Nightclub bender: Bonzo nearly died says Matthew Drake

By The Boy -

The Mirror have excelled the themselves even compared to the rest of the running at huge loss, anachronistic bums that constitute the ‘popular’ press. ‘England footballer Kyle Walker’s ‘hippy crack’ shame’ screamed Matthew Drake.

Of course the truth was less, well.. scream-worthy; he’d been having a blast on a balloon filled with nitrous oxide along with some pals in a nightclub.

The whole tone of the piece was a rather grim hatchet piece that Drake had clearly designed to cause as much damage to Bonzo as possible.

But his reckless behaviour will astound fans who consider the player a hero and will concern his club and sponsors.

Nitrous oxide gives a feeling of intense euphoria but users can die of ­suffocation.

The gas can also cause strokes, seizures, blackouts and stress on the heart.

Walker – the Professional ­Footballers’ Association Young Player of the Year last year – is sponsored by Nike through a ­lucrative boot deal to wear the T90 Laser IV footwear at games.

The gas may well cause all manner of side effects. It might have been useful if Drake had done some research and revealed to his readers how many lives have actually been ruined by ‘huffing laughing gas.’  There’s a document or two that appear to cover the misuse of what is a legal activity (in the UK) to those over the age of 18 clicky.

Call me uncharacteristically charitable, but aren’t booze and fags more dangerous? Isn’t the truth that if we read the ‘side effects’ on the packaging of many of things we casually take, we wouldn’t?

But no, Matthew Drake went nuts trying to ruin a man’s career.  We got “reckless behaviour will astound fans who consider the player a hero and will concern his club and sponsors” and talk of death and of heart failure with the name of Bonzo’s sponsors and the specific product he’s endorsed dragged into it. 

Shameful stuff.

It could have been worse of course, sidboxuk could have written the article instead: Spurs Odious shared Drake’s piece with the words:

Seems he was caught on camera in a club smoking from a balloon …. some sort of low level crack.
And on the 8th day, God created people who didn’t bother reading what was written prior to typing something stupid.
