Warning: do not watch the Official Trailer for FC 25 unless you are planning to immediately replace whatever the screen is attached to.

Making it very obvious that the good overcame the evil.

Jonathan Liew, our mate at the Guardian wrote about when the Spanish match turned against us, that throw in. It's this line that got me..
'Walker a powerful man, takes a run up, winds up those fearsome, Carrington-carved muscles.........

I'm focused on a word, maybe it's me but come on, no one, not even Liew is that stupid.

There's something worse than the Carrington mistake in there. It's a racist trope to describe the physicality of black sportsmen, who are seen as 'muscled' and 'powerful' rather than technically gifted.

The liberal Guardian showing its underlying racist attitudes again.

I think the "Carrington carved muscles" jibe is a way of referencing PEDs or steroids.
I could be wrong;-)
Wasn't there once a famous sportsman escaped through a toilet window to avoid drug testers at Carrington.

Ah yes, did that toilet window incident involve a member of the "Bash Street Kids" in The Beano ?

As much as I rate Bellingham, and I do, I've not seen such a mismatch between PR and actual talent since Eric Cantona

There’s a redundant Marcus Rashford PR machine temporarily feasting on Bellingham before the Kobbie Mainoo entree.

Mbappe has called it "An honour" to carry water for Bellingham and looks forward to cleaning his boots.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Not seen it, but I'm guessing teams scoring against us?

Guessing someone out of Mbappe or Bellingham?

It’s all about Bellingham and City is just there to be thwarted.

 

[Blue Pete]

Imagine if Bellingham played for City and Foden for RM all the pundits/Clickwhores would he telling us
- Bellingham is arrogant, selfish, and doesn't play for the team, whilst
- Foden is a selfless generational talent and we should build a team around him.

As it is they can all go F##k themselves, I know who I want at my club.
