Ben White Signing Confirmed

Burnwinter

QuincyAbeyie Holland sounds like he's got all the charisma of David Brent in the version above.

Burnwinter Southgate should be ashamed. Dragging a kid like that in public in this age of toxic social media. Just say I’ve picked the players I have available to me. Let’s go.

Fairer article on the situation from sky sports. Fuck Southgate for throwing him under the bus and fuck all the fake patriots jumping on the bandwagon.

I'm glad White told them to stick it where the sun don't shine.

It’s good arsenal are briefing the press with his side as well, Southgate’s comments were bang out of order.

Great to see Southgate being called on his bullshit, at least in some parts of the media.

This is a good article on the multifaceted Benny Blanco (not) from the Bronx from my old mate, Lewis Ambrose: https://arseblog.com/2024/03/tactics-column-swiss-army-white/

Claudius

I really don’t understand why people get so impassioned about someone saying they don’t watch the game. It’s not like all these fucking accountants, publicists and lawyers go home and spend the entire weekend reading and watching content about their professions. They do other shit. So why would we expect footballers to just do football all the time?

Clrnc

Claudius Raya also said specifically he watches no football and follow no social media in his free time. It's not uncommon for professionals to recover themselves and concentrate on their family than the game they play.

Hamilton stay away from everything racing in his free time, Verstappen goes home and race on simulators non stop. Different individuals have different approaches to sport. Doesn't make them any lesser

Burnwinter

Nobody thought it was anything more than another quirky bit of Ben White trivia reported well out of context—until it became the centrepiece of this England shambles.

Now it's news all the grifters have gone for engagement by turning their opinions up to eleven.

Claudius

Burnwinter it was mentioned sporadically in weird places jokingly - same way it was for the Tottenham chap over the years. That’s how it remains alive, so it can be weaponised when needed.

Mirth

This is why I fucking hate international football breaks.

Half the weeks news has been about Ben White not joining up. Completely manufactured outrage from the gutter trash sports journos.

The rest of the week is going to be all about the latest England kit. Completely manufactured outrage by the gutter trash politicians.

Claudius

Mirth well if Brazil slap England around tomorrow maybe the journos will have something else to talk about.

Burnwinter

Mirth I for one commend Nike for acknowledging England's diversity with their bisexual variant of St George's cross

Burnwinter

Mirth The rest of the week is going to be all about the latest England kit.

Good news, I'm hearing another royal's got cancer.

Qwiss

Claudius they won't though.

RocktheCasbah

I just find all of this a little silly. Nike haven't changed THE St George's cross, I can see one out my window, sitting on top of a church and it's fine, thank you very much. The cross they have ~~amended~~ ahem, updated is a tiny little design detail on the back of a collar on a £120 football shirt.

It's interesting nobody's talking about that cost as an issue in the middle of a cost of living catastrophe.

Qwiss

RocktheCasbah cos most people just buy knock offs now

RocktheCasbah

Qwiss do they? I don't really get the point of those either.

Qwiss

RocktheCasbah the point for me is they're about a quarter of the price so my kids have loads of jerseys without it bankrupting me. And after the Wrighty jersey sold out in my size I could still get it.

QuincyAbeyie

RocktheCasbah is there less point in buying a knock-off than the real thing? The only difference I can tell is that you don't get to support a multi billion corporation.

RocktheCasbah

Qwiss fair 'nuff. 👍
