But Zlatan is as repellent a human being as hans ansikte suggests.
Since when does criticism automatically equal jealousy?
I wonder...discuss...
Remember,He's a Swede,worked against incredible odds and made most of his money outside of Sweden.
Am I a little jealous,hell yeah!
Am I proud of him,hell,hell,hell yeah!
He made his choices in life and I made mine just as everyone here did/does.
Does he have an attitude?
Without a doubt but that's part of sport tradition!
At least he won't dress as frumpy-dumpy!
Be happy with what you have or put some more effort into your game and stop complaining!
No I'm not convinced. If somebody doesn't like Zlatan, that's their prerogative (personally, I have nothing against him, why would I?). I'm just saying using jealousy as an excuse is a very weak argument, it's equivalent to someone telling a fjortis that Justin Bieber's "music" is terrible and the fjortis promptly goes off their mouth screaming "OMG ur just a hater and ur just jelus!" (Spelling mistakes are on purpose)
Anyway, I'm sure Zlatan appreciates your support.
