We do have some exceptionally dense individuals contracted to us on the playing side. It’s no wonder so many of them seem to lack even the most basic of football intelligence, it’s because they’re thick as pig shit generally. Another one inked in on Holden’s dickheads list.
The 'no dickheads' rule should get rid of a lot of our squad.
Bonne the other week, now Gilbey. Is there a more braindead section of society than football players?
Unfortunately it's OUR players. There's murmurings that the "culture" is all wrong at our place and has been for years, and stuff like this only goes to emphasise the fact that we have a load of c**ts on our books.
I find it hard to believe that video is what it sounds. Why would players and fans of a small club in Herts(they may be a big club in Herts!) sing about a small club in London(we are now) just hours after gaining promotion to League 1 ?
Alex Gilbey's contract runs out in June so he is history but what is the context to that footage. Have Cafc fan/critics struck again on social media and made personal vile attacks ? Bonne, Gilbey who's next ? Charlton fans/critics are like an Ex wife scorned; they just don't want you to find happiness.
I assumed Gilbey had private issues when he went from MoM against Ipswich at the Valley and some of the highest marks given on CL to the unconfident player that appeared to want to be sent off at the Valley after two of the most pointless yellow cards I have ever seen.
Another apparent good signing: 25 year old with potential improvement that never quite happened.
Gilbey and Evans must've told some stories(true probably) for that video to be kosher.
Oh for the days when Curbs met with players to suss them out as people as well as footballers to make sure they fitted into his ways of doing things. At that point we wasn’t rolling in money compared to our PL rivals so had to be clever with our recruitment. I can’t see why the same can’t apply now just on a lower level. I suppose in part it’s an inevitability of the black box recruitment. Can’t see things changing very much if I’m honest.
A bit different from the Bonne situation as Bonne is OUR player at the moment. Gilbey is out of contract, and obviously not coming back, indeed I imagine he'll sign permanently for Stevenage as it's worked out perfectly for him.
That famous cliché BUT he has just been part of a team promoted from League 2 which is more than the players we purchased from Swindon in the Summer achieved.
I understand you never rated him even when he had the good spell under JJ, when Johnnie Jackson was caretaker and players like him and Purrington played their best football.
I definitely don't want Alex Gilbey back as he has found a club he appears happy at and I struggled with him after the crazy self inflicted red card.
@Scoham his contract is up in June so only coming back to Sparrows to clear out his locker and say goodbye to the tea lady.

And these are the same Swindon players I also get told, could be okay, just not seen the best of them, good back up. I’m not aiming that at you, it’s just the general detritus that oohaah points out above. Gilbey had some okay moments, but they were very few and far in between. I know he hasn’t improved on his goal record at Stevenage, but perhaps his all round game is more effective at that level.
Would love to know what his reasons are for hating Charlton.
He joined the club and was made a fairly regular first teamer, who then didn't deliver consistently under multiple managers. The fans didn't give him too much of a hard time or single him out for anything from what I recall.
I expect some of it comes down to frustration with the way our club was being run when he was here, which would be understandable. But to go and do that so openly just reeks of a lack of class.
Makes you wonder what planet some of these players are on, particularly a few we've had this season.

Well, I had this chap's number the whole time all right
Have Stevenage invented a rivalry?
JJ said he was surprised we let him go? Ok mate

Quite a weird song to sing though.

we’ve got the best non playing squad in the world, it’s just when they’re on the pitch they’re utter garbage
What were they singing?
Another one to put on Deans dickhead list with Bonne, we do attract them!
