His behaviour isn’t the problem it’s the timescales of getting a new manager Ancient history that if you're talking about elite level. In the past for sure there was a big drinking culture, had a couple of mate who played a decent level, but nowadays it's all changed. English Premiership players are a totally different level of athlete (I've met a few of the Exeter lads) and I'm pretty sure their lifestyle and discipline is at least on a par with PL footballers, probably a higher bar in fact. Local club rugby may still involve a lot of hedonism (I don't know) but Jordan's not a pub league player. I don't think he should be disciplined in any way but I'm with Haf (unusually) in that I really don't think it's a good position to put yourself in. Giving it the big "I am" (pissed or not) I just don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I’m aware there’s been no condemnation from the club his country or his managers, probably because there’s nothing to moan about, a young man having fun with a load of people also out to have some fun. How shocking I mustn’t forget to complain to the stop people enjoying themselves Police Exactly. It’s just some of us are man enough to admit we have acted like tits.... while some of us just don’t have the minerals. Myself, I have been a massive tit in the past at times.

I couldn't get over how precise everything was. Even the likes of Sheridan who is a monster had a specific serving of food, not a mass of it. Some look like they carry Body fat..... they don't. Lean as you like. 17st sub 8% BF. Discipline in sport is ridiculous now. Cipriani who was there got into trouble a couple of weeks later for a drink related incident ... not sure if it was drink driving. But I recall him getting suspended or sacked. As I say pickford just seems to love attention, couple that with his fondness for certain types of places on his nights out and it's a potential problem.

I think that chav is more down to appearance and dress, certainly poorer white kids are more likely to fit the label but it's not exclusive to them. Burberry (for example) is chav central but far from cheap and out of the reach of most on jobseekers/minimum wage. Plenty of rich (or at least not poor) chavs around I think.

Wiggytop Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Thought I’d try and get the goalkeeper discussion on here, not Richarlison page! Pickford is a good keeper with a few areas for improvement, no one is perfect of course, he’s a great shot and penalty stopper, needs to improve on command of area, kicking and controlling his head. For me he is a good as we could hope for at the moment, with room for improvement, if that doesn’t happen under Carlo in the next season or two then changes will be made, let’s see how Ryan, Dubravka, Guita and Schmichael do over the same period.

Matt Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I wouldn’t swap him for any one of the names mentioned. The only keeper that might realistically be in contention is the lad at Sheffield United but since he’s on loan from Man United (I think) any dealings would be expensive especially if De Gea finally moves on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Howard was no different and he got loads of flak on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
