Fernandinho is 5'10 and played there for a season? Premier league has mostly moved on from hoofing the ball up to the big man. Can't speak for Ten Haag style but under Pep we dominate possession vs majority of teams so most of Fernandinho's aerial duels were dealing with speculative long balls up to an opponents isolated forward that if he lost rarely mattered anyway as there was no-one to get onto any flickons ect. He came unstuck vs counters ect but that was due to age not height.

Cucurella(5'8) played there often for Brighton last season. Kalvin Philips - 5'10 for Leeds too
I get your drift but when it comes to this position a good big un always comes out on top. That said it would not be hard for this guy to do better than the big useless fucker the rags have currently in this position.
 
Wow. The Daily Fail outdid herself. There’s only one club in England. And one manager. It must be a hell of a relief to all other clubs and managers to know they they can work in the shadow of a huge failure for a decade now. Keep it going DF. Let’s have another 12-15 stories about that lot. Save me loads of time reading.
 
That’s not the same though, mate.

We have a whole thread redirected to the disgraceful antics of our media and the way they report unsubstantiated and untrue allegations without any consequence and I keep seeing this story on here around Ferdinand fucking around while his wife was dying of cancer (which is far worse than swerving a drugs test) and I’ve never seen a single source to even begin to establish it. Happy to be pointed to one by any poster.

Not saying he isn’t a ****, because he is, but it’s a pretty low thing to accuse someone of such a thing in the absence of anything to back it up, and it diminishes our grounds to (rightly) criticise the press when they do the same thing.

It just seems to have become accepted as fact on here, without anything discernible (as far as I can see) to back it up.

Happy to be shown the error of my ways by being pointed in the right direction.
Yep. As I understand it - and I could be wrong on this - his wife passed away after a relatively short illness. No doubt he played away during their marriage but all the accounts of his infedility appear to long pre-date his wife becoming ill. That doesn't excuse his extra-curricular activities of course but I'm finding it very difficult to believe that he was getting his end away while his wife was on her death bed.
 
The same as the Mirror. They all might as well be rag fanzines. BBC are the same. It makes me wonder if the rags have some kind of agreement with our media not to print anything negative about them.

There has to be something going on between the rags (and the dippers) and the British media: this constant fawning and overly-exaggerated adulation from the press and the tv stations here is definitely engineered: it's being done to promote both red-top clubs and the media wouldn't do that unless there was something in it for them.

All about £££££ with clicks

100% and I don't believe it's just clicks. Some consideration is changing hands.

The BBC selection of televised FA cup ties once the rags are involved is a massive indicator.

Certainly the Telegraph and maybe the rest, are running the story that Ten Weeks might extend Wantawayron's contract. Do these hacks not ask questions of rag managers for fear of being blanked ?
'Ten, your star player doesn't want to play for you, why are you saying you might force him to stay an extra year?
It really is pathetic.
 
fucksake every paper is running story after story about these no mark cunts.

As soon as the rags kick a ball they will revert back to an irrelevant shit stain that needs flushed.

it is indeed... and like it or not, they generate more clicks... as a journo working for a company running seven national newspapers, it drives me crackers but they do follow the money. The Mail is the worst though, rarely see a City story on the 'City page' - and if you do it's seven below Scouse or Rags
 
I see the BBC have rolling commentary of their game against Palace and it is their headline.
It seems bizarre that United, Liverpool and Palace all played round robin games, yet just the Liverpool v Palace game ended with Liverpool getting a trophy from their own sponsors.
