Poll has always been a prick and he will always be a prick. This is not just about the Chelsea / spurs game, or the McFadden sending off. This idiot has an ego that needs cutting down to size. Fans all over England do not sing " Graham Poll....He's a fu<kin' arsehole" for nothing. I dont believe he has a vendetta against any particular club, but he sure has a vendetta against certain high profile players. He has always liked to be the reason why a team loses or wins. Any fan from any club will tell you that.
How long has he been a <unt?.......this long.....
