Ronays flowery language can be impressive. His description of Conor Gallagher as someone who always looks like he's being chased by a lion tickled me. Obviously he would never say it about Ngolo KanteIt’s strange how Ronays word salads impress certain people when if you spend 20 mins reading his back catalogue you realise he’s full of shite and his own self importance.
He’s not the literary giant his ego believes he is.
I don't give a shit about his past catalogue. I never heard of the bloke before. I just read his piece on england/bellingham and it resonated with me. For non-word salad related reasons.It’s strange how Ronays word salads impress certain people when if you spend 20 mins reading his back catalogue you realise he’s full of shite and his own self importance.

Got to be honest I've been more people assuming that Phils getting the most stick on here than that actually being the case in general.Well after so many fans of other clubs not just ours surely we can’t all be wrong?
Mouthgate will never have the bollox to re position Bellingham in a deeper role, I get the impression he’s a little intimidated by the **** knowing that “who else” wants to be the headline news in any England game
Especially when the media are claiming he’s the second coming.
As expected and mentioned after the first game Phil’s getting all the stick up front and today all we are hearing is walker and stones have been gash.
confidence/arrogance WHEN you can back it up is fine aka ronaldo (yes he is a **** but he backs up his arrogance), confidence/arrogance when you dont consistently back it up aka anthony makes you look like a ****Has the world gone soft or something? So confidence/arrogance (in this profession) is now a bad thing?
I can’t think of another thread that his had so much guff posted in it.
Same here. Let's see how he is when he grows up and isn't the darling. It's not been so good so far, flapping his arms, moaning at team m8s, moaning at fans, not performing, generally throwing a tantrum tbh. But let's see.The guy is an arrogant **** on the field, I have never met him and have no idea whatsoever what he is like off the field.
But at 21 , going to the biggest side in the world and winning the La Liga , Champions League double I would say he is slightly entitled to be arrogant.
He was utter gash in the Denmark game like all his teammate's but produced an incredible moment of brilliance to score, his celebration, cuntish but again maybe he has earned the right.
When next season starts he will be under enormous expectation that comes with the game , let's see how he responds, until then I reserve judgment on him.
They are a buch of utter cnuts in my experence.Respectfully, many footballers are not exactly humble chaps on or off the pitch... Far from it
Great thread

In saying that the vast majority of the players at our club in the last decade apart from a couple of exceptions have need very good characters.
It was very unusual Birmingham City retired his shirt number...
I thought it was the money he brought in rescued them or something.Weird after just 41 games and 4 goals, they didn't even do that for Trevor Francis.

Fantastic PR exercise and it worked, why else would we be mentioning Birmingham City. (sorry Garrrrry ;))It was very unusual Birmingham City retired his shirt number...

Now he was a proper player.Weird after just 41 games and 4 goals, they didn't even do that for Trevor Francis.
It's telling me something I already believe so in the interest of not hiding my confirmation bias I'm going to say that's a great read and spot on ;)
In all seriousness, whilst I wish that was in a normal article form and not 50 separate tweets, and whilst I wish more of their arguments regarding holes in his game were backed up by some actual stats (You can have your own opinion on them, personally, I love stats), it does more or less nail what I already think to be true. He's an above average hugely, hugely marketable player, and a lot of forces with fuck all to do with football have vested interests in pushing him as this generations golden boy. I watch him play and I don't get the hype. Sometimes hype is literally just that. If you're told by all and sundry that he's amazing, it's natural to ignore his shortcomings and overegg his strengths, because so many people are saying it, so it must be true, right?
Nah - above average player, not half as good as he thinks he is, and is currently a net negative to this England side. I'm sticking with that until I see something to the contrary.
