UFC star Paddy Pimblett isn’t happy with Trent Alexander-Arnold – and he’s not hiding it.
Speaking to ESPN, the Liverpool fan said he booed Trent at Anfield last week and doesn’t think he should be part of the club’s Premier League trophy parade.
“I’ve never ever in my life seen one of our players get booed. That’s how you know it’s real,” Paddy said.
Trent is expected to join Real Madrid this summer, and his quiet exit hasn’t gone down well with fans like Paddy.
“Van Dijk and Salah are now more scousers than he is, simple as that. They were talking all year about wanting to stay, wanting to sign a new contract. He just didn’t do an interview about it because he knew he was leaving.”
Paddy also wasn’t impressed by Trent’s farewell video.
“Even that pitiful video he put out … Reading a teleprompter. Nothing that he said was from his heart. He didn’t even get emotional, if I was leaving Liverpool Football Club, I’d be crying my eyes out. He’s forgotten where he’s come from.”
He then hit back at pundits criticising fans for booing:
“He strung us along. No one should be able to tell us how we feel. All the pundits and that, don’t try and tell me how I should feel. If I feel like booing him, I’ll boo him. It’s as simple as that. He shouldn’t be at the trophy parade because it will just bring the mood down.”
Liverpool’s parade is set for May 26, starting from Allerton Maze and ending at Blundell Street. Whether Trent shows up or not, fans like Paddy have already made their stance clear.
