Paddy the Baddy mocks Everton fans over ‘sausage’ Duncan Ferguson ahead of Liverpool clash
UFC star Paddy Pimblett has taken aim at Duncan Ferguson and Lucas Digne ahead of Wednesday night’s Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool.
Appearing on Redmen TV, in a video relayed via their Twitter account, ‘Paddy the Baddy’, who shot to fame earlier this year, was asked who he would most like to get in the ring with from Everton’s past and present.
“Big Dunc, because they all love him,” the Liverpool-born 25-year-old said.
“They all go on like he’s a big hard case don’t they, like, shut up lad, big hard case, he’s a sausage. I swear, it’s proper mad, they go on like he’s this big hard case and he’s not, he’s a proper tool.
“Now, I don’t like that Lucas Digne lad, he thinks he’s world-class. How funny was it a few seasons ago when the Evertonian’s were like ‘Digne’s better than Robbo [Andrew Robertson]’.
“No he’s not, he never will be. They still try and say it now. Shut up. He never ever will be in his life. [Kostas] Tsimikas is better than Digne.”
Not the wisest move…
Ferguson wouldn’t be many people’s picks to come face to face with.
Pimblett may be a star in the UFC scene now, but the Scot would probably fancy his chances in a one-on-one with anyone.
The subject of Digne, though, is an interesting one.
Everton fans were tooting his horn for a number of seasons, and rightly so.
The Frenchman established himself as one of the most consistent left-backs in the Premier League and, indeed, Europe.
He was contributing goals and assists galore and could lay claim to being a better defender than Robertson.
However, his performances have deteriorated in recent months, especially in weeks gone by.
Of course, that’s as much to do with the team as him as no one is really playing with any confidence.
But Evertonians have come to expect much better from him, and they will hope to see that against Liverpool tonight.
