Thanks: Gave 6, Got 5 | Anybody hate Robbie Savage as much as me?
Just sitting here watching the Blackburn v Utd game and every time I look up from my laptop I see Robbie Savage moaning at the referee - makes me wanna throw things at the telly!! 
He put Wayne Rooney in a headlock earlier then complained at the referee when he got booked for it, asking "What's that for ref?!" 
He is kind of like a male version of Jodie Marsh - just irritates you every time you look at him!
The only person I dislike more than him is Craig Bellamy... so as you can probably tell I am not a Blackburn fan!

He does get on my nerves, hate may be a little strong 
The thing is, his antics cloud the fact he IS a good footballer 
If he were in your side, you would love the way he winds the oppo up!
Oh yeah, just pictured him with that stupid haircut.. Yes I do hate him

Although a little annoying, you can't deny he's been invaluable everywhere his been (apart from Man U when they released him).. Probably the best athlete in the premiership & earns every penny of his salary for his effort.
Which makes a nice change in this day & age of overpaid, overhyped players. He's no naughtier than the next midfield engine, you just notice it more cos he's a knob...

The refusal to lose makes an average player a good player (Robbie Savage) just as it makes a good player a great player (Roy Keane, Pat Viera)

Robbie Savage has to be my favorite 'other' player. Plays with passion and does.... as it has been pointed out.... refuse to lose. The Premiership always needs a player like this. He raised the passions of both sets of fans, and without this type of player the Premiership would be even more of an overpriced, overhyped waste of money.

Total pansy pretty boy!! imho.
Not a fan of him at all - goes down faster than the titanic! Most of the time, no one actually is within 5 yards of him.
If running about the pitch like a headless chicken counts as "top athlete" then i must be a superb player!!!
Does nothing in a game, can't pass, certainly can score (how did he not score in 22 seconds last night, harder to miss!), only there to wind up the opponents and get himself booked in just about every game (currently has 9 yellow cards this season, 2 best/worst in the premiership)

"Refusing to lose" is a great attitude as long as it is not refusing to lose... at any cost. What winds me up about Savage is that he is constantly whining to the referee - if he makes a bad tackle he whines when he gets a yellow card, but then if somebody makes a bad tackle on him he is whining to the referee, or rolling around on the floor, trying to get the opposition player a booking. He is a hypocrite. A winning attitude is good, as long as it is within the spirit of the game. I think it is players like Robbie Savage which give football a bad name equally as much as the "over-paid, over-hyped" brigade...

Not quite sure he gives football a bad name, OK, he whines but show me a player that doesn't? - Let's look at the facts - He has never been red carded in 423 Club appearances...
Robbie Savage: Overall career totals
Apps Goals Yellow Red
Total (Club) 423 31 84 0
League 359 28 74 0
FA Cup 27 1 6 0
League Cup 28 1 4 0
European 9 1 0 0
Now compare that to a little git like Alan Smith & who really gives football a bad name?
Alan Smith: Overall career totals
Apps Goals Yellow Red
Total (Club) 296 67 72 8
League 221 45 50 6

European 48 17 13 1 | Still Robbie Savage gives football a bad name. You figures do not show that amount of playacting, rolling around on the floor, moan/whining to refs etc.
Also out of the 2 players mentioned who is the more likely one to get tackled and just get up and get on with the game without whining about it?
Also lets bear in mind that Alan Smith is a forward that is being converted into a midfielder, he has about 30 games to get used to a new position on the park.
Who would you rather have in your midfield as the combatative (sp) tackling, full blooded proffesional midefield footballer????
