DISQUS

that's pretty insensitive or just ignorant to list Lescott . The guy was hit by a car as a small child, and that funny haircut is actually just scars.

Its one thing to chant a bird shit in your hair another to make fun of someone's childhood scars.


yes well done

Thank you for your constructive feedback, Patrick.

I was unaware of Lescott's injury. I will perform an exhaustive inquest into the childhood of every one I write about for this site before ever hazarding a joke again.

Apparently typing someones name into Wikipedia would exhaust you. Catch your breath before you respond.

tyduffy · 11 months ago

Yes, because wikipedia is a treasure trove of factual information. I go there as well for my Djimi Traore statistics and my latest updates about the Masal Bugduv transfer saga.

or watching Everton EVER.

I'm NO Everton fan but I watch football, and they talk about things like that. what next Tevez' scar?

You clearly do not watch that much football. and frankly the list wasn't that great.


I support WHU, and this is funny...

the contents of Bellamy's locker.
A Banjo - for his beloved George Formby impressions on the away coach trips.
A very well thumbed A-Z road map of the UK.
A signed copy of The Wanderer.
Golf clubs - slightly bent.
A pair of discarded insoles.
A booster chair.
A copy of 'How To Control Your Anger Before It Controls You' with several pages ripped out.
A cell phone with a half written text message to Alan Shearer.

Yes, Patrick, you are correct. I obviously don't watch any football. My not knowing/caring how an Everton defender got his scar is prime evidence of that.

I write for this website solely to annoy people such as you with my dearth of knowledge and intellect.

thin skin much?

My first comment was more of disgust. Like making fun of someone's handicap. So you fire back full barrell that you didn't know and that its a joke.

but if you are going to be a journo, and you make such a joke in a paid position. you will get fired for it.

that's reality.

so if you wanna act snarky and cool about it, fine.

your loss. could have just said admited your bad and moved on.

no one is perfect but seriously Lescott is an England international. Everyone knows about his scar. Like tevez'.

and I just noticed this

"Tyler Duffy, 23, graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in History. He currently resides in Boston where he is pursuing an M.A. in Journalism from Northeastern University"

And YOU want a masters in Journalism? wow.

Jesus christ, loosen up everyone! Since when is an article about absurd hair styles supposed to be held to the most rigorous journalistic standards?

tyduffy · 11 months ago

Amen. I understand not finding me funny, but is it really warranting a personal attack?

Django · 11 months ago

Article was fine, I got a chuckle...I doubt the Lescott comment was malicious in any way. I love reading the comments on this site, hypocrites abound. What if Craig Bellamy's anger was the result of a childhood trauma or trying to deal with the death of a loved one? All of a sudden your joke becomes wildly offensive, eh Patrick? But it's okay because you wrote it, or because you didn't know, or because you didn't mean anything by it, or because you support West Ham blah blah blah. Plus, it's sad about the injury, but objectively, Lescott does have bad hair. To hell I go!

Bill, I've seen your hair on Facebook - I trust it will not stop you becoming an excellent journalist.

I have a quite reasonable coif, at least by east village standards...
