Spot on. Just to reiterate what I said a couple of days ago: next season is a huge one for Grealish. He needs to leave City to realistically break the cycle he's now in.

TBF, France's depth is kinda like England's in attacking positions.

 

Big question now is who do we think steps up and partners Stones? Dunk has had a good year but looked suspect in the last England camp and i’m not sure he has the best profile to partner Stones. My guess would be one of Konsa or Guehi, with Guehi nailing it down in the end.

 

As he pointed out, he’s scored more goals than Maddison and had less relegations.

 

He’s also the only one on Earth that actually thinks he’s better than Maddison

 

It’s not really about that. It’s about Maddison being a massive baby and starting a fight he couldn’t win over a little celebration.

And it’s more finding Maupay’s pettiness and shit housery funny than laughing at Maddison missing out.

 

I doubt even he thinks that tbf.

 

It’s just Maupay trying to stay relevant by being a prick.

Trolling with a celebration during a game is different than still talking shit months later when you’re clearly an inferior player.

 

There’s a detail regarding Euro that I read today that has me shaking in fear though lol



It’s the first time since like 1992 or something where there isn’t a Spurs player in the England squad for Euro. If they win the tournament….

 

Maddison is indeed a giant baby and diva who deserves to have the piss taken out of him a bit, Maupay definitely singled him out as an easy target to get a rise out of and it’s always funny to see someone a bit too self serious fall for obvious bait.

 

Genuinely, this gave me a little bit of hope lol

 

Agreed, but there’s still a difference between doing it during a game and posting shit on social media months after the game. It goes from “shit housery” to just being a petty asshole.

 

Sure, but who cares? It’s a bit of heel antics in a sport that’s more and more been sanitized by PR. We all get a laugh out of it and move on and forget about it a few days later. I’ll defend his right to be a bit of a dick head because it brings a bit of character to the game.

 

We all forget about it days later…..except for Maupay. Who will still be trying to get laughs and applause by being an ass.

I agree some of it is fun to see and all that. But it’s just a weird thing to want to be known for like he seems to want. I prefer trolling and shit talking to be more natural and authentic. Maupay is a try-hard behaving like the fans from social media we all hate.

 

i like antics whether it's emi martinez in goal or maupay on twitter

 

Ok fine. I’ll accept I’m the outlier here haha

 

I don’t think your points are unfairly made or anything, I just see all of this shit stirring/trolling stuff as professional wrestling levels of winding people up. I think he’s found his own lane of being a dick and so think there’s always room for different levels or approaches to this kind of stuff as long as you don’t cross any lines.

 

Is TAA a good play for fantasy? I have no clue what Southgate will do at RB / with him.

 

Walker will start. Trent will probably come on for games where we need a goal or to break a team down.

 

They won't win, they have Kane...

 

The squad announcement has TAA in the midfielders section for some bizarre reason

 

Thit shithead barely represents the teams who pay his salary.

 

Nah. I'm very much with you. Mocking a player out of the blue, for narrowly missing out on representing their country is just embarassing and distasteful. Particularly when Maupay himself is nowhere near playing for France.

 

I take it back. United and Spurs are our friends now.
