Maradona

[Roymit]

I spent some time in Naples last year and its true that his picture is still present in the front windows of the various Napoli club shops around the city. Talking to people who live there, they take a similar view to many other people in that his ability as a footballer and his qualities as a person are two very different things. As with all things Maradona, if you listen to him he's always the victim. The fact that he's had a £33Million tax bill outstanding for 20 odd years which the Italian Exchequer is adamant must be paid doesn't stop him from claiming they're out to get him.

As for the drugs test in the US, can anyone not watch that goal celebration where he ran up to the camera snarling and waving his fists and not tell me that was someone on drugs? He made his own luck with that. Its a bit like finishing your pint on a pub carpark and getting in to your car whilst a police car watches you from over the road. Your nailed on to get stopped under suspicion of DD. So it was with Maradona but according to him he was victimised (again)

And there was I thinking he was just happy.

I quite like him.
