[better dead than red]

I just came across this piece re: Phil and Grealish. It is interesting and I figured I'd share it.

Foden clip won’t play for me.

 

[give it to gordon]

Lol I can just imagine them getting back in the changing room only for Southgate saying ...you can cut out that fancy stuff you are playing for England not Brazil or Spain lol.

Just like what happens in kids football '"dont try that fancy stuff just boot it"

Never mind kids it’s Fat Sam’s, Pulis’ and several other managers’ philosophies too.

How dare Foden be good at football and not just hoof it up the park like they did in the '90s. Bastard.

Grealish would be even less English if he had stayed with Ireland

We are entering a golden age of English football again IMO.

All we need now is a manager who isnt a complete clown.

Not read the article but just from the title, it is such a tired and outdated opinion. This isn't the 80's/90's it's been 20-30 years now since that tag of English football being a physical aerial league with the first thought being a long ball has been true.

He's fucking at it. Skill? Dribbling past players? How fucking dare he and fancy headband entertain and get us to love the game? Something needs to be done. What a pair of cunts.

Oh, and if England don't want them, I will find Scottish relations, if I need to kill a couple and forge a few documents.
