Yes, it even picks up and drags the chalk to make the lines wider...

Rats. We got rid of all the snakes, it's red rats we have problems with now. That and fairweather Dublin GAA fans.

Follow the blues and the Dubs, not fairweather part of Heffos army in the late seventies. Mum from north Dublin her family all rags, thankfully msnc dad a loyal blue and I followed him.

I didn't know Garth Crooks was a crack user. Mind blown.

the pipe never goes out ? new reports because of covid-19 he's turning to crystal myths and i can see it in his team of the week and his review of phil fodens game vs liverpool

Me too, we must be the 5% ??

The other 95% have all moved over here and worked with me until recently.

I can tell from your use of pish you're not English but, I've seen numerous excuse makers on here say that there's no agenda, it's all in our mind. Well here's an English player who admittedly is nowhere near the finished product but just imagine how good he could be, a potential B d'O winner. Every English media type should be fully behind him.

Although I have very little interest in International football the fact that people like Crooks are calling him over-hyped when I look at other English 'talent' like Rashford, Jessie (what a prospect!!!!) and Greenwood tells us all we need to know about the hatred for all things City, imagine the wankfest if he was a rag or even a dipper.

Yes but what you're showing is classic Confirmation Bias and paranoia. I have rarely heard such hype about a young English player like I've heard this week. The papers are doing features on him. He was the main interview on Football Focus. Talk Sport have talked about practically nothing else. I bet his agent's phone is ringing incessantly. Yet we've got post after post on here because some obscure nomark "pundit" in some corner of the internet probably hasn't watched him and is clueless enough to make a daft comment like that.

Your concern should be that Foden is getting overexposed and hyped, not the other way around.

The FA found 2 vaccines for City a lot quicker than the discovery of the COVID vaccines..... VAR & PGMOL

You forgot..... FFPIZER.

The media will build Phil up, especially when he plays for England, but then they will knock him down at the first opportunity. That's the way they have always operated. There's a streak of bitterness running through the English media which sets it apart from other countries. To be fair, perhaps they are just pandering to their audience. A lot of people in the UK seem to love revelling in people's downfalls.
I think this is one of the reasons why we have usually failed at International level football. The English football media (especially the tabloids) is mostly a negative and destructive influence. Watching football is a joyous thing for match-going fans but this passion is rarely reflected in press coverage.

Too right. Some of them managed to fuck Gascoignes career, and head, right up.
