I hope Pep gets on the phone to southgate and tells him what a wanker he actually is, making Phil play 2x90 minutes in pointless games at a crucial point of the PL season.

I want Pep to say Southgate would be perfect for the rags job in his press conference. They'll snap him up immediately.

Just came in and caught the end, how bad is the Stones injury?

He looked fine didn't take a risk playing on.

Bellingham’s the dogs bollocks and he knows it. Comes across as a dick but you need that attitude sometimes in football.

You really don't. It's a team game. He draws glory for himself, reducing the cohesion of the team.
It's difficult to know how we would fare without him around cos he's glued to that starting line-up now.
But the comparisons to Pogba are clear. Maybe he wins us a pot, but more likely he will lose us it.

hang on. whats croatia up to as well in some friendly tournament in egypt? Gvardiol has a half to survive

Did he ?

 

[John Wayne]

He looked fine didn't take a risk playing on.

I thought the fact he got to his feet so quickly indicated he was fine. The touchline reporter said he was walking perfectly fine to take his place on the bench for the second half.

That's weird...

Johnny Big spuds with great players around him.

Though he was pretty poor tonight not a good as Foden despite the hype.

Hope your right pal.

Me too.

 

[Barcon]

I never said it wasn't. But the poster intimated Bellingham isn't a special player, which is fully cooked denial. He's comfortably in the top five players in the world this season.

No he didn't. He said, "He's a selfish, self serving ****".

Hope you're right but we all know what John is like.

Reckon he’s fit for the gunners?

Messi is the greatest player ever. Cruyff is one of the greatest players ever. My definition of incredible is fine. Going off the season, he's an incredible player. Unless you're only allowed to use the words "very, very good" or "great".

Let's flip it, is Phil an incredible player?

Phil is a better footballer, his actual talent exceeds Bellingham. Bellingham is a very good footballer. I don't watch Madrid so only see him for England or against city. I have yet to see him have an incredible game.

Smoke gets blown up young players arses to much and too soon. I don't see him do anything that very good midfielders haven't been doing for many many teams over the years.

 

[John Wayne]

No idea. Gut feeling says no.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

5 1/2 surely ?

Clocks go forward, mind

Pogba..

Made of glass lads had more than his fair share of injuries, did look ok walking a half time though so hoping for the best.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you but you look at Cristiano Ronaldo as an example. We all hated him for his arrogance but it served him well in the big moments especially in the Champions League for Madrid as he was always there stepping up to score. Not saying Bellinghams close to him in ability but he’s a good example of how that arrogance/belief can drag a team through.

Pogba..

It would be to our advantage if his attitude turned him out that way.
