It's all in the context of football and casual observations about his personality. It's like when someone was asking why van Persie was being called a cunt just for making a career move.
No one here is saying Lingard is going to go down as one histories greatest evils. Top twenty maybe, but that's it.
Pretty much. Diego Costa is making a lot of charitable donations and is probably not a violent maniac off the pitch, but I sure as hell am not going to call him things like "decent bloke".
Yeah, a fella who has been accused of making racist remarks, spitting on people, biting them and a whole other litany of psychopathic behaviour should fall in exactly the same bracket.
Look, I'm not being antagonistic, even though it's going that way. I read people having a problem with blokes like lingard all the time and I'm genuinely trying to understand why.
If it's just petty tribalism, fine.
All I can point to is his Instagram post last week captioned "Dancefloor".
The important thing is everyone agrees Dele Alli is a poisonous little snake.
Pool 1-0 up and with 2 other good chances against Leicester 6 minutes in.
Lovely.
Switched to Chelsea. They’ve got Bournemouth pinned back for now. Kante is still a marauding fellow. I love it when managers think outside the box

He's a dialled up version of the social media era footballer. Like half of what he says and does is meme-related. For me its that + tribalism + he usually plays well against arsenal + highly punchable face. I have seen how hes always visiting his old neighbourhood to inspire the youngsters so im sure hes a decent chap outside the football fishbowl
3 on 2 counter and bournemouth fluff it. I hate these adrenaline laden shots when he could've crossed it for a simple tap in.
And you just know that's going to be their best chance of the game and Chelsea will do them.
0-0 at the half for Bournemouth and Chelsea. Bournemouth grew into the game, and Chelsea might be vulnerable on the counter. Switching to spurs who just went down 1-0 to Watford. Can’t believe an exhausted Son is already back. Pity Dele McPunchface isn’t playing.
Watford take the lead!
I think what we’ve been predicting these last 18 months is going to finally happen to Spurs. With Kane and Alli out, I think Son will also expire. Could have a domino effect. Fyah bun dem.
Bou with the lead.
BOURNEMOUTH!!
Excellent pull back that was.
Someone call in a bomb threat and get all these games to finish now.
It’s hard to keep track with all these damn games. Come on!!!!
