True. Just not sure that the players get as worked up about things like that

as we do.

I suspect that in the world of professional football there are a lot of tw*ts about with big ego's and lots of team mates probably don;t like each other but they do know a quality player when they see one and provided that player doesn't take the p**s and puts in the effort on matchdays they probably just get on with it.

Certainly the comments by Martin since Bassong came back and also tweets from the likes of Toffolo last night don;t suggest that Bassong is some kind of pariah. That said Martin is hardly going to come out and slate him in public.
