I think it's the rebel part. I remember Memphis impassioned speech after Benjamin Mendy got acquitted. Memphis is a "campaigner" on this matter, but €1m for someone he barely knows like that shows a fool easily parted with his money.

I just finish Tyson, Ali and Joe Frazier autobiographies and in all cases, you can see how these guys ended up broke. No discipline with money at all. Moving on to Roberto Duran who suffered the same fate.
Unfortunately, it is a recurring theme with sportsmen. They start making money when their brains are still developing, develop bad financial habits, and by the time they are mature enough to handle the money the well has dried up.

They are the only group who consistently go through those life phases backwards, i.e money before maturity, rather than maturity before money.

This guy get money pass sense

All the Brazilians wey dey dance Makossa with Alves inside dressing room no go save am, na Memphis wey no sabi Alves go save am

To comot money for this Memphis pocket go easy
I think they played together at Barca so they definitely known each other. Alves' Brazilian and long term Barca teammates failed him sha.

Apart from it being probably easy to get money from Memphis, he is a rebel, so this is the kind of cause he is likely to get behind.

Ashley Cole has been inducted into the Premier league Hall of Fame
Well deserved.

Arsenal Cole was one of the best attacking LBs in football.
Chelsea Cole was one of the best defensive LBs in football.

I would not say useless. More like superfluous or redundant.

Naaa Doc, this guy fall hand, especially with the child that came after the snipping. There are unusual occurrences that should trigger relentless questioning in a man.

The moment the wife got pregnant after vasectomy, he should have immediately started his finding. There was absolutely no way, a part of him did not question the situation.

From your story, it is clear he had been restless prior to the divorce on the paternity of the last child, especially when you consider how unusual it was but lacked the courage to pursue it.
True. Maybe he was gaslit into believing the wife. Who knows the internal dynamics of the marriage.
It was probably when it was time for child support that he mustered the courage to carry out the test.

Another angle to consider is that if he hadn’t gotten the vasectomy he would never have suspected or found out about it.

Are you sure Curtis jones will even make it to the euros

Gallagher ,Lol
Jones most likely won’t. He is yet to make his debut and he has also missed nearly 3 months of this season and will struggle to get enough minutes in the Liverpool midfield because of the form of McAllister and Szob, but he is better than Gallagher as a CM.

He might not start though
He be should not even start. The English press like to build up a player very high in order pull him down. Mainoo should be a sub and avoid the pressure. He only started playing regularly in November.

Gallagher is a mediocre CM and his AM chaos causing is not needed in a team that has Bellingham, Foden, Maddison. He should not even be in the squad if everyone is fit.

With everyone fit I would play Curtis Jones as the CM and Mainoo can come in for him as his sub. Jones has Gallagher’s energy but he is also bigger, stronger, and more technically secure.

Southgate will collect sticks from Media/fans/pundits no matter the team he puts out at the Euros. So make baba just choose the players that he believes will give England the best chance of winning the tourney (I expect them to crash at Semi/Quarter stage though).



Which kind setup be this? All these pundits ball knowledge no go kill me😂💔😂.
What i have observed is that ex-players from continental Europe tend to have superior tactical insight when talking about football, whereas those ex-England players usually give strange input.

Foden is likely to be an impact player from the bench at the Euros. Like you said: Saka offers more width and penetration than him at the RW. Also true for the LWs where the likes of Rashford, Gordon, or even Sterling are better options IMO. Foden's main competition should be Bellingham but from the past year's England games (including yesterday's), I think it's clear that Bellingham brings more to the team than him and has a better dynamic with Kane's tendency to drop back into MF role. Foden couldn't impose himself yesterday and was barely existent when he moved to the 10 role after the Bellingham sub.

If Man City goes on to win big trophies this season, Southgate will be in a very difficult position. He knows starting Foden from the bench might be the best tactical setup but that will incur the wrath of English fans who rates Foden as the best English talent. Walahi, big decisions ain't easy as a Coach but a man with balls has to make them!
Yeah. The best solution would be for one of them to chop bench. With the way the team is set up with their mechanical football and a relativity slow striker like Kane who also likes to drop deep, the better option would be Bellingham. In a vacuum, I prefer Foden as a 10 but in this haram style England team Bellingham might be the better option.

It’s not even the fans alone that are giving strange recommendations. I think Shearer was asking for Southgate to play Kane as the 10 and play Bellingham in CM with Foden on the wings.

Ah
The guy was lucky. The first born saved him from being childless and with no hope of correction.

Take a minute to consider the mind of the wife who probably knew/suspected the truth, yet encouraged him to have a vasectomy.

See this one grin
A man had 3 kids and then he and his wife decided that he should have a vasectomy. After the vasectomy his wife got pregnant. He thought it was due to vasectomy failure (which can happen) and accepted the baby.

It was when they later divorced he decided to carry out a DNA test on the last child, and he wasn’t the father. He carried out DNA tests on the 3 kids before the vasectomy, and only the first was his.

Southgate no sabi use Bellingham sha ,but na for euros we go finally confirm am
Let’s get one thing clear first. Southgate is a wack manager. Any good performance by an England player is not because Southgate knows how to use the player.

Secondly, Bellingham and Foden are both at their best in advanced central areas. Foden excelling on the right wing for Pep is because of a well-oiled machine that Pep created at City, which is not the case for England. Bellingham at the 10 and Foden on the wing will likely fail because of lack of fluidity (Bellingham) and lack of penetration (Foden).

The only solution that MIGHT have them in the same side with a successful outcome is if Bellingham sacrifices and drops into the 8 position and Foden plays the 10 position. The obvious question with Bellingham at the 8 and Foden at 10 is the possible lack of defensive solidity if Bellingham can’t maintain positional discipline. Another question is, how good is he really as a CM if he is not scoring goals.

Otherwise, one of them has to start at the 10 position while the other holds the bench, so that true 1v1 wingers like Saka, Bowen, Gordon, Rashford can play to offer a threat behind the opposition.

Getting both in the same team requires a fair bit of shoehorning, and might lead to a tactical imbalance, which is why I compared it to the Gerrard/Lampard situation.

Leyqute:
I think Foden was poor today. He just didn’t do enough and never looked threatening. It’s a friendly match, yes, but that shouldn’t blunt your attacking sense. Immediately Bowen replaced him on that right wing, he instantly became a threat.

Maybe Southgate got his position all wrong.
Foden and Bellingham might be the new Gerrard and Lampard. Playing one of them out of position in order to shoehorn them into the starting lineup might be England's undoing. That, and having a tactically inept manager of course.

Claiming you said? Nwanne, they actually did but Putin rubbished it, he perceived it as a slap to his face that intelligence is being gathered under his nose. You are talking about the world’s biggest intelligence gathering agency. Is this the first warning they would be giving?

Under the National Security Act of 1947 (Duty to Warn), the US has a responsibility of warning of any impending threat. Putin should and his supporters like you should take responsibility for failing to protect people who ended losing their lives lost and stop looking for who to blame.

Anyway it's just rumour, but let me say it again, Manchester United should go and beg David Moyes for forgiveness, because it is becoming clear that the Club is under a strong Curse.
It is still a rumour so we have to wait and see.

I mentioned Ashworth because he worked with Southgate in the FA for 2 years, so there is no way Sir Jim is appointing Southgate without approval from the DoF who worked with him before.

Thank you very much. I really like the way he plays, and he seem to have a good eye for incisive pass for someone of his hieght. I want him to play here. He is clearly talented
He was the one who saved our play in the FA Youth Cup Final. The midfield was Mainoo, Gore, Hansen-Aaroen.When the opposition who were bigger turned it into a rugged match, the manager took out Hansen-Aaroen and McNeil and brought on Oyedele and Hugill who are bigger and stronger.

afrodoc2 please there is this boy called Maxi Oyedele , why is no one talking about him? He seems to be a very good player.
The midfield is loaded in the academy. Oyedele is strong, athletic and can strike the ball well, but he is not as technically sound as Mainoo and Gore who are in his set for instance.

Then you have a number of players just a couple of years below him who are more highly rated as well.

I think he is going to be squeezed out but because of his physical attributes he should have a decent career elsewhere. But sometimes the patient dog eats the fattest bone, so you never know for sure.

I don't even remember who it was that blamed ETH for letting Reguilon go, after our medical team had promised him that Malacia would be fit by the end of January.

That same medical team also mismanaged Lisandro's foot injury last year and they bottled the knee injury during the match too.

The open-heart surgery Rangnick talked about had better include that medical team.

Apart from ocassional emotional outbursts when we lose, no one on our thread is saying Poch has to go.

And let me rephrase. Depending on what side of the divide you are, there's an agreement that we either need to improve the attack, defence or both.

The general consensus on your thread is that you need a new manager. Ours is that we either need to improve the defence, attack or both.
Consensus ko, census ni.

Even Pochettino’s PA on your thread (Popi) has offered to send assassins after Poch if he is not sacked at the end of this season.

The consensus on your thread is that Poch has to go. The debate on that has ended long time ago.
That is why you guys need a good coach (in your opinion) like Southgate to steady the ship.

The defence vs attack issue is still being debated, that is why it is not a consensus. You know consensus means agreement , right? 😄
