5 | John Stones - 2023/24

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Questions need to be asked as to why he needed to play both games.

There was no one else left?

Branthwaite sat on the bench for 180 mins across both games. What was the point of bringing him?

Similar to calling up Rico.

Southgate: “John Stones had to leave the pitch due to a problem with his adductor, more tests will follow”.

So what will that be... 2-6 weeks? More? It's such a frustrating time to be injured, especially as a result of pointless International Friendlies.

8 to 12 depending

Congratulations @Eccles Blue

You are not supposed to make me laugh when I am reading in bed as I nearly choked then with laughter!!




They wouldn’t have to pay me though! (Look I’m old not dead!! I can appreciate quality when I see it. He plays brilliant football.) *innocent grin*

I can’t be bothered looking him up but…who the heck is Branthwaite?


EDIT: forget I asked that. I remember that horrible little Everton player. If I remember correctly he tried to injure John Stones when we played them the other week!!

Same with Palmer lol

I’ve just read that JS was only on the pitch 10 minutes. Was he maybe being strategic/sensible? You know, keep in with Wally Waistcoat for the Euros but also keep himself in with Pep with a strategic ‘injury’? Too devious? ;-)

Ultimatum time. Needs to retire from international football in the Summer. If not I'd sell him. Sick of this shit.

I don't get players wanting to play for their country, with the amount of games for top clubs like City Arse and dippers
especially with that dipstick in charge of England, just be honest and say no friendly's or I retire to many games
