And then there's this from Damien Richardson:

[Didier Drogba] appears completely devoid of comprehending the trauma and inner turmoil endured by my very self to in order to facilitate the arrival at such an admirable junction in my spiritual development that, initially, surprised me greatly, and then enabled me to expunge myself of so many demons that I was beginning to believe that I was ready to transcend to the spirit world itself.

You have to understand.

Hold on, is that really an article from Damien Richardson or just someone taking the p1ss???? It's got to be a p!sstake, surely??!!!!
