A few media snippets to keep the debate going
(1) Just reading the comments on the "Phil Foden Players Thread" in respect of Shrek's remarks on Phil Foden's England performances. The very thought of Shrek sitting down and "penning" an informative and readable 500 words on any subject (apart from Grannies - of course ) Well come on !! Presumably ghost-written by Jonathon Northcroft after a brief chat with the new Derby County manager ( well -managementwise - these ex-united players can do no wrong - can they ! ) Actually, to be fair to Shrek - most of these footballing articles are "ghost-written" on behalf of the various "footballing legends" - Micah included ( ?? )
(2) From yesterday's Torygraph : Barclays to pay £48m over toxic deal linked to ex-Man Utd stars. So, who were these "stars" and " men of integrity" : The resorts owned by Azure were marketed as being being backed by Mr Giggs and Mr Neville. At least the former golden boy and Family Man no longer regales us with his pearls of wisdom on the box. Indeed - he now seems to have disappeared entirely from the public view - can't think why.
(3) And so on to the latest golden boy manufactured by the Old Trafford Ministry of Truth ( prop. -Neil Ashton ) So, who heads "The Sunday Times Giving List" -none other than St Marcus of Wythenshawe. Apparently he managed to give away 125% of his accumulated wealth last year. I am not sure whether that included the £25M his minders conned out of Boris. Still... impressive.. did he borrow the extra 25% ? I believe St M is proving quite the dab-hand at property investment which is rather surprising if he gives all his money away.
I'm left wondering who fed The Sunday Times with this puffery about St M. I guess it sells the shirts though. YCMIU.

I doubt Rooney can write his own name. Who remembers the story of him telling his teammates when he chose to move to Prestbury that the village had a pub with his surname. It’s named the Admiral Rodney.

'Lies, damned lies and statistics'. Winston foresaw the second coming of the holy one and his new version of the Sign of the Cross as taught to him by the penalty winning maestro. There was a problem with the left shoulder first - -St Marcus hasporoblems with left and right.

So basically Phil is to good to play for England.
Phil has won fa cups ,league, cups, premier league.
Sancho and Grealish have won er er er
 
Trevor Morley's Tache said:
Yeah. Apparently if he'd have gone on loan to Blackburn he'd now be capable of clogging opposition players and hoofing it up to the big guy up top.

But surely Phil has been picked for England because of how he players for City ! Why didnt southgate just pick players from Blackburn to play hoofball lol

Fancy being to good to play for your country.... could only happen in England lol

Football appears to be a lot more tactical these days, and I suspect it affects a lot of players in a similar way - where they're drilled into playing in a particular style.

Alexander-Arnold has some astonishing skills, but he plays in a team which is almost built around him and Robertson, with half the team covering in defence, and the rest pulling everyone into the centre, so that they have time to run up and down hitting crosses. Put him in the England team and he's just not the same player.

Foden looks like he has no-one to pass to when he plays for England - he wants to receive the ball, pass and run, get it back, pass again - but for England IF he finds someone to pass to, they'll often go off and do something else!

Southgate doesn't seem to be tactically astute enough to get them all playing together, so has made the best of it with a safety first approach, and hoping that someone will do something special at the other end of the pitch.

well you can see that by the fact that Italy look the best team in the tournament and they have the most renowned club manager out of everyone there. You can argue Enrique but anyone who picks Morata is a blithering idiot. Italy look the most cohesive unit and that is down to being well-drilled and tactically astute so the managers are playing a key role, for good and bad.
 
Rug heads wisdom is rarely equaled. The absolute tosh emitting from his rag gob is something else.
