Gareth Southgate talks to Harry Maguire

Harry Maguire’s got a ‘brass neck’, Gareth Southgate’s ‘pathetic’ and Mikel Arteta should block his Arsenal players from going on international duty.

Brass neck Maguire
I see Harry Maguire has come out to say he has nothing to prove because he’s somehow convinced some halfwit to give him 50 caps and has scored a few goals.

It must be nice to be so convinced of your own importance or ability in spite of the copious evidence to the contrary.

If, in your 53rd cap, at age 30, you are still unable to make a pass quickly and still think it makes sense instead to:

1/ try to take the ball forwards into congestion

2/ make a terrible pass to the opponent

3/ fail to run back to atone for your mistake that leaves the guy you should be marking to score

you probably need to re-evaluate your sense of where you’re at. He’s like that guy at work who you carry on projects, who makes everyone perform worse but who somehow gets credit for them and gets promoted.

God damn I hate that guy. I can’t even bring myself to respect the sheer brass neck of it. The Peter principle needs renaming. Can’t wait for him to become England manager.

Coming back to Rashford, that dude delayed a surgery that went on to affect his next season just to go to the Euros. He was barely used and he was also one of the best in the World Cup but no Grealish of all people had to start ahead of him. I am happy he didn’t honour the call up. I hope he keeps avoiding it.

Look at him sticking to Maguire when there is a wonderful Tomori out there, Playing Bellingham out of position so that Philips who doesn’t seem to be able to ferret a single minute for himself at club level can play. Pathetic

Rodri on Odegaard
Rodri put in an absolutely filthy and very late tackle on Odegaard’s ankle last night in the Spain v Norway game. Astonishing that Odegaard didn’t win a penalty for it and equally astonishing that he wasn’t injured. A cynic wouldn’t be making a huge…
