sheepyvillian Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Listened to his interview, was it really necessary for one of the female reporters to resort to that old stereotypical question of how difficult was it growing up in Newham and not getting into a life of crime. She may not have worded the question as such, but the inference was there. Plenty of black youngsters grow up in inner cities and go on to lead honest and responsible lives.l . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the way she worded the questions it did sound like it's something he's touched on before. But without any context, it did sound really weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought that was a little odd as well tbh. He answered everything excellently though, seems really level headed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Well within his rights to retire from international football when that donkey is making mistake after mistake At least he can come back and work with some real coaching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 He's behind maguire, guehi, tomori, stones, Colwill, probably switching to a 3 and playing walker, maybe dunk Embarrassing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted November 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2023 so considering he didn't actually win a cap, does this mean he's still eligible for portugal? genuine question...and probably one that he's also pondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was at a 'big six' club he'd have 20 caps by now, whether he'd come through the under 21s not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(instead of phillips) Mings was the same last season Yeah stones plays mostly deep midfield nowadays. He's good good feet so yep I'll take Stones. One though, you can argue there's one more English player who can play as well as Konsa does in his position at the moment. It's bonkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that's all he's considered at this time, of course he's going to say that in his England press conference though. If Southgate was in charge after the Euros, I'd back him to switch, but with him being gone after the Euros (please God) he can afford to be a bit more patient. That said if he decided to switch asap I wouldn't blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 He's not going to switch to Portugal Even if he did, he wouldn't just walk straight into the team. Dias and Inacio started the other night and then the very highly rated Antonio Silva on the bench. Probably won't ever play international football properly and that's fine.
