How fat will Hartson be now he has retired?
Add comment February 7th, 2008
There was a time, when the Welshman was banging in goals at West Ham and Wimbledon, when people questioned the wisdom of Arsene Wenger’s decision to let John Hartson go. Now that he has retired aged just 32, citing a lack of desire to go into training, Arsene can feel pretty vindicated by one of the first decisions he made upon arriving at Arsenal.
The photo above shockingly exposes the condition Hartson had allowed himself to get into. The striker, like many sickeningly fat people, blames external factors rather than his own greed and laziness:
“I have been fighting my weight for 12 years. I can’t have a burger without putting on half a stone.”
Never mind that fact that that’s physiologically impossible:
JOHN: YOU’RE A FOOTBALLER – YOU SHOULDN’T BE EATING BURGERS.
One wonders how he managed to continue for this long with an attitude like that. And then one remembers: he played in Scotland.
There isn’t much else news around, because International football is rubbish. Emmanuel Adebayor has been named Arsenal’s Player of the Month for January, taking over 70% of the vote. But more importantly, he’s still Top Gunn.
Today our players will be returning from International duty so Arsene can assess the damage. However bad our injury situation might be, I don’t think Hartson need wait by the phone. See you tomorrow.
