Subjective I suppose. I wouldn't say he's in Mourinho, Pardew or Pearson's League in terms of ****ishness.

JohnnyG · 1 May 2015 at 15:42

Definitely subjective as I can listen to Pearson.
I can't stand the way he goes on about 'This Club' all the time, it's puke worthy.

BaZ87 · 1 May 2015 at 15:48

I can listen to Pearson too but he's still a ****. The rant the other night was just 1 of many incidents. There was the McArthur incident and the weird post match interview that followed, he told his own fans to **** off and die, and other press-conferences like the other night. The arrogance of the man is limitless.

Poor Rio Ferdinand

Losing your wife to cancer at such a young age must be awful.

Rich or poor, young or old, cancer will take anyone.

Horrible disease.

Yup just announced it on Soccer AM, Helen holding tears back.

Very sad news! Horrible disease!

Wow, I didn't even know she was fighting Cancer

Poor Rio and his kids

Kids aged 9, 6 and 4

Will no doubt retire with immediate effect.

Robbo · 2 May 2015 at 11:19

Very sad.

Horrible - Must have been very rapid progression

Bad that. So many people think elite athletics who earn mega-£££ are untouchable from the norms of everyday life but this is just as tragic.

Cosimo · 2 May 2015 at 11:48

Incredibly sad news. RIP

McBain · 2 May 2015 at 11:55

Such sad news, to go at that age, with 3 kids. Horrible.

Purdy · 2 May 2015 at 12:43

RIP

Hope him and the kids are able to cope

nemtizz · 2 May 2015 at 13:49

Horrible news.

RIP

Touching gesture from Steven Gerrard, giving flowers on behalf of LFC to Joey Barton for Rio and his family

Rio announced it was breast cancer. Must have been very aggressive. Terrible.

Sounds as if they would have found it too late, already spread, horrific. Certainly puts his season and absence from the team in context/perspective. Everyone was wondering where he disappeared to.

Yes it does. Bloody awful news. Nice to see the touch around a few of the grounds on 5 minutes.

Just as he ends his career and spend time with his family
