Given that they are 14th, the implication would appear to be that without his 'profound effect' they would have been staring relegation in the face. Now that is a glorious thought!

that is exactly the effect and by that logic, cunha should also be a vote for player of the year, if the criteria is being the only good player in your shite team and helping save their sorry asses from relegation when the reality is the only reason is the fact that we have 3 of the worst teams to ever grace the pl getting relegated this year.

No , no and no again, the fuck he has had a profound effect, its just the rest of the team has been so pathetically inept and useless that being able to kick a ball in a straight line makes you look world class in that shambles of a team, its the same reason why david beckham was lauded as a sex symbol when he played for them, he wasnt but if you put the elephant man next to ratboy and junior ratboy, the ginger toe sucker and the acne kid and the other addams family rejects then he would look good too.

Being less shite than everyone else around you does not make you good.

Yet when he helps feed the nation everyone takes the piss and calls him fish fingers. What do you want him to do to be a role model? Not drive down Kingsway? What a weird take.

Can't you see the irony, asking for kids school dinners ( rag PR) while parading up and down Kingsway in a gold Rolls Royce. No weird take mate. It's called being Humble !

The Ladyman story of his vote for Fernandes is a perfect example of the state of the media in 2025.

Click bait nonsense which is which even he doesn’t believe.

What a sad state of affairs that even the senior writers are now resorting to writing absolute nonsense in the search for maximum engagement.
 
I would have thought the likes of Chris Woods has had more of a profound impact on his side than that twat. Even Asensio at Villa has done better in half a season or even Kluivert at Bournemouth. Journo has had a fucking nightmare, should be made to write 10,000 lines saying 'I will not print shit just to garner clicks'

When Rashford was appealing for school dinners whilst driving his own Rolls Royce, paying top tax rates he was being scoffed at by tax avoiding scumbags in state owned chauffeur driven Rolls Royce’s like Boris.

We really shouldn’t condemn people looking out for kids & it was apparent the tabloids were attacking footballers wealth in a period of the biggest wealth transfer from working class to billionaires.

Even if he did use the "any player had a more profound influence on his team?" argument, he'd struggle to get past Salah who has single handedly won the league for the dippers. Presume no scousers will make that point in the comments (I havent looked)

Whoa...
What about "Thunderbird" Virgil ?
The best defender the world has ever seen and has never used thuggish behaviour to win a match...
 
Just had a survey request from the BBC "Your opinion matters to us", this should be fun...

It appears to be personalised so I can't share it unfortunately.

The problem I find when the bbc lies or manipulates facts about City which I’m knowledgeable about I don’t know if I can trust them on politics, foreign affairs etc

I remember years ago someone saying what will happen if there’s a national / international emergency & the public don’t trust or believe the life saving advice then covid came & the country was divided & still don’t know what to believe.

How do you know he is or was paying top tax rates.

He will be PAYE on his salary, earnings from his wealth would be a different matter but as he’s being accused of spunking his wealth on bling he’s unlikely to be hoarding it.

Of course some of the coverage is sycophantic but think of the kids who benefited rather than the PR. Unfortunately there’s likely more kids in poverty now than in Covid.

Just before COVID, BBC did a Panorama about a subject I'd feel I'm pretty knowledgeable about. There was nothing in it that was a lie, but there was misinterpretation, one sided reporting, statements from people with no knowledge which weren't countered or challenged. It was a biased stitch up job that was basically click bait.

I now treat them with the same view I would the Daily Mail or Guardian - it's some of the news, but a very one sided view of it
