stalker Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Never mind the 12 years' service, eh? Can the Given haters - or the few who are old enough - tell me if they feel the same way towards Peter Beardsley (who left us right in the s**te when he went to Liverpool)? Like Given, Beardsley left because he wanted to. He was offered better money and went to a club he thought was better than Newcastle. Thats what professional footballers tend to do. Ironically the player who really did not want to leave but was to some extent pushed out was Chris Waddle, and yet he seemed to face more animosity after his departure being called Judas etc. Cos he's a mackem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with that, but I'm losing hope that Given would be offered the same courtesy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
