He was average at the best of times, the only reason he's on that show is coz he gambled all his money away. The clown!

bit rich coming from the toilet thief
 
Merson is a thick twat, but I don't think Magic can really complain about his comments, he has only had a handful of decent displays this season, and was truly abject againt Blackburn
 
Whats Merson (a thouroughly brainless creature) said to elicit this response from Johnson?

Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson has hit out at former Arsenal player Paul Merson, calling him an "alcoholic drug abuser" on Twitter.

The outburst, which has since been deleted from Johnson's Twitter page, was in response to criticism from Merson on Sky Sports show 'Soccer Saturday', as pundits analysed the dismissal of Roy Hodgson as Liverpool manager.

Merson said: "He [Hodgson] didn't have the luxury of a budget to spend £18 million on Glen Johnson, who can't defend for toffee, he's had to buy players from Fulham that he knew before.

"I don't think it's the players hanging their head in shame - I don't think they're good enough. Who would take their players if they were to go on sale tomorrow? Glen Johnson wouldn't go anywhere for 18 million quid."

Johnson responded on the social networking site Twitter, writing: "Comments from alcoholic drug abusers are not going to upset me and who is Paul Merson to judge players. He was average at the best of times, the only reason he is on that show is coz [sic] he gambled all his money away. The clown!"

The biography section of the Twitter account claims it is the: "Official page of Glen Johnson. Professional footballer Liverpool and England. Founder of GJ Soccer Schools and Glen Johnson Foundation". The page also carries a link to his official website.

Merson - who has admitted to having problems with alcohol and drugs in the past - was not alone in criticising Johnson and other Liverpool players for their efforts as Hodgson neared the exit door at Anfield.

Fellow pundit Matthew Le Tissier said: "Glen Johnson has not been good at all this season, and I've seen a few of the Liverpool games and I've not been impressed by him. There's just so many mistakes and such amateurish mistakes if you like.

"There's a lot of people in that dressing room who should be hanging their heads in shame with their effort to keep their manager in a job. It's not been good enough."

Former Arsenal and Scotland striker Charlie Nicholas added: "You mention Glen Johnson, and rightly so, but the manager - or the manager just gone - had a pop at him, and he got a bad reaction from Glen Johnson which was 'I might not stay here, I might think about going on'."

Phil Thompson, a former Liverpool player and assistant manager, said: "The players should be hanging their heads in shame, they need to start playing and earning their wages, no matter who is in charge. They're playing for a very well respected football club and they should be doing their very best every single week. Not enough of them have been doing it."

So what exactly has Merson said that's so offensive? Pretty much spot on if you ask me.
 
Johnson is a Liverpool and as shite as he's been recently, we should back him here not scold him.

Merson was an alcoholic drug abuser who wasn't ever really that good, so yeah, fuck him.
 
Johnson (and every other LFC player for that matter) should just shut the fuck up and do their talking on the pitch if they want to prove Merson is talking shite.

Yeah, suppose.

But I guess I just hate Merson and all the other bitter ex-Arse, Liverpool hating, sky sports commentators/journalists (c.ref A.Smith) sticking the boot in and revelling in our shiteness, right now.
 
If we're waiting for Johnson to be a decent defender I think we'll be waiting a long time. Move him to RM and get Kelly to do the defending. Merson is irrelevant.
 
I think it's good that players can have an outlet to hit back at some of the pricks on the TV.

Johnson is v average defender though.
 
BTW, on the subject of twitter wars, did anyone else see Times journalist (and wanker) Patrick Barclay and Rashid going at it yesterday? LOL

Give us it Gene please.
 
I don't know how. Just look it up. They exchanged 6 or 7 emails. Rashid tried to play the race card.

How many of you actually know what happened about the toilet seat story??? Know one beacause know one has ever heard me talk about it.
 
I went bnq with a mate who bought a bathroom set but it didn't have a slow close toilet seat so he changed it over then we went to paid..

We didn't know this toilet seat was £3 more expensive until the guy said, so we offered to pay the difference. But the guy was like u.

Have been caught trying to shop lift etc. We bust out laughing expecting Jeremy Beadle to jump up from behind the till. The guy...

was buzzin to make a scene and called the police. That's the story. What sort of thiefs go thru the checkout to pay haha come on.

The guy just wanted 5 mins of fame and that's it.

GlenJo should maybe keep his cakehole shut, but who is Paul Merson to talk about players and their attitudes.
Gigantic stones in glass houses.

Either way, agree with the Sheik. Keep it shut and perform on the pitch.
