Have that Bobby, you Expletive

Nice little retort from Jol on Bobby "lets cup my ear at my own fans because someone said something nasty about me online, and I spent a week crying to my mummy like a massive useless baby" Zamora


Fulham manager Martin Jol dismissed former striker Bobby Zamora's criticisms earlier this week as "sour grapes".

Zamora was sold to QPR in January after rumours circulated that he did not see eye-to-eye with the Dutchman and the 31-year-old broke silence this week when he said "the vast majority" of the Fulham squad did not like Jol.

The Cottagers boss said: "I think nothing is what it seems. The players know me so one player will say this, another player will say that.

"If players do well and work hard, I try to get a good relationship with them. If not, I don't. With Bobby it started after a couple of weeks. Everybody knew.

"There was a few leaks in the paper and I asked him and he said 'no, it wasn't me'. I knew it was him and his agent 100 percent.

"He said 'no, it wasn't me, I hate the press'. He hated defence and later said he hated crosses as well and that was the moment I thought 'maybe it is better to sell' and that is what we did."

Jol replaced Zamora with Pavel Pogrebnyak - who scored six goals in 12 appearances during a short-term loan - then further bolstered his frontline with the capture of Dimitar Berbatov in the summer.

He said: "It was not easy because I had to get another No 9. We did because Pogrebnyak scored as many goals in a couple of weeks as my other strikers did in six months.

"Later we got Berbatov, who was probably our best signing ever. In hindsight, you could say we managed to do well."

On first read, I thought that was a quote attributed to Jol.  That would have been a brilliant press conference!

Owned.

I'll always remember the post-match celebrations after Bobby's late winner against Arsenal, when Jol went over to him and they looked like best friends. I remember thinking at the time, "Clearly the papers have made up all this talk of a feud". How naive I was...

As a side note, I love MJ's ending to the interview. Bringing Berbatov to Fulham is the ultimate silver bullet to have in your arsenal when any crap comes your way.

Doing the best I can, Von Billy. Good to see you making an appearance or two these days. Keep well.

Perhaps Bobby should ask some of QPRs massive squad how happy they are and put another peice in the Evening standard.
Oh wait, he said he hates the press!! Shame as I'd love to know how happy Rob Green is
