There are so many ridiculous things in that Pink Un piece about Etuhu

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

"he failed to reproduce the sort of form that made him such a hot prospect at Manchester City and Preston"

HOT PROSPECT?????? In his mum's eyes, maybe. But in the real world?

"the midfield man mountain"

Well it's a step up from calling him "6 foot 2 of Nigerian born muscle", but not a long step. OK, he's big. We can all see that. But midfield isn't an all-in wrestling match, Nigel. No, really. Honestly, it's not.

"Patience is now the key, that and hard work ... 'I've been working hard in training and I've been doing a lot of running and getting in my extras,' said Etuhu",

OH NO! HE'S CAUGHT THE "ARBEIT MACHT FOOTBALL" DISEASE!! Nigel to Doug: "Have you seen this week's ergonometer print-outs, Doug? Etuhu's come top! Most metres covered, highest calorie count! He's IN!!" Doug -"But he still can't complete a pass, Nige" Nigel - "What's that got to do with it?"

?It has been hard to come into the side and be who I am"

A rousing chorus of "Who are ya? Who are ya?" rings out. Maybe he's actually a talented football player in disguise?

Goebbels would have been proud of the Pink Un, it's pure propaganda bulls**t.
