I've just read that. This lad has to be the the most arrogant or thickest footballer ever to grace the game. Firstly, when all the Leeds players were (understandably) jumping ship when we got relegated, Kewell announced that he would only join Liverpool. This prompted them to drop their initial bid of £7m to £5m. When the deal went through, Leeds had to pay £2m of the fee to his Agent for 'assisting in the negotiations'.

When at Liverpool, he only played when he felt he was up to it (surprising then that he managed to be fit for the Champions League final).

Now this, how more insulting can you get to the memory of the 2 fans who were killed prior to the UEFA Cup Semi-Final than to join the club they supported and who did little to condemn the action.

Thank God he will get kicked to bits in that league and we won't get to see him on TV. Or is it his plan to get kicked in the 1st game and sit out a lucrative contract on the treatment table?? Fick off you ****

Very. All the other top lads left as well but he gave up half way through our relegation season and was happy to screw us afterwards, despite having given him his break in the Premier League. The others didn't do that and they moved because they were too good for the Championship. Even Alan Smith, who joined the Scum, burst his gonads off before we were officially relegated. If you are not a Leeds fan, you wouldn't understand the Galatasary thing. Perhaps the Liverpool fans opinion of The Sun newspaper following Hillsborough comes close
