I'm sure I'm not the only one that believes the Bart Simpson lookalike is a waste of space?
Schoolboy errors every game that costs points...and torn apart by the Spanish centre-forward this weekend...
I just hope Mr Capello has been wearing his glasses recently, and has cancelled Rio's plane ticket to South Africa...
RF has always been hugely over-hyped and overpaid...

He doesn't seem to be trying to defend, and looks like he believes that he can just stroll through games. I would have him as my fourth choice centre defender behind Vidic, Evans and Brown, in that order.
The fact that he has had a poor couple of seasons doesn't mean you were right years ago when you said he was overrated.

A goalie who lets a ball slip under his body into the net is always scrutinised more than a striker who misses a sitter.

Ferdinand is still a class act - don't forget he is also coming back from injury.

He has been the bedrock of a defence that has won the hardest league in the world 3 times in a row and made 2 CL finals and also broken Chelsea's defensive record for clean sheets. He's having a dip in form but his record speaks for itself. Just exactly what does he have to do to prove it ? Find a cure for cancer or something? You would probably still say he was overrated!!!! LOL

Ferdinand has been hyped up by the tabloid press until he himself believes it...another one of the same ilk is Jon Woodgate...
How either of these have made a living from professional football is beyond me...
Anyone remember Thierry Henry absolutely roasting Woodgate in a CL game when he was at Real Madrid? Woodgate came off after 15 minutes with an 'injury'... I believe he came off 'cos he didn't want another 75 minutes of torture from Henry...bloody bottler!

Pity he doesn't play for a decent International side, or he'd probably have an honour or 2 at that level also.
