Arsenal should refuse Liverpool an ‘honorary guard’ – it is a lot of B ***** KS

Chelsea gives Liverpool a ‘Guard of Honor’ for the Premier League match of tomorrow at Stamford Bridge.

And next weekend, presumably, Arsenal Will do the same.

But like so many other things in modern football, it is something that I will never understand. To be honest, I think it’s a lot of old B ***** KS.

It is not so much a sign of respect as a humiliation for the team that stands in line to give the champions a small blow.

It’s like Chelsea And Arsenal and everyone who plays the Champs for the rest of the season says: “Well done, we are completely happy that you have defeated us.”

When mine Watford Team lost a FA Cup final of Manchester CityWe had to stand and clap while they got their medals.

But that is after the game, that is fair enough.

I was never in a position in which I was expected to be part of an ‘honorary guard’. During my top days, Watford never played against a team that had already been confirmed as champions.

But if I had been in that situation, I would have refused Point Blander.

That’s what Arsenal, Liverpool’s Nearest challengers this season should do the following Sunday.

Best free bets and registration offers

That would really create a marker for next season. No more sir nice boys.

I have quite a lot in common Jamie Vardy.

We both came from Non-League Football, via the Football League and to the top flight.

We both wore single days during football after criminal convictions in our youth.

We both became a long-term club-stalwarts, him in Leicester and I in Watford.

I am quite proud of what I have achieved in the game, but Vardy. . . He is something else.

This guy is Roy van de Rovers. He is the largest underdog story of football.

He won the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Golden Boot, he played for England And – unlike I – he had to leave his club on his own conditions after 13 years of Sterling Service.

Vardy is 38, 18 months older than me and about 18th lighter!
But after announcing that he is leaving LeicesterHe can still do a serious job for someone in the Premier League subsequent term.

Wolves love him And I saw that happen. But for me, Everton Would fit well.

David Moyes Will bring in a dozen or more players this summer for the new era of the Merseyside Club in their new stadium in Bramley-Moore Dock.

And I am sure he would like Vardy’s option. With his pace he will always be dangerous that comes from the bank against a tiring defense and he could still start in some matches.

Vardy is unconventional, a Maverick. Thanks to its fitness regime and diet – which has often recorded vodka, skittles and tobacco product, snus.

What I like best about Vardy is that he has not tried to change a bit as a player or a guy.

Some players may win the Premier League and try to reinvent themselves, thinking that they are a real all -round football player. But Vardy sticks to what he has always done best.

He does not leave back and tries to dictate games, he just keeps shooting behind the defense and scores goals. Even this season he scored eight times in a Leicester team that could not open a front door, let alone a defense.

Scoring goals in a terrible team that creates very few opportunities is a seriously difficult performance, but Vardy has managed it.

I get the Wrexham Link -De Hollywood -Club meets the Hollywood -football player.

Ryan Reynolds and Co have brought many experienced players on their journey from the National League to the championship, so you can see why Vardy would fit there.

But he would be a great option for many Premier League clubs and he could break the record of Teddy Sheringham as the oldest outfield player in the competition.

Teddy played in the top flight not long before his 41st birthday for West Ham.

Leicester plays Southampton today as two of the worst teams that the English top flight has ever known.

It is sad what has happened to Leicester in recent years, because what they have achieved in winning the title in 2016 probably the biggest story that English football has ever known.

That was our first season in the top flight after winning promotion with Watford and at the start of the campaign we had considered them one of our rivals for relegation.

But just like everyone else, we could not have been wrong anymore.

What a team that was. The quality of Vardy and Riyad Mahrez in attack, the midfield duo of N’Golo Kante and Danny Drinkwater was one of the best I ever played against.

During that season, Vardy broke the Premier League record of Ruud van Nistelrooy to score in 11 consecutive games.

To be honest, if you understand what an achievement it is to score in back-to-back Premier League matches, your mind is astonished on the idea of ​​11 in a row.

And people often forget Vardy’s strike partner, Shinji Okazaki. What a working speed he had. He would come from the field like a racing horse, literally with steam from him!

Leicester from Claudio Ranieri played a 4-4-2 and their rear four were old-fashioned defenders heads, kick it, keep it out. And I mean that with the greatest respect.

One of them, the captain Wes Morgan, I knew pretty well. And after Leicester had defeated us that season, he told me ‘size, we are seriously good, a really special group of players’.

He said they really got all the brilliant, they chose to always socialize with each other. And, believe me, that is really unusual, especially in a Premier League club – or in every workplace, really.

And when Leicester was confirmed as champions, because Spurs did not beat Chelsea in a war of a match on a Monday evening, which organized the players’ house party to celebrate? Vardy, of course.

The last two home games of this miserable Leicester season will now be the celebration of Vardy’s career because they say goodbye to a legend.

And rightly so, because he is a player who should inspire EVERYONE In the non-competition and lower competitions.

Jamie Vardy is the Wonderman.
