Great break for United this.

I reckon Bruno will be involved in a drive-by shooting next.
Phil Jones will be involved in a claim against the council for twisting his ankle in a pothole.

Matic will get charged by the police for driving too slow in the fast lane of the motorway.

Fred will be arrested for sexual assault for misdirecting a kiss blown in the direction of someone else’s wife.

Young footballers and their need to have another penis in the room when they're having sex. Strange bunch of lads.
Yes but at a period where there's a virus. One of the girls has Covid passes it onto the players, the players mix with other seniors / squad members. Multiple individuals in the team than have the virus. All originated from lustful desires. It's a risk to them and teammates they deserve a fine.

Could do with going out on loan next season to West Ham or somewhere in the Championship.

Hard to control lustful desires as a teenager :lol:

So Southgate says they didn't bring anybody to the hotel, not sure then what the video is about on the first page.

Bit confusing but at least he will be back at United where he will have Ole and more importantly his parents to keep an eye on him.

Bet his dad will not be a happy man!

Not surprising, if a little disappointing. Let's be honest, whether young or old, immature or otherwise, strength of character and personality is important. Teenagers being thrown into a world surrounded with the trappings of money, fame and excess is a very difficult thing to navigate. All of a sudden they've got girls throwing themselves at them. Mind-blowingly hot girls at that. They should be professional and faithful, but, some of those girls will be straight 9 or 10's. :lol:

Interesting that Southgate is very much distancing himself from them, compared to how he tried to defend Maguire's character.

We have to treat every incident repeatedly. These are two boys I don't know particularly well at the moment so I cannot speak in great depth. I've got to try to speak with them later in the appropriate way. They have apologised but everything has happened so quickly and we have to get to the facts.

This is the job [England manager] like no other. All management roles are difficult and this is another level, in terms of what you have to deal and what is expected. The players who have been with us for a long time know exactly what is expected. Whenever people have stepped across that line when they have been with us we have dealt with it appropriately, but we cannot act on things that happen when they are not with us.

Is it even possible to catch Covid in the evening and then give it to someone else the following day?

It's not the England squad they would be passing anything onto, it's the Man United and Man City squad.

Would be absurd if it did tbf

3 Lions legends and current stars have done worse so it really shouldn't change anything in terms of their NT standing when they're 2 of the brightest English talents to boot

Couple of idiots, also wondering if they were copying some older squad members. I am wondering if Mason would have went through with it if Rashford was around to guide him as I noticed he is the only United player in the England squad.
Bet they took advice from Kyle Walker.

Pair of idiots. They get a golden chance with England, wax lyrical about what an honor it is to represent their countries then throw it away in a pointless yet ridiculous fashion.

I do not think this is massive issue(morally wrong of course) but it was silly and Mason should have at least waited until his second or third cap to do this sort of thing.

Are you the ref?
I don't think people really understand how stupid this is and why age isn't an excuse. He has broken quarantine rules and risked spreading the virus to other teammates. So many of you are treating this as a joke and ignoring the reality that case numbers are rising again and a second peak might be on the horizon.
I agree.

In his press conference, Southgate repeatedly referred to them as "boys". He said it is too early to make decisions on their future international careers but I reckon he might drop them back to the U-21's for a game or 2.

If you're thinking about fringe members of the squad, and two players are pretty close in terms of selectability, do you pick the one that has already let you down?

Best thing for United would be for Greenwood to never have to go away with England again. It’s a daft thing to do but they’re kids aren’t they, I can’t imagine getting worked up over it like some in here. :lol:

That's what happens when you have a shitty friend.

Jokes aside, Ole needs to come down hard on him, just like Sir Alex did to Giggs and Sharpe. He broke protocol and puts himself, his family and his team (country and club) at risk, discipline him so that such idiotic acts are not repeated again.
Does he heck!! It's 2020 a nice word about professionalism will do. We've worked hard behind the scenes to keep him out the limelight. No shock England F it up.

I don't know what the problem is. They put an entire bottle of hand sanitiser on each of their cocks and power hosed the women down before allowing them into the room.

As ill advised as it was, it quite clearly reflects their age and wasn't exactly harming anyone.

Outside of whatever headaches it'll cause in the Foden household,I highly doubt this will affect anything in regards to their developements as players. Again, we've had all time 3 Lions legends known for a lot more off the pitch than attempting to sneak in some girls :lol:

There is a reason Pep hasn’t been playing Foden as much as the English press want. Maybe because he’s a ball bag.

They're people. They'll do crazy shit. And anyone saying that its worrying that greenwood is cheating and doing things like this, and that it may impact his career, then that makes no sense. Our boy giggs had been boning his sister in law for many moons and still was good.
I think the main problem is they are not social distancing and hanging out with literal random hoes who also don't social distance.

they can get sick, and Then get their whole team(s) sick.

coronavirus is still a thing.

Wait, they got rid of the guillotine? No wonder all these teenagers are running around spreading Covid.

Damn, everything is so PC these days. What next, same sex marriage is legal?

Said it before but I only like footballers when they play football. Most are IQ 70 idiots with maturity of 14 years olds and it doesn't matter whether they're actually 20 or 30, they just never grow up, basically big kids in their bubbles.
This is actually such an idiotic misconception. Top level footballers are generally higher than average IQ as it helps separate them from lower tier players, giving them greater ability to read the game & think several steps in advance so that they can act quickly. Sick of this "lol footballers dumb" narrative. Having a high IQ doesn't make you immune from poor choices.

Would be. But wouldn't be surprised if they are excluded from the next couple of squads.
Yea that's as far as I suspect it will go, missing selection during the next round of friendlies/nation league which is in a month about. Same with Maguire.

It would benefit the club as well having them able to rest during the international break. They'll all be back in the NT picture in the following break after that I'm 99% certain
