Young men enjoying themselves who would of though it.

This.

None story as it was the previous times. Happened to young lads a million times before in all jobs and will a million times again. Luckily for them even on a stinking hangover they’re still plenty more talented than 99.99% of the world’s footballers.

Personally I absolutely love watching both of these guys play and I’m glad not all footballers are robots.

If it was a non-story, Pep wouldn't have told the story to the press would he? There wasn't even any pictures, rumours or whatever. No-one knew about it until Pep said.

So that's solved the mystery of being whipped into shape by a real beauty queen of only 21 - in last Saturday's Sun.

And I know.......:needpics:

Many years ago a mate of mine went nightclubbing after the final match of one of the promotion seasons away at Shrewsbury. He was a Chelsea fan but a mate of Paul Rogers. He was most impressed by Bobby Zamora who was the only one of these sportsmen not drinking alcohol. Co-incidentally I’m sure this sportsman looking after his body was the only one who made something more of his career. I suppose you could argue though that Grealish and Foden already have ridiculous wealth and don’t need to do any more so sod it might as well get hammered.

Paul Rogers - good pro, nice bloke, intelligent and was doing a good job for the Albion in marketing but got dropped like a stone. One of Barber’s worst bits of business. Shame as he should be one of the club’s ambassadors.

Dropped as in ‘sacked for gross misconduct’ - and publicly announced too. His lad is the same age as junior and they played in the same team for a few seasons - results improved significantly when he started helping with the coaching. Agree - very nice bloke.

How many of the people (presumably middle aged men) making comments about how Foden and Grealish dress and style their hair indulged in fashion choices in their youth that the middle aged men of the time complained about?

How many, other than me, still have hair?

It should also be noted that the middle aged men of our youth dressed and styled their hair like middle aged men.

Whereas the middle aged men of today dress and style their hair (or what remains of it) in styles similar to today's youth (but with varying degrees of success).

It's now not uncommon to see a man who is clearly approaching his sixties sporting a pair of skinny jeans and we barely bat an eyelid (well actually I do). But if a man of more advanced years had tried to dress like a teenager in the 1970s he would have exposed himself to public ridicule.

I imagine they are under the best manager that they could be, so if they don't develop into real superstars (rather than promise) then they can't complain. Grealish still hasn't done much of real note for Villa, England or City yet. Yes some nice footwork and turns etc but no real influence on goals and games, flatters to deceive. A much over inflated fee. Foden has done much more and is younger but I wonder if they'll go down the kebab and Sun headlines route of a typical English wasted talent. They don't seem the type of dedicated sportsman that you might see abroad.
