Mr A I would re read the thread before making such accusations, Mr Andrew of Aberdeen was the man who chicago typed Kimi's name, wish "you Americans" would read before you write... You americans, doesnt sound nice does it? Hell im not British but your "you Brits" i found offensive 
Cry me a river Vaptin, you and your fellow Alonso merry men are some of the biggest negator trollers on here! Why arent you so pompous when Lewis gets bagged? on a level 10x as what Alonso does mind you.
But cmon 08 Kimi was struck by a lot of damn bad luck, as for 09 how can he be outperformed by a guy that missed half the season? End of the day Ferrari knew Alonso cannot be in a team with a World Champion or a driver vying to be World Champion as a team mate. History speaks for itself, Ferrari knew this and chose Alonso over Kimi. Kimi wanted to stay in F1 but at a top team and on his terms. McLaren was his only option but they didn't want to pay him what he wanted, nor did he want to do the PR stuff they wanted. Bye bye Kimi, thanks Fernando but alas you got your red car in the end!
Ferrari are now looking for a replacement for Massa, someone who can bring home the constructor points, Obviously having Fernando there is going to be tough to entice a decent driver to be team mate, it will take someone who has no ambitions of being a title challenger, someone who is happy to bend over at the whim of team management if it were to further Alonso's cause. For example, even the lure of driving for Ferrari wasn't enough for Rubens to take it up the bum for so long, every man has his limits no matter how much lube Ferrari apply!
You guys are like broken records...you just collectively change your tune once in a while. Not long ago AT ALL, the entire red car hating fanclub stood together and unanimously claimed Alonso would never fit in at Ferrari. And the group of you dined on some crow. Then you stood shoulder to shoulder and unanimously claimed Massa was his equal and would give Alonso a run for his money...and a second helping of crow. Now you unanimously claim he can't possibly be on a team where his teammate has equal talent. Are you not getting sick of that bird feather cuisine?
Why do you claim this ridiculous thing? Because he didn't go along with a cheating McLaren team? Because he got upset when that team was collectively out to beat him while he was still in the team? Step back and objectively look at that season as a question...which driver was being emotional and illogical? Without answering that question yet (if you can), look at the few years that followed that one. Which of those two drivers has, over those years, continued having emotional outbursts, illogical actions and outrageous accusations? If you look at it objectively, you will see that every single year Hamilton continues all three of those things. Where are Alonso's emotional outbursts? Where are the cases of him getting caught cheating? Penalized? Where are his accusations of racism when things don't go his way? When is he in the press making snide comments about Lewis' English fans like Lewis made about fans in Spain during the dog and pony show following Silverstone? Seriously.
And you are slinging insults of arrogance at Americans? You? BAAAHahahaha! Oh, that's a good one.
