Rio Ferdinand - seems like he'd be a decent enough bloke to go for a pint with.

Doesn't seem at all as 'up himself' as say, Ashley Cole or heaven help us, David Beckham.

I would expect that the female steward he kicked last season would agree.

ManUtd
Rio Ferdinand

Next time you see him talk watch his lips. There's something about them that is def alright The upper lip expecially when it curls up slightly.

I am sorely tempted to move this to "the locker room" just so I dont have to see this love in...

"Nicer than Ashley Cole" is about the right level of damning with faint praise I suspect. That youtube clip probably saved it from oblivion

That BBC show would have a field day with Carragher and Gerrards mannerisms....incomprehensible ramblings and picking at their ears respectively.

Ferdinand was, in my mind, fairly childish until a couple of years ago (that 'pranked' show he did before the WC in 2006 was inane), but he seems to have matured since then.

I'd prefer him to Terry as captain for England.

Of course, I am a Man U fan, but notice I'm not clamouring for the return of Gary 'I speak in the 3rd person' Neville for England and I'd be happy if he was no longer the Man U captain.

No matter where it's moved I shall avoid it due to the snobbery that's already surfaced.

Too late. You made the effort to post on it.

Rio Ferdinand is only slightly better than Alan Smith, who promised Leeds fans he'd never sign for Man Utd just before doing so.

Hello? What upper lip? Is he a daffy duck clone? Or something out of the Simpsons? And he was a tosser throughout his 20s, using and abusing women, alcohol etc. Plus there was that girly braided hairdo. I rest my case. For down-to-earth footballers not "up themselves" you have to look to Arsenal.
