Media coverage 2018/19

[laserblue]

There’s a classic on SSN, completely typical - talk about Real signing Hazard and basically show on screen they’ve spent an “astronomical” £222mil already, and a slight giggle by the presenter.

Imagine if that was us that had already spent over £200mil.....

Awaiting Tebas's next accusation that City are inflating transfer fees and wages and ruining football.

More weird than sinister, but strangely the picture on the Sky go app for England v Holland is one of Van Dijk celebrating. I know the media love the Dippers and all, but picking a none England player as the face of an England game is down right bizarre

Same here. I’ve been in contact with customer services who have confirmed that the refunds for the Spurs game should be made shortly. To be fair, the site quotes payments after 45 days, which is this week

As Gareth left all the scousers and cockneys on the bench Sky obviously had to opt for one of the opposition instead.

Van Dyke is a very good player, no doubting that. As for being anywhere near the top 20 best players in the world, let alone 4th..... Words fail .....!

+1

Looks like Stones and Walker will get the media kicking tonight.

Stones was shocking tbh.

But actually the post-match discussion centred more around the lack of technical ability in midfield, which was evident when Barkley couldn't handle a good pass into him by Stones.

Maybe it’s time for Foden to be brought into the senior England squad now ...

Who cares, Southgate should get the kicking.

 

[Ribchester]

Whatever comes Stones Delph and to some degree Walker is well deserved this England team is crap was even worse in the World Cup. And for gods sake please don’t look at buying any of them especially Chilwell n Maguire

There's no defending John Stones after that display tonight, the kid just doesn't learn, whatever shit the media throw at him tonight well he deserves it!

Depends on your national disposition.

I, quite frankly, love the lad

Redknapp actually name dropped Foden as an example of players who can come in and be comfortable receiving the ball in tight spots. Surprisingly insightful take from him.

It's for another thread that debate. I predict he will be in the September squad after a good euros u21.

Yeah hopefully this coming season we see a bit more of Foden and he gets the call up to the England team,where was the Chelsea lad Hudson odoi..

injured.

Hopefully he does. It will be interesting to see how much he features for City next season. It felt like Pep used this season to ease him in. It's time to kick on now.

Hudson-Odoi suffered a terrible injury. Out for 6 to 8 months sadly. Loftus-Cheek too btw. Both of them are out until at least Oct/Nov.

Just glad he saved his worst performance for five seasons for an England shirt because i couldnt give a shit about them , lets see a confident ball playing world class centre half that he has the potential to be , back in a blue shirt next season

 

[cheekybids]

From the BBC,

Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk, mercilessly and totally inexplicably jeered by England's fans all night,

Was Sterling being booed ever described in such a way, *****!

Absolutely spot on. Get their mistakes out of the way playing for the perennial losers surrounded by jokers like Henderson and Lingaard.

Actually saw Loftus-Cheek’s injury in person (during a Chelsea friendly here. Captain of my league team is a Chav ( ;-) ) and took the team — didn’t look promising at the time and even said I thought he could have done his Achilles.

Very unlucky, as he was starting to press for an England place.
