Talk****e saying achilles injury, out for up to a year. WTF Chelsea.

isn't the final itself a charity game?

_____

To be honest, what do people think are the odds of contracting an achille injury in a charity game vs a regular training game?

Not that there are any excuses to be playing in charity game but it's also just a very unlucky injury that probably isn't more likely to happen in a charity game than in training. Has anybody a clip?

Meanwhile in the High Court, McCabe is employing the Richard Keys defense



Top bantz I'm sure we'd all agree

Pretty sure players take care of each other a bit more in a training game especially with a final coming up. Achilles injury sounds awful.

England squad for Nations League announced:

Goalkeepers: Jack Butland [Stoke], Tom Heaton [Burnley], Jordan Pickford [Everton]

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold [Liverpool], Ben Chilwell [Leicester], Joe Gomez [Liverpool], Michael Keane [Everton], Harry Maguire [Leicester], Danny Rose [Tottenham], John Stones [Manchester City], Kieran Trippier [Tottenham], Kyle Walker [Manchester City]

Midfielders: Dele Alli [Tottenham] Ross Barkley [Chelsea], Fabian Delph [Manchester City], Eric Dier [Tottenham], Jordan Henderson [Liverpool], Declan Rice [West Ham], James Ward-Prowse [Southampton], Harry Winks [Tottenham]

Forwards: Harry Kane [Tottenham], Jesse Lingard, [Manchester United], Marcus Rashford [Manchester Utd], Nathan Redmond [ Southampton], Jadon Sancho [Borussia Dortmund], Raheem Sterling [Manchester City], Callum Wilson [Bournemouth]

Some good luls in there!

By luls I presume you mean Trippier and Delph.
Other than that, it’s pretty much spot on.

Lingard? Dier?

Who are your alternatives?

Maddison, Wan Bissaka, Foden, Mount, Hughes, all good alternatives for the 4 mentioned above. He's going to have to cut 4 anyway so why not take a chance on some young emerging talent who have been playing frequently rather than sticking with players who are currently not performing anywhere near to the best of their abilities. This is assuming that he is using Delph as a midfielder rather than as LB as has taken Rose and Chilwell.

Maddison not being included is incredible. A total dearth of creativity in the squad and you leave that guy at home.

In before Maddison only plays as a 10 comments from Southgate.

Did Butland make the last squad too? Anyone know how he’s been doing down in the Championship?

Delph LOL. What a dolt

Alright, but worse than Hendo

Good game this so far, 10 mins in nearly 2 fights already

Where's Vardy in the English squad? Is he too old now?

Retired after the WC

Chelsea playing a friendly in the USA is just laughable.

Oh aye I forgot he retired

Did Sunderland's Max Power just punch a fan there? Looked like it

Slovenia made the Eurovision final. Greetings Bandz!

Boro sack let Pulis's contract expire

Show him the Levydollars.

Lol for some reason they edited his voice. It was a lot higher and as it should be very hoarse and cracked at times as they had obviously been celebrating the whole prior night.

Can't see that happening. Perhaps the less vaunted of the Ajax massive, Ziyech/Van Der Beek but even then.....
