Like his comment that it was to give youngsters a chance. Yea right as if he was ever going to be picked again after last time.

The man is a grade A knobhead.
Hopefully he will sign up with ITV for punditry work on internationals.
I don't watch ITV beacuse of Adrian Chilies, so it will give me another reason not to watch it.

In my day a few years ago some kids became footballers 'cos they were too thick to get a proper job. It's good the media are now employing some of our finest.

Oh please. Anyone who played as long as he did for England and Man U and during his best years (which are now behind him) could have played for pretty much any of the top clubs in Europe is not "Mediocre at best." Nonsense.

D’ya think some BBC luvvie thought, “Brazil… Rio…

Agreed a centre half with class who because of his reading of the games rarely has to make a proper tackle. If our academy could create defenders like him we have a great future

And on the pitch these days. He was truely appalling on Tuesday night.
Rio Ferdinand
I agree. Think England had a result when he retired in the summer, I am sure Roy would of picked him for the WC. Think Terry could still do a job though, but that is more of a reflection on Jagielka and Cahill's ability than anything.
Rio Ferdinand
He has been a very good player no doubt but it is clear ( like several Manu players) that he is now past his best. Retirement on the horizon maybe as can't see him and his ego playing at a lower level
Moyes needs a large clear out of Fergie has beens in January if he is to turn it around at old Trafford.

It'll be interesting to see how many of the David Beckham "super-millionaire" generation turn their hands to management...hopefully none, for the good of the game. Unfortunately that leaves time free for punditry.

Missing that drugs test should have ended his career though. Terrible role model now tarnished with racism issues.

Yeah a guy with over 400 appearances for the most successful club in England (which he also captained), 80 England caps (which he also captained), 6 Premier League titles, a Champions League winners medal, who made it in to the FIFA world XI previously and also made the top 10 defenders in the world list 5 times. He's rubbish, Fergie really knows how to pick the sh*t ones. rofl rofl rofl
I am not saying he is the best ever, far from it, but he was class in his prime and one of the top defenders in the world. Better not mention John Terry, Brentford reserves at best I'm guessing? lol
Rio Ferdinand
I am not a Rio fan by any means, like I said I think he is a nob, but this is going to sound like it as I'm going to defend him again
. If you know the facts around that drug test and still think he should of been given a lifetime ban then I can only guess you have a personal vendetta against him. I agree with the racism stuff, he really made himself look like a mug. Anyone can shine a positive spin on JT must be ****.

What facts ?
Rio is a lippy **** who has been put in his place more than once down the years.

I agree, like I already said he's a ****. Great player though.
He missed a urine test, which I think goes back 1 month, possibly shorter. He had been at training and went shopping but realized his mistake and went back but the testers refused to see him. He was tested the next day, was found clean and also offered to do a hair follicle test which would trace any drug use back 6 months, however the FA refused. You could argue 8 months was harsh, especially when a Man City player did the same thing around that time and was only fined 2 grand and no ban.
Rio Ferdinand
Yeah okay, I give up, he is crap lol. I doubt you could find a pundit, footballer or ex-footballer that would agree with you, but you experts carry on

Was he bolloxs lol Unlikable maybe, but considered amongst experts in the game (here and abroad) to be one of the best centre halves this country has ever produced.

Who was the Man City player who missed a test like RF?
Was following the story and didn't see this either at the time or since.

Quite different from being best in the world given our appalling international standing. Rio was never a truly world class player given he was always prone to one mistake a hand guaranteed.

A racist who forgets drug tests who then abandons his country to work for foreign media faking injury issues.

We've had loanees from Fulham and self confessed QPR fans in the team so Rio would not have been the most morally bankrupt.

Each to their own. At his best I thought he was in the top 10 centre halves in the world.
