WHINY FOOTBALLERS: BUT IT'S SOOO RAINY
[Didier thinks you should shut up now.]Nemanja Vidic is keeping it real. Very real. Unnecessarily real.
"I will never stay to live in England, that's for sure. You get only a brief glimpse of sunlight before it's all cloudy again. The winters are mild, but in summer the temperatures seldom go higher than 20C. And it rains, rains, rains.
In future, I would like to test myself in another top league. I'm thinking of Spain. At least there will be no reason to complain about the weather. In future, I would like to test myself in another top league. I'm thinking of Spain. At least there will be no reason to complain about the weather."
Yeah, rain sucks, doesn't it? Talk of Spain does bring up a halfway worthy question though: does playing for Man U give you some sort of La Liga tunnel vision or something? Two other, er, notable United boys have traded Manchester for sunny Spain in the past or have spent an entire summer whining about really wanting to.
He continues:
"Throughout the week they all work so hard. They only talk to people at lunch break. Then in the evening they come home and watch the telly, so they can get up early for work the next day.
The only time to meet friends is at weekends, but for football players it's the busiest time of all. It was much easier for me to adapt to Russia than England. In England I had no one to talk to."
Working hard when you're being paid to do exactly that -- tough stuff. Not to mention thoroughly uncivilized. Glad that's not the case where we're from. Slack, make a cup of tea, slack, check your e-mail again, slack, get overly excited about Maurice Greene slated to be on next season's DWTS. Join us over here. We'll talk to you!
Vidic told Man U's site that his quotes have been taken out of context. "I spoke about the difficulty I had settling in to life in Manchester, but that does not reflect how I feel now."

I agree that much of what Vida said was taken out of context. That said, there is much truth in what he says. Manchester does have dreadful weather!
