Daily Star making up a load of *******s that he fell out with Steve Holland and the squad
Seems a strange lad, but a nice oneQuote:

Exactly. Thing is just as strange as some of those lads who play it for a living and then go home and play FIFA all eveningQuote:

Blimey AAR - quite extreme. Mind you I would watch pretty much anything but still kind of see your point. Watching Arsenal is different. stomach-churning, horribly but often brilliantly differentQuote:

Was watching that in a strange pub the day after my sister's wedding with my brother in law (not the one who got married, another sister's husband). He had never watched football with me before - he was a bit shocked by my reaction :)Quote:

Looks like one of those jockeys who retire then the next time you see them they’re walking around like the Michelin Man.

I also think we should go back to the kits of the '70s and never change them two. Even if it costs us millions in shirt sponsorship.
I also like our core of Brazzas. We had loads of Paddies back in the day then loads of Frogs under Wenger. We tried the Spaniards and it was great to watch, but these Brazza boys could really do it. That's why I want Danilo. Never watched him. Know nuffink about him but he's a 21 year old Brazza. Him, Marquinhos and Edu should also change their names to Gabby.
Archangels, mate. All God Is One so don't **** with Divinity. We've also got a Mohammed and Jesus - though he's currently waiting for the resurrection. You remember that Indian spinner, Shivaramakrishna? We should sign him just to have him on the bench.
Yes, I know it's 3am eternal and I might be slightly tipsy but I do believe all this when I'm sober as well.
Update…Ben is trans black and felt alienated by the other black players who thought he was taking the piss.
Only Saka stood by him but he didn’t want him to start getting hate from the group so left.
Unless I've missed it, I am very surprised that mental health hasn't been brought up as a potential explanation for it all.
No reason at all why White might not be suffering with some depression and then going off to Qatar for a month in that sort of pressure cooker isn't a bit too much for it so he is released to have some time back home and concentrating on himself.
Mental health is about as stigma'd as being gay in football so it makes sense they'd gloss over it with a "personal reasons" excuse and a potentially leaked nonsense story of a bust up with Stevie H.
Seen it hinted at but not outwardly mentioned. Think Southgate's dismissive reaction said a lot about the nonsenseQuote:
