Kalvin Phillips interview in the Sunday papers

[bluemoon32]

Think mention of his mum being unhappy with Pep was maybe a step too far???

I'm sure will be worried about upsetting Mrs Phillips

Nice enough guy but just not good enough to make it in a trophy winning team.

 

[Sale Moor Blue]

Honestly cry me a fucking river.
The guys earning thousands and thousands of pounds each week whilst most of us struggle to pay the gas and electricity bills.
I struggle to see how not playing can depress someone so much.
And as regards his mum and mean really?
We're not at fucking school.
The guy is simply not good enough and didn't make the most of the opportunity.
His was over awed from day 1.

Crying to the tabloid press (possibly paid for the interview). The same tabloid press which has spent a decade trying to destroy our club. Utterly pathetic.

Nail on head. You can add totally unprofessional to that list too coming back 1.5kg overweight.

Yep but as usual it's someone else's fault

Cry baby nonsense. He found himself in the best squad in the world and couldn’t make it into the first team. How sad.

Lost a lot of respect for him.

He’s out on loan at West Ham now so for the time being he’s their problem,and as far as I’m concerned he was just out of his depth at City,his mindset was/is weak and definitely just not what we thought we were getting in a player,I’m sure he’s a nice enough lad but just wrong for us ..

 

[Didsbury Dave]

There’s absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever in what Phillips has said here. He’s just talking about how tough it was for him, which it obviously was.

Agree.. I'm all for being empathetic, supportive and sympathetic to anyone who's ever in bother anywhere on this rock we're all hurtling through space-time on.. but sometimes you just have to man/woman up and get on with it..

Oh and by the way, thanks for the opening and closing sentences! The first reminded me I haven't listened to the divine Julie London for a while. The last then reminded me of the old joke about John Wayne's stilted delivery of his one line ("Truly, this man is the Son of Gawd..") at the crucifixion of Christ in his cameo appearance as a Roman centurion in 'The Greatest Story Ever Told'. Director George Stevens tried to drag more emotion asking him "Duke.. give me more.. say it with awe.." to which Wayne said, next take, "Aw.. truly this man is the Son of Gawd.."
