#47 | Phil Foden - 2021/22 Performances

[city2]

We never got these headlines with any of the foreign players we have signed, only the Brit boys make bad press, and Pep will not tolerate this.

The Big Bum Latina's story came out after he'd already been arrested, so I wasn't laughing about it, and I don't remember many others finding it funny either.

This hardly matters, but the bolded part is definitely not true and a lot of people found it hilarious at the time. Story came out a very very long time before he was arrested, back in January.

From memory Foden doesn't really drink, or he didn't a few years ago even when he was on the open top bus parade

To be fair I barely drunk at all when I was 19 and had a borderline drinking problem by 21. Not saying for a minute that he has a drinking problem but he's certainly at the most common age where people's drinking habits change.

He was arrested in December last year, remember? Everyone knew it was him but the press couldn't name him.

Bit of an assumption to say everyone.

Are we still talking about Phil Foden?

If I was Pep I’d tell Foden to get a decent haircut for starters! Looks like he was plucked out of the fucking Bayeux Tapestry!

Seems like Phil is taking the heat on this forum (rightly so) where as Jack as the senior pro gets no comments on his thread.

People don't care as much about Jack. He's not one of us in that same sense and everyone knew his reputation before he signed. Dare I say it's one of the reasons some of us weren't quite as keen on him joining.

Phil is local, younger and has talent Jack (and billions of others) could only dream of. He's already been caught fucking around and people will start to worry that he might go the way of other former England internationals, rightfully or wrongfully. Basically, he's just held to a higher standard and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

As it turns out, it looks like they were both bollocked for turning up to work hungover. No big deal but I hope it doesn't become a regular occurrence.

I just read Garth Crooks Team of the Week on the BBC website and he says he sees a comparison with Iniesta in Phil.

I wonder how he came up with that and why nobody else has ever thought of it !

 

[DWIFF]

I’d just let Fernandinho have a quiet word with the pair of them.
That’s all it needs.
