Dimitri Payet in July 2016: >beloved star player at your club >club finishes in a respectable position, above teams like Liverpool and Chelsea >a couple of club games away from regular European football >about to move to a new stadium that has been gifted to the club for free (so you get the benefits of a large stadium without any financial worries) >in the finals of the Euros that are being hosted in your own country >on the radar for many big clubs
Dimitri Payet today: >national team lost to Portugal in the finals >club failed to qualify for the Europa League >struggling to even get near the top half of the table >new stadium has a shit atmosphere >refuse to play for your club anymore and turn the fans against you >club gets eliminated from all other tournaments >eventually forced to take a paycut and return to a club in an irrelevant meme league >your future is ruined because you acted like a cunt in public and teams think you're a petulant child
Has there been a greater fall from grace in recent years?
Adam Ross
but hes already moved to OM so most of these dont matter west ham is trash anyway >your future he's 30 >teams wont hire a good player because of his attitude please
he's like 80% of that west ham team, cant blame him for being fed up with getting trashed 4, 5-0 every now and then
Jason Taylor
but OM is hardly an upgrade
Leo Diaz
they play european competition regularly and will never risk relegation occasionally they fight for the title
the only downgrade is money-wise, so i think his decision is to be respected
Nathan Cruz
Marseille is like 10 times bigger club than West Ham. Bigger attendance, more trophies, more prestige etc. The only thing about West ham is burger money from TV license. That's about it. West Ham isn't a respectable club like Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea, never has been. They have always been the faggots of London basically.
Wyatt Lee
only PSG are bigger than an ordinary EPL club
It's not 1987
Leo Powell
West Ham is still a gay club though
Anthony King
>has there ever been a bigger fall from grace? Leicester City
Caleb Moore
>bigger attendance
OM >67k capacity stadium >avg game has 20-30k attendance >big games have 40-55k
WHU >capacity 57k >always full
Joshua Wright
>move from Southhamton (or whatever that team is called) to Olympique de Marseille >"fall from grace"
Isaac Smith
>player x should be loyal to their employer because clubs are loyal to players LMAO Good for him
Gavin Turner
what do you mean he didn't move to Marseille because he wanted to? do you have any idea how much more he'll be making down there?
Christopher Harris
that's not true.
Luis Butler
That's what happens when you try to murder TSUUUU
Dylan Adams
he did seem to act like a bit of a cunt, didn't he
Xavier Cook
OM have averaged 50k for most of the past years
Thomas Campbell
you're delusional if you think Marseille are bigger than an EPL team
- based in London - very unlikely to be relegated - pays more money
Elijah Barnes
He was a one season wonder so not really a fall from grace jut regression to mean
Michael James
what is this EPL you speak of? never heard of that league before
Isaiah Johnson
They are. Maybe you get a bigger paycheck in EPL, but aside from that no.
You think Burnley, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Sunderland etc are bigger than Marseille? Lol.
Julian Wood
>leave west ham >fall from grace you twat
Nolan Lewis
Marseille is a bigger club in every way except money
Landon Morales
It's where his heart lay, simple as that, that's why he took a paycut and went all nuclear
Landon Collins
Haven't Marseille's best players been moving to bottom prem teams for like a decade now?
Only difference now is that they have an owner who is trying to convince fans he won't destroy the club like he did with his last one
Jordan Cooper
They are bigger mainly because of the league they play in
Who did Shaqiri sign for, Marseille or Stoke?
How many people see him play on a Saturday versus the nobodies at Marseille?
Marseille are a smaller club than 75% of the EPL - reality
Blake Howard
Stop. Marseille are a bigger club than Wet Spam.
Neither are particularly big though.
Aaron Perez
Payet got a woman in London pregnant and his wife wanted out
William Myers
OM is the most popular club in France. West Ham is a tinpot club with cancerous arsenal-tier fans.
Grayson Myers
Haven't you heard, West Ham won the world Cup m8
Asher Reyes
Marseille aren't big at all
Andre Ayew ran his Marseille contract down so he could move to fucking Swansea
Gavin Powell
Shaqiri didn't sign for OM because OM didn't have the new owner and were poor as fuck back then.
and Shaqiri didn't sign for OM because he is overrated as fuck and failed in Seria A and Bundesliga and Stoke pay him a ridiculous salary for a player that has the quality of Grant Leadbitter.
Isaac Edwards
>Wet Spam """""fans""""" talking shit about OM
Jordan Reed
because Marseille ran out of money you dumb retard. Least you could do is fucking google it once.
OM is by far the most popular club in France. OM is bigger than all EPL clubs bar Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal. bigger=/=better
Jordan Scott
Big clubs can keep players without having to pay them loads.
Marseille are so small that nobody is there for anything but money. Even Payet's a case of making more from sponsors if he plays in france
Hunter Sanchez
>Big clubs can keep players without having to pay them loads
Yeah fucking right, that's why Suarez and Messi play for European Champions Nottingham Forrest.
Cooper Fisher
non English players don't give a fuck about English teams
Jose Hernandez
He's a fuckin' snake.
Isaiah Sullivan
Messi and Suarez play for a CL contender, a level which Marseille are nowhere near
Jose Sullivan
>Big clubs can keep players without having to pay them loads. I can't wait for your big beloved EPL club to be assaulted by our Chinese overlords
Robert Williams
He was just the a little above avarage player with the occasional blooter so he got massively overrated.
Benjamin Thompson
Being the most popular club in France means nothing. Spuds and Chelsea are also bigger.
Jack Brown
Yet it is the only French club to actually have won a CL, despite PSG oil money
Jonathan Gonzalez
They played exactly one tough side all tournament it's nearly as flukey as the porto cl
Joshua Reyes
>Big clubs can keep players without having to pay them loads.
honestly mate when, I can't wait when the French league will be the second-best league in the world and no good players play in the EPL anymore in 10 years when everybody switched to streaming because withouth the TV money the EPL clubs can't offer the foreign players Russia-tier wages anymore and all English players are shit so the EPL will turn into Championship qaulity.
would be funny to see your faces when the best player in West Ham isn't Payet anymore but fucking Mark Noble.
Thomas Taylor
Nice fanfiction.
Stop posting retard.
The same season they got relegated for match fixing in the most corrupt CL win of all time
Noah Harris
my numbers are from this season
Lucas Richardson
Oh what, you think your league is too big to fall? Remember just 12 years ago everyone was wearing Maldini shirts and now the Serie A is the worst of all 4 of the leagues.
the only reason your league is even in the top 4 is because yanks watch it on pay-tv because they are too dumb to learn another language and once everyone switches to streaming(tv numbers are decreasing rapidly), then your league will be shit since you're the only league in the world where over 65% of the players are foreign and all the English players are genuine shit.
Samuel Peterson
>yanks
You mean everyone. It's probably the most popular league in yuor country in fact as much as you'll probably deny it.
Money talks kid, the current PL could buy your country.
Keep exporting us your 'talents' like Wijnaldum and Depay and don't forget to tune in for the 3pm games.
Parker Ross
I don't watch EPL, if I wanted to watch black Frenchmen crash into eachother I'd just watch Quebec handegg.
But keep wathcing your dying leauge paying 50 a month for it so that you can pay Gaston Ramirez the same wage as Jeremy Mathieu, while everyone around you streams the games and eventually your beloved tinpot teams don't have the money anymore to pay Sofiane Boufal the same amount of money as Sokratis.
Adrian Ortiz
>West ham >Faggots
You do realise West Ham are the Sup Forums of the premier league who hates gays and muslims the most and voted Brexit more than others in London.
Henry Long
he played shit football yesterday lmao OM lost also
Sebastian Garcia
wtf i love west ham now
Henry Walker
>>new stadium has a shit atmosphere
I thought Marseilles had a good stadium?
Owen Mitchell
WE'VE GOT PAYET
Carson Cox
>beloved star player at your club Which is fucking West Ham, nullifying your entire argument
