rodders0223 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Leicester fans were packing Chillwell's bags. He is basically Alonso. Looks the part. Can bang in a screamer once in a while but he whilst more athletic he has the similar weaknesses. He is weak as anything and he can't defend. At all.

He is a 33 year old senior, top professional who spent most of his career in France and Italy. It's highly unlikely anything of racist nature came up, so allegations like these do worry me, especially considering how his family has been affected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he played in France and Italy? The latter is a hotbed for similar racist abuse of players so I guess I'm not understanding something here.

Because over the last 15 years of his professional career where he played for top clubs like Monaco he has never showed similar behaviour and has always been a model pro. He is also a big family person and clearly a nice guy. Everyone in Poland seems shocked, and everyone is backing him. So it's unlikely he would have done anything like that in a game like this. Let's see what FIFA come up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 It looks like the above mentioned incident has been cleared and no sign of racism has been found. Glik showed his fingers in the gesture of "you talk a lot" and did not show any monkey gestures. I wonder, considering the damaging affect it has on Gliks family, the death threats etc should there be something done about accusing of racist behaviour with no foundation? It's a tricky one, but worth discussing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quite easy now to call somebody a racist rightly or wrongly which does damage to careers and reputations. If he is innocent the English staff that made the allegations should be sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono62 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 So Kane out of form, Mount not playing, Stones not playing, Grealish not at his best and Sterling not playing, yet I bet all of them will be in from the start next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Mount injured? I take your point, but perhaps controversially I don't think we should rip up half a winning international side just because they're not destroying the PL each week. They know how to play together, and that can be very very valuable in international football. Of course, if we're playing some duffers or other, or it's just a friendly, then sure let's get some new faces around the side as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2021 I wonder if Antonio regrets plumping for Jamaica. He would have been a shoe in wouldn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opportunity to play with the greatest left sided player in world football, doesn’t come around that often. I’m confident that Antonio is honoured to be playing with Leon Bailey There’ll be no regrets there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Kane and sterling are both in great England scoring form so they'll both be in and the next games will be a great stat padding opportunity The 2nd and 3rd choice striker is more interesting though, Ollie not fully fit seemingly, Bamford reverted back to his performances of years ago and DCL I think is injured Does he call up Gray? Or Ings? Or Abraham? Bigger problem is defence, stones yet to kick a ball, maguire, James and TAA all expected to have that magical injury where they miss England but not PL games Edited September 30, 2021 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another couple of games with Kane playing deep in midfield, Stirling running around like a headless chicken and falling over looking for a foul and Mount being utter crap in an England shirt.... Think I will pass. Just find watching England boring these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
