Bloody hell John you almost had me crying for you. What a wonderful bloke and I`ve no idea what he`s going to be like on Sunday when he says his final goodbyes to the fans and his team mates.
Brilliant lad to have been a major success in our decade of wins.

 

[Macca77macca]

I am just devastated. He clearly just doesn’t want to go :(

Imagine if Eccles had to watch that

Whaddya mean? She is watching it. Albeit from a slightly different, but significantly better, location.

 

[Blue Potato]

Legend.

 

[hinchcliffes bulbous conk]

What an interview. He got us and we got him. Sat with his family in the main square in Madrid and they are warm and kind too. Going to miss him.

 

[jimharri]

Legend.

Damn it. Bloody hay fever.

 

[supercity88]

Damn onions.

 

[Don Karleone]

Loved how he said "our history".

 

[Saddleworth2]

Oh fuck. Johnny Stones, Bernie and Pep on Sunday. How are we going to cope with that.

Hey it's not all bad. We'll still have Savinho and Reijnders.

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

Legend.

Bloody hell

And he fucking hates Utd as well

 

[Ken92]

Wish he could have stayed healthy a lot more. Wouldn´t win the treble without him ,stepping up to the midfield was instrumental that season. Good luck for the rest of your career

You're right he really doesn't want to leave.
I watched Bernardo's interview and whilst he clearly loved his time here he was also ready to go and looking forward to his new chapter. With Stones, he doesn't want it to end, he doesn't want to leave his home.

 

[Saddleworth2]

You want me to cry some more?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

You want me to cry some more?

You will when i tell you Kalvin Phillips is still here; )

 

[Kakhaber The Great]

[jimharri]

Just watched his interview on the OS. He really does seem to be like a normal bloke; no airs and graces about him. You'd almost forget he's from the land that time forgot! It'll be a sad day on sunday when John, Bernie (and Pep?) say goodbye to lickle ol' Citeh. I suppose we've taken them (and all the other greats we've had) for granted, but we have indeed been truly blessed since we were founded in 2008.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Can't he just stay? Should've let him retire here.

 

[RayCTID]

There should be a Club Ambassador position ready for him and Bernie once they decide to retire.

 

[NOREX]

In the World Cup squad. Big risk for him if/when he gets injured while having no club.
