What a moron
Just read that. What a terrible time he's had. Everyone who's given him stick the last couple of years owes him an apology. No feckin meniscus and he's still trying to give everything for the club.
I posted this in the other thread. Don't just read that tweet. This gives more context to that tweet.
He talked about not being able to walk for months at a time because of his injuries and how random people on the street used to scream abuse at him when he was out with his kids. Sounds like hell to me.Hell and back?

Yes, it really is hard to believe that Phil Jones possibly could have been injured. Also remarkably hard to belive he might have been abused despite being mocked routinely for more than 5 years now.Screams of footballer under fire exaggerating for sympathy vote to me
Grow up. He's hardly been to hell because he's been injured and someone gobbed off once.Yes, it really is hard to believe that Phil Jones possibly could have been injured. Also remarkably hard to belive he might have been abused despite being mocked routinely for more than 5 years now.
Your posts scream unempthathic cnut to me.
I won't call jones a moron but this part does sound a bit out of place and a bit stupid, the whole article until this part is jones trying to point out his hardships and trying to get anyone who reads it to empathize with his situation, he even pointed out just because he had money didn't mean he wasn't affected by criticism only to end the whole thing on i'll retire happy and rich but people criticizing me will always be poor losers is a bit of weird tone to take after trying to get readers to feel sad for him.Did he hit a nerve
It just showed the abuse really gets to him in my view. I think it was an over reaction for sure but to some real bad constant years long derision.I won't call jones a moron but this part does sound a bit out of place and a bit stupid, the whole article until this part is jones trying to point out his hardships and trying to get anyone who reads it to empathize with his situation, he even pointed out just because he had money didn't mean he wasn't affected by criticism only to end the whole thing on i'll retire happy and rich but people criticizing me will always be poor losers is a bit of weird tone to take after all that stuff.
I've seen enough players retire to believe that what Jones is saying is stupid. First of all sports is filled with retired stars who took a huge financial hit. These people tend to live a high standard of living and it only takes 2-3 bad investments for them to end up penniless. I can't see Jones being able to remain in football after his retirement (ex pundit or manager) especially considering that his reputation in the industry is mush. Even if he does manage to live a comfortable life, most former players long miss the love, fans use to show them when they used to play. I saw a recent interview from Baggio, whose probably the most introvert football player there is and yet he was quite fond of the fact that fans still send him piles of letters every week. That despite retiring in 2004. Jones is set to be remembered as the poster boy of failure and they will pass that experience to the younger generation. He himself knows that which is why he refused a testimonial match knowing very well that no one apart from friends and family would show up.Interesting that Rio still lives in his parents' basement.
I wish Phil all the best in the world butI hope he gets fit enough to play consistently. Still a better defender than Maguire
I‘m sure we’ll see him off the bench and then he’ll turn in his typical worldie performance against a big team, everyone’s like “we should buy him! He’s amazing!” and then he disappears back into obscurity for another 2-3 months and it starts all over again.Thank feck Traore's on the bench. Was a nightmare last time we faced them.
I was fishing tbhI wish Phil all the best in the world but
