Phil Foden to leave England camp

[kev20971]

"bitter journalists... because footballers get paid 2 or 3 times what they do"? Show me a journalist who gets paid 1/3 (?!?!) of a Premier League footballer, and I will show you one very happy very much unembittered journalist!!

Sorry didn't know journalists are so badly paid .
So what are journalists on £150 a week ?

Our Academy has at least given young lads a great start and over 100 have fulfilled careers in the game. However has it ever produced a real star in the last 30 years spent 24 hours now thinking about this since Phil’s misdemeanours.
In my view the closest we came was
Paul Lake - but denied thru injury
Michael Johnson - injury and booze not sure in which order
Possibly a self proclaimed Superman
Phil Foden

which makes you realise the only one which every kid should look to was Shauny Wright Wright Wright
- came from a difficult background
- had that idiot step father distraction in his life And career
- stuck with us when not being used in the start of his career ( like Phil)
- never complained never gave any stories
- won 36 England caps
- never complained and accepted sacrificing his city career to save the whole club
- never sold the story
- returned to the club and simply continued where he left off
- never complained when he didn’t get into the semi or final fa cup teams
- never complained about racist attacks notably on England duty ( FA offered no support)
- great family man lovely kids ( from a very young age )
- couldn’t contain his joy at end of that qpr game
- just ignored that twat Southgate When he accused him of being a diver
- son in our academy

to quote the great man
“I just let the football do the talking”

With due respect to Merlin But if Phil wants a role model then he’d be well advised to seek out Shaun

Crazy world, moving so fast even ive moved on and just hope he , the mother of his kid and the nipper are ok and thats that ffs Mahrez, Jesus get onside, oh Kyle, 3 girls and a ferret, no excuses!

 

[BringBackSwales]

He’s been a dick, been found out and is paying the price.

He’ll get a two week fine from the club and that will be that.

If he wasn’t such a good player he’d be moved on by the club but he is so he’ll make a grovelling apology written by a PR consultant and that will be the end of it.

I doubt he’d be moved on, whatever level of player he is? He is extremely daft but something he has time to learn from, and I am sure he will

 

[BringBackSwales]

I sincerely hope we are not witnessing the start of a Michael Johnson/ Stephen Ireland debacle

theyve been done over by a pair of slappers worlds full of them. But they are idiots to allow such women to do them over like this

Sorry which ones are “the slappers” here?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Mate. Why on earth do you have this picture?

Are you suggesting he was there?

 

[purplenose]

The power of the punani got to him. Should be allowed to take partners to away games. So that they all kept in check.

Give over.

Wardrobe w#nker.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

They're not royalty, they've come from the same area's most of us live in. He's fucked up, he knows it, the whole of the UK know it. The idea that one mistake now makes him a **** and tarnishes his whole career until he retires is ludicrous.

Nobody is saying it will tarnish him for the rest of his career is it?

But he's fucked up and will he will need to cop the initial outrage on the chin - no point treating him like a baby.

I find it astonishing that on this thread there are people blaming Southgate, the FA, anything to convince themselves these two have been anything other than a massive pair of spoilt cunts.

People are trotting out age as an excuse....give it a rest, there is no excuse whatsoever. If you are in the England team you are rightly expected to be mature enough to take the responsibilities that come with it. Brilliant story for the grand kits..."tell me about your England debut grandad".

The one saving grace is that both of these two now owe England and their clubs big time both are talented enough to repay that debt big time. It has happened when they are very young and therefore hopefully the lesson will be learned and save them and us from any future bellendery.

As for the domestic consequences I wiould imagine both will have an interesting time of it when partners and parents get hold of them, I have no sympathy on that score other than for those who have been let down by them much much more than us fans.

Its not then end of the world and maybe in time will prove to be the boot up the arse both clearly needed and hopefully they will go on to have great careers....(even the rag...through gritted teeth).
