if not:
Not half as big a relief as the day when you and your lazy, waste of space mates Gabby, N'Zogbia and Richards leave the club, Joleon. 'The fans negativity didn't help'? Which part were we meant to be positive about? The three wins all season? You messing around laughing and spitting gum while your team was losing? Your 'accidental' tweets of your new car to show how little you cared about your abject failure to be even vaguely competent at your job? Celebratory trips to Dubai because you've had such a tiring season? The club captain being so unfit in April he has to have a special fitness programme designed? The absolute epitome of why footballers today are universally despised. Just sod off Lescott and take most of our 'senior pros' with you. Twat.
Couldn't see it on his "official" account.
It better not be true. That said I'd not be surprised at all. I suspect Richards will have plenty to say in the coming weeks too.

I don't think it was a tweet, it was an interview.

He'll probably just claim his mouth was in his pocket and it accidentally went off anyway.

It's a wind up, move along nothing to see here. His sky interview with everything in context is fair enough.

Still crap though isn't he.

Do you know what really irritated me about his interview? It was his constant reference to criticism being 'part and part' of football. It's fucking part and parcel. Petty I know, but it just grated on me.

He can fuck right off. Never should he play again for us.

One thing I will say is, and this is the smallest defence, at least he spoke. Where the fuck was our captain?

He was captain today.

Our club captain was probably in a burger bar.

Not likely, he wouldn't fit.

Regardless of whether this latest one is him or not, he is the first one out of the door for me. He hasn't got it anymore and his attitude is cancerous. Problem is going to be finding someone to buy him and Bacuna, Nzogbia, Veretout, Cissokho etc.

I'd pay someone to take Richards and Agbonlahor off our hands before I worried about that lot.

For what it's worth I think Veretout and Cissokho wil be here next season and do OK.

Apparently Cissokho's agent has been chatting to Trabzonspor
