      If he is 100% genuine. Then he's quite inspirational. Not to me but hopefully to lots of younger people.

        Joey speaks of "The addictive personality", something that can belong to someone very intelligent, but on the other hand can cause a lot of negative consequences.
        Part of having an addictive personality involves becoming fixated or obsessed with something, and Joey recently was becoming obsessed with Twitter, which had the negative consequence of not concentrating on playing football. Lets hope Joey now becomes obsessed with QPR staying up!
        By the way I am not pointing the finger at Joey because I too have my flaws in character, and like Joey continue to work on them and do the best I can.
        Onwards and upwards, let's hope we are in the Prem next season.

                  "And about the love that we bestow on them when they do what we want and the furious revenge we want to exact when they disappoint us."

                  Ring any bells?

                    That is ironically funny, no offence taken, believe me I used to sink a few of them in my time.
