Would any player have ever told Tony Adams or Stuart Pearce to f*** off? No way in hell, because they were scared of them. Same goes for JT at Chelsea. The players respect and like Beckham, but they're not scared of him. Same goes for Sven, that's why they never do what he tells them to, on the rare occasions he does come up with a game plan.

Seriously, I like footballers to tell their teammates to eff off all the time. I like it when they have huge slanging matches and fights break out in training. It shows to me they care. Adams/Pearce/Terry will have been told to eff off numerous times by younger players - and I'm glad. At least Rooney showed a bit of passion last night...the same can't be said for some of his teammates.
