5 | John Stones - 2023/24

[Eccles Blue]

I see John Stones has a few back page headlines this morning about him being fit enough for the next match.
Plus his determination to be ready for the first match. "Wild horses won't keep John out of the opener." just one of the quotes.
So let's cheer the lad on, even if some are not 100% behind him. He wears City Blue so he's ours through and through. (IMHO) :-)






I think it was John Wayne who used to say 'that's my boy'. So now I'm saying it.... that's my boy. ;-)

I wish the lad well this summer but the most important thing is he doesn't come back to us fucking injured again

That's probably a given though isn't it? Southgate will flog him like a dead Horse or until something goes and send him back to us I fear.

Let's hope he's home early then,club before country always.

Not asking for much based upon his usual history with Southgate :)

Don’t worry, the whole squad will be back in no time at all.

Not all on Southgate sadly, he has his job to look after and his interest, just like John Stones.

After a season of injury struggles why go and play 2 meaningless friendlies on the eve of his clubs most important period of the season?

The inevitable injury during those games was unnecessary.

A fit John Stones is England's best CB by a country mile, his selection for the Euro's was never in doubt so why risk injury in those friendlies?
