Phil and Jack on the lash?

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Just wonder if Jack and Phil had played at Newcastle if the score could have been different.

Sliding doors moment.

 

[Keeper!]

so your basically saying players are not allowed some free time to themselves?

To get to the very top , getting pissed is simply not an option.

Show me where I said that. Nobody is denying them some spare time to themselves. They just have to not be unprofessional and irresponsible during that time. Not if they want long careers at this club anyway. There are numerous football clubs that don’t set the standards of MCFC. But to be at an elite club, we should demand that they act like elite athletes. And Pep does, luckily for us.

Can't blame the media for this. Pep has clearly seen something not right And is doing something about it.
Of course dropping two high profile international footballers for bad behaviour and making that news public is news worthy.
It is just about to be discussed on Talksport and they will be getting it both barrels.
The fact that Jordan hates City means I have just switched to radio 4.

Did you catch the back end of Women's Hour to piss you off even more?

Send the pair of them on loan to the rags as punishment.
They won't touch another drop after that, guaranteed.

Jack and Phil
went up a hill
to find themselves a nightclub
Jack fell down drinking Newcastle brown
and Phil got frisky on Whiskey.

The funniest part of this thread is men in their 50s giving out fashion advice to a lad in his 20s. I've seen how some of you all dress at Eastlands, lads, let's maybe keep this on topic.

Good idea.The way young guys dress is a source of mirth.

Well they went voluntarily to rags according to her “ He brought me a city top! I showed him the theatre of dreams!” the caption read.

WOW, opened your crackers a bit early i see. ( dont give your day job up ) !

That is my day job! It's busy on the run up to Christmas.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Couple of young lads went and had a few too many at Christmas, Came into work a bit worse for wear the next day. Got a ticking off from their boss. That's it end of. Nothing more to see here.

 

[Phil1]

Some proper bad overreacting going on here for a change..

Blue old timers are dedicated followers of fashion compared to.....

 

[Bonzo Nododo]

You can add Kennedy, Whitley and Howey onto that list

Oh for those carefree days when the players (and Joe Royle) having a laugh from lunch time to well after midnight in (or outside) that bar in Water Lane in Wilmslow.
I much prefer to see the football and the trophies that come with it nowadays though.
I hope that these two had the sense to travel to work and back in a taxi.

They will probably start drinking more ,imo.
That punishment is a lot to cope with.

 

[bluemoon32]

It's no point comparing today with the pissheads of the past.
Many of our shit players of the past could have drank 15 pints, ate every kebab in the shop and taken every drug known to man and they wouldn't have played any worse than usual.
This is a storm in a teacup but i'm still glad Pep put his foot down and showed them who's boss.
Now it's up to them whether they listen to Pep or if they're gonna get all arsey about it and refuse to see that they were wrong.
I think they'll listen

But with many PL clubs not able to play because of Covid, there is a bigger picture here

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Jack and Phil went out on the lash
For a bit craic and some lager
Jack came back with a nasty rash
And both missed the next match after

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Not sure its the amount of alcohol is the main concern , English players have a different attitude to drink its maybe a culture thing growing up around adults who partake in the amber liquid , where as european and south american players engage in a couple of glasses of wine the English will drink a gallon of ale.
Jack & Phil were stupid because of the covid variant which is rife at the moment putting themselves , family and team mates at risk , with a packed fixture list on the horizon i can understand Pep's concern the last thing we need is players falling ill. Hopefully it is now dealt with internally with disciplinary measures and after their rest at Newcastle both will be selected against Leicester along with Walker to nip in the bud any more snide articles from the media.
