1. Mr Odemwingie is still tweeting His latest offering shows him admitting he may 'buy himself out of his contract'. (Hope he does)

suprises me Tamas wants to stay at Albion so long considering he isn't first choice.
he's not going off in a paddy because he isn't starting a game, fair play to him.

Our first season back in the PL, Tamas was awful. Last season and this season, however, when called upon...Tamas has been brilliant.
He also has a great attitude and not to mention he apparently clattered Odem in training.

Dean Kiely was on talksport this morning and point blank refused to talk about Odemwinger saying that the clubs statement about it being dealt with 'internally' meant exactly that!
Came across really well.

Think the rest of the squad have had enough of him now.
Good job it's International week and they're all away otherwise he'd of got clattered again. My money would of been on GMac this time.

Even I have to admit I can't see any way back for him now. He's also made himself a very unattractive proposition for other clubs now that they've seen how troublesome he can be. Steve Clarke is fully entitled to name him on the bench every game, or make him train with and play for the reserves for the rest of his contract, and if Odemwingie wants to keep moaning on Twitter he'll just be fined his wages every week. If any manager does want to take a chance on him - maybe one of the promoted clubs or QPR still - JP might squeeze £2m-3m out of them. I think he's past caring - he will teach Odemwingie a lesson either way.

The club should treat him with the same contempt that he has with them. Don't banish him to the kids team or reserves as that is not fair on them. Give him a trainer, a sergeant major type, and mske him train about two pitches away from the first team, and make him work his bollox off. I'd force him to train 8 hours a day, and on a matchday too. I can guarantee that after a week he would refuse to turn up again, so we would save £40 k a week in wages, and could then shift him off to some god forsaken place in the back and beyond of Russia in the summer. I now understand why the Lokomotiv fans disliked him, don't agree with the racist abuse he received, but he seems to fall out with everyone!

I feel sorry for him.
He obviously is a little challenged in the grey matter area and this not only has resulted in poor decision making but also ill advised and uncomprehensive sentences on twitter.
In fact I blame the club, his wife and agent for this sad crash from grace.
Clubs: A club should not be allowed to recruit moronic footballers without having a moral commitment to improving and educating the unfortunate. McDonalds have a diploma which their staff can take. It provides an education covering English, Maths and some general knowledge, which if they pass it, is recognised by other employers as an advancement in education.
Wife: She needed to consider whether a child develop according to the environment or more because of its genetic inhertitance? If, the latter, then surely they should have adopted. If they had, then she would have been at home caring for Peter and would have stopped the silly twittering that he did out of boredom and Guinness.
Agent: if you take 25% plus of a mentally challenged persons wages in any other walk of life it would be a crime. It is like tricking the elderly (a despicable crime in my book by the way) out of their savings.
Don't be so hard on the lad. He's just a victim of today's modern society and his inability to communicate with his more intellectual footballing colleagues has resulted in an accidental fall from grace.

Getting sick of talking about Odemwingie now. For his own sake can the twitter administrators not just ban him?
Even if we did get released would this guy even pass a medical at another club in his current psychological state? The guy is mentally unstable.

Stairs - he is not a unfortunate misfit in modern society. He is a greedy - unfortunately I can't use the word I would like to here - who I would like to see thrown out of the club he has let down so badly more than once.
Moreover on top of paying him £39K a week you want the club to help make good his moral and educational shortcomings. I don't think so.
The Russians can't stand him,the Nigerians can't stand him and now we are in the same club.

Aloudin - it's all tongue in cheek.
I'm having a laugh as I am fed up of reading about the A Hole
