Phil Foden to leave England camp

[Bigga]

Couple of things here
Why on earth did the management pair them together in the room?. Beyond stupid.
Also it's high time social media with players is banned and phones confiscated around game days.
What on earth where they thinking?
Pep should send Foden out to Grimsby for a month on loan as punishment.
Unbelievable.

You make a valid point on the management. It could easily be on them to not man-manage/ micromanage this down to a tee.

What was wrong with pairing Foden and Greenwood with elder statesman members of the team?

They're the newbies, ffs!!

Pretty shit management, if you ask me!

That doesn't make a difference to them.

They moved on cos Sterling got his game together and he stopped partying or whatever they accused him of.

So it was a complete coincidence that they stopped calling Raheem AND started praising him the moment he wrote that article criticising the different ways they portrayed Phil and Tosin buying a house for their mum?

OK.

It's not to do with being thick, it's to do with being young. As for being led by your dick as a 20 yr old surely that is fairly standard?

Again like I have already said, there is a time and a place for everything, in a team hotel after your England debut has to probably go down the route of one of the worst times ever and even if you're as thick as pig shit you would still know that beforehand.

To be frank with you, it is a shite excuse tbh boys will be boys though, eh!

I can fully agree with this, as long as it isn't Walker ;)

Didn't the 'praise' come AFTER he became the face of Nike's BLM UK...?

Why are you trolling? You can't possibly be that clueless about what happened?

Nope.

It all started after he was racially abused at the Kremlin. That was on 8th December 2018.

He posted this criticism of the media on 9th:

Raheem Sterling: Manchester City forward says newspapers 'fuel racism' in football

Newspapers are helping to "fuel racism" by the ways in which they portray young black footballers, says Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling.

The papers' attitude towards him changed immediately.

No you don't understand. I'm not excusing it, it was wrong. I'm just saying it's within the bounds of normal stupidity for an immature or perhaps even averagely mature 20 yr old. If a three year old pisses his pants on a long car journey or at the shops it's wrong - some three year olds have more maturity, but it's hardly abnormal. We all explain the dangers of fire to our kids and they understand, but at some point they will play with matches. I'm not excusing him, or saying it's ok, I'm saying the reaction is ott and a bit obsessive. I mean the photos posted of his arse hanging out in a hotel room on here by adults - is that more normal and acceptable than a young lad going back to his room with a lass?
Worth remembering that Ryan Giggs was a model professional.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Is it ok for Phil to go out on a Friday night and get wasted, maybe have a few balloons as lots of 20yo do that?

No. What I'm saying is he would be no better or worse and the act would be no better worse if he did it.

 

[WestGorton]

Maybe having a baby would make a young man grow the fuck up.

Cheating, or in this case possibly cheating, on the mother of your child is not ‘laddish’ behaviour, it’s a cunts trick.

I don’t see why so many people are trying to defend Phil over this. He’s been a dick, deserves his punishment and will hopefully behave better in the future.

So you know what happened? The only obvious folly is the covid thing. It's nothing. Get off that cross as we need the wood for fire mate.

 

[Mister Harvey]

Sorry for the pedantry but it was actually Bridge street. Wasn't it the place where Crazy Pedro's now stands?

 

[A57 the snake]

I’ll watch this with interest Gareth being in your company on 21st may 1999 in Santa ponsa with the England u21 end of season piss up the day before the Wigan play off game ,
What comes around mate ... oh my my word !!!
practice and preach come to mind here fella .

Yes, that's where it was.

Why are posters fixating on the on tour drilling element of this and missing the real issue? The extra marital on tour drilling is his own problem amd to be resolved behind his own front door. The issue is that he breqched the bubble that is enforced in order to allow football to even be played in the first place, and thereby put his squad mates at City at risk of not being able to play. Mahrez and Laportw are out already. He has not helped the club by his actions. Im not married to him and I dont care who he fucks inside or outside of his relationship as that isnt our problem and not one we should care about. The issue is taking the piss out of the measures that authorities and organisers are taking in order for us to watch live sport and not repeats of Euro 1992 on bbc4

Bloody hell Kaz l didnt realise they checked his testis for the virus;)

Ha ha,duh

Bearing in mind, Foden is still a kid in amongst the very people that you say are his peers. Did you lead by example in your peer group being paid tons of money or not? Do you think that people thought you were no fun, if so?

I know I was way too old for my similarly aged peer group and acted like a twat later on trying to re-enact that youth and freedom, so I would rather Foden get it out of his system now and develop mentally and socially as well as responsibly for his son, in the main.

His partner? Well, it takes two to make a baby and I'm sure she's as 'good as gold' as anyone can be getting preggers at such an early age with a footballing fella and all that money and social media attention with fame and...

Well, maybe I'm a little cynical, but she has the Colleen Rooney road to her own 'respect', should she need a way forward...

They have been together since they were really young,interesting you would attack her
this thread is fucking disgraceful

Okay, that's fair enough. It's just that I was pretty sure that not long after the whole Sterling - Foden comparison that Sunday Supplement pundits were defending themselves on their articles.

I accept to be put right as, like I said, I pretty much stopped absorbing any of their collective shite as anything newsworthy.

 

[kaz7]

I wasn't being pedantic. You clearly stated they took people into the bubble. I simply replied they did not.

You haven't spoken to me in ten years ,why today ?

 

[kaz7]

They will be on I'm a celebrity or celeb big brother / celeb come dancing next

interesting you don't pick him up for calling them slappers

As well this bubble being so important.... Where ever the bubble joined the rest of the hotel, there must have been some system to keep outside folk from getting in. And if that was the case then surely it would have stopped inside folk from getting out....
