Phil Foden to leave England camp

Think a lad stitching his mrs and kid up is something to be condemned personally.

Partly why I've never understood this trend of footballers having kinds when they are so young. 20 years of age to have a baby is incredibly young now and based on this story, shows that Phil can barely keep his act together on England duty let alone father a child.

So what? We're so used to this forensic bullshit we've taken it as a given, but it's not, what you're engaging in used to be called prurience.

I've a bright idea, he'll get a slap, but beyond that it's nobody's business but his own.

Utter nonsense. Criticise his footballing performances all you like. Football is a game of opinions. When it comes to his personal life it's non of our business.

If you've never fucked up in your life, fair play. But imagine the first time you do when you're a 20 year old lad and it's plastered all over the news. It's simply non of our business and a reflection on the toxic nature of this countries obsession with celebrities.

I seriously believe you are out of your depth in discussing this incident and what he has done.

When in the end of season review, his Chairman was talking him up so much, then a couple of weeks later he brings shame on the club,I would not like to be in his shoes.

Khaldoon is not a man who likes to see employes taking the pi** out of the club, he will be warned , then it's up top him.

I haven’t condoned the boys behaviour but I don’t understand why you think it’s acceptable behaviour by the girls. It’s not ok in my book so we must agree to differ. Just hope any of my female relations would know better.

You are blaming the girls ,kids hook up all the time over social media,the one in the position of responsibility is the one in the wrong

Anyway ,he has been banned for four England games

I don’t know maybe it’s a culmination of things. Liverpool walked the league last season, a team focused and professional on and off the pitch. Stark contrast To sex parties, wives Gobbing off About our manager and tactics on social media, sneaking girls into your room 2 minutes after getting your first England call up.

ive seen his statement on twitter and as apologies for it’s pretty fucking weak ! We have a few in our team who need outright binning off and some who need the riot act. We’re too fucking soft on this kind of thing and it shows on the pitch .

I support mcfc primarily and if any player takes the piss out of the club I love then I fully believe they need dealing with strongly.

These players are not objects the club owns, they are employees. There is some behaviour off field that the club might feel it has to be seen to do something about, but what Foden did is so far off that mark as to be barely worthy of comment.

I don't know about prurience, maybe we need to rediscover perspective.

Oh, those calling for Foden to have his knackers chopped off, if you voted for Johnson last December, you know where the door is.

Well I grew up watching Colin Bell, our manager didn't. Just saying he's got a long way to go.

I completely agree , he will have many ups and downs.

This weekend was a massive own goal on his part, let's see how he responds, it will give a good indication of his character .

Agree with that, not sure why some of these footballers are having kids so early - seems stupid. I am 32 and only recently have most of my mates even started having kids.

I think with the lives these guys live, having someone there as a constant is beneficial for them. They need that grounding.

The other side is, they have the potential to be with more women than most of us could only dream of. A lot of them will give into that temptation and have - they are men, they are human. Phil Foden is super talented, probably fairly mature for his age, but even still.... he's a 20 year old kid.

I'm the same age as you and I know when I was 20 I was an absolute fucking idiot who didn't about the consequences of anything. I'm not going to throw the book at a guy, nor at the Rag.

Are Southgate and the FA completely washing their hands of any kind of responsibility here?

Who in the England set up decided it was ok to let an 18 yr and 20 yr old lad room together? Where was security when these two girls appeared sniffing round the squad? Where was security when the two lads were allowed to wander out of the bubble? If there was nobody there to stop this its a fairly safe bet that there was nobody to stop any random entering the bubble

The waistcoat has completely hung these 2 out to dry... no surprise really as he's a weak yes man

Expect a visit from the morality police for your opinion fella.....this is why Southgate couldn’t answer any questions yesterday, he was either dropping the FA in it or chucking the two lads under the bus, instead he just left it for others to decide, which lead to open season on them. Weak management, Pep would of come down on Phil much tougher, then thrown an arm round him & stated he’s part of the City family & we will guide him through this

I’m sick of it to be honest. If it were up to me Walker wouldn’t be at this club after his antics recently. No time for this kind of stuff at all and it just shows a huge lack of respect for the club when we are so under the microscope all the time.

as for Foden he’s behaved appallingly and if he’s cheated on his girl on top of everything else Then I’d support the club putting him back in the reserves for abit. We have to start putting our foot down with this kind of behaviour because this isn’t the fucking party bus it’s a family club.

whole team were fucking shite last season and it’s time they bucked up their ideas

Listening to Kompany on Onuoha's podcast, we're missing some authority from within the squad.

It's one thing having a talking to from a manager, but it's something else from a fellow player.

There are two issues, the first was the temptation to go with another woman, and the consequences he faces for that will be between him and his family.
The bigger concern, and the reason he has been sent home, was a blatant disregard to the Covid protection mandated to enable football to be played atm. At 20 years of age, he knows what is right from wrong in that respect, and there should be no one trying to sweep that under the carpet due to his age.
The country is already struggling with youngsters already ignoring the advice given, the last thing we as a country need, are people held in such high esteem and influence compounding what already is a worrying trend.

What I said was “Phil appears to be just another ****”. Which his actions have shown, yes, very much so!

I’ve got a 20 year-old Cousin who I’m quite close to. He’s a bit of a typical 20 year-old, likes a drink with the lads and all that. But he’s got a girlfriend and hasn’t felt the need to get his worm in some prozzies while he was away for a weekend, cheating on his bird. Nor has he broken any COVID rules that his workplace have put in place or the laws set out by the Govt.

Only cunts do those things and Phil’s done them both!
