Footballers = Fruits?? Maybe or Maybe not

Ever heard of really good metaphors? I've heard a couple of good ones....the Tv series House M.D certainly had a few coming from Dr. Gregory House. Well, i came across this one not too long ago...and it's a pretty good one. It's more of football humour than anything else actually.

"Young players are a little bit like melons - only when you open them up and taste the melon are you 100 per cent sure that the melon is good" - Jose Mourinho -

And he added

"Sometimes you have beautiful melons but they don't taste very good; other melons are a bit ugly and when you open them the taste is fantastic." - Jose Mourinho -

Chelsea players ..if they were fruits

Didier Drogba - Apple - Solid, reliable, never lets you down. Can be made to fall by the slightest breeze.

Frank Lampard - Avocado - Versatile and unfathomably popular, despite surprisingly high fat content.

John Terry - Coconut - Utterly indestructible, and can stand up to any punishment. A bit vacant.

Joe Cole - Banana - Boasts an exotic touch, but has soft flesh and bruises easily.

Claude Makelele - Blueberry - Small, often going unnoticed, but extremely good for your health.

Ashley Cole - Pomegranate - Overpriced and overrated. Classy exterior but a bits-and-pieces contributor.

Arjen Robben - Strawberry - Fair-weather fruit. Notoriously fickle and often useless during the winter months.

Andriy Shevchenko - Lemon - World class when combined with the right ingredients, but just plain bitter at times.

got anything better than those above?? let me know...
