Sad at the game today my lad said to me I proper hate him now. Gutted really he's been a good servant should just be used as backup, club maybe let him down. Baines new it was time to wrap up and reputation in tact sad really. Then again should get Baines back he would do a better job than this lot

Bobble just said that 3 years ago Coleman said to the club that he can't train everyday and play every week due to the injuries he's sustained, and they need to find his replacement and start bringing him in.

If that is true, the club has failed him and us big time.

Yet he continued playing for Ireland all through the following 3 years, sometimes twice in a few days? Something doesn’t add up with that statement
 

Cannot blame him one bit for clinging on to his fat contract. He knows he's nowhere near what's needed, but he's fully within his rights to stay until the end of his contract and nobody in their right mind is going to walk away from 60-odd thousand a week just because the fans think they should.

Yes he should have been ousted by the club years ago, but they're the ones who constantly kept giving him new deals.

He doesn't pick himself to start every game regardless of the manager.

He doesn't volunteer to go and speak to the media and doesn't ask them to request yet another rallying cry from him for the fans.

I am sick and tired of hearing his name, seeing him leaving huge gaping holes in defence and watching his gormless kin face taking throw ins, but apart from being extremely crap at football, this isn't his fault.

A couple of months ago he was arguing til he was blue in the face that Ferguson wasn’t a legend because he only made sub appearances during our cup run in 1995 and for years he’s wrote off Baines as a legend specifically because he’s never won a trophy. Coleman is a legend because he’s currently keeping out a player that Dave doesn’t like because he used to play for Rangers.

In terms of memorable moments, Coleman has never really topped giving away the stupid free kick that led to Carroll's winner at Wembley in 2012.

Actually quite funny that, because when you think about it... it's spot on. He's talked about as some kind of club legend, bargain of the century full back who tore up the history books since joining the club.

Reality is he was a bargain buy and did perform to a high-ish standard (probably worthy of a Europa League team) for about 3-4 seasons, definitely much higher than his transfer fee would suggest, but he's also been the mainstay and captain of a group of players who have, quite disgracefully, downed tools countless times and seen off about six different managers.

One thing I've always hated about him is that he, as captain, has contributed to opposition players getting away with probable yellow or red card-worthy challenges by refusing to involve himself in the referee's decision-making. Think Steven Gerrard or Jamie Carragher and how they would virtually get the cards out of the referee's pocket themselves to get players booked. Not quite the same thing, but him consoling Son of Spurs after he'd just crippled Andre Gomes absolutely stunk.

Also, his insistence on playing every single international game, even after a (or was it two?) potential career-ending injury suffered while playing for Ireland, has been infuriating. At this point in his career, when his legs have so clearly gone, he's still playing for them.

Yes we've had some good times singing the Sixty Grand song and seeing him chip in with the odd goal here or there, but he's never been an elite player (not his fault), and his only achievement (not his fault) with us has been the number of games he has played.

The sad thing is you just know Kenwright will be all over him when he does finally retire, getting him fast tracked into the coaching setup and assuring him of a job for life, etc.

I will fume a little if he heads off to play meaningless friendlies this month.
