I can't understand the lack of sympathy at all, it's baffling.
Guy who obviously isn't the brightest, on a downer after a short and incredibly high peak, addicted to various substances that are completely controlling his life. If he doesn't have the strength or the ability to change, I still feel really sorry for him and he deserves as many chances as it takes IMO.
I can't help but feel sorry for the bloke. I was talking about him today with a few lads from uni (An Arsenal fan, Spurs fan and a Man Utd fan) and none of them had a bad word to say about him. Two of them said they'd seen the video of him on stage the other night and it just upset them.
He optimises the loveable rogue, thats why nobody can ever get truly angry at him
