Jesus H, are you kidding? It's ****ing horrific. But he's 16 so I'll let him off, you've got no excuses.
A bit off topic but in their youth did anyone scour the phone book for people with ridiculous surnames then prank call them? I would imagine I've probably spoken to his parents once or twice.
Crazy to think Rooney (and others) made their debut at this age - this lot don't look like they'd last 2 minutes in a full professional game
Aye. They all look as though they need a few mash potato sandwiches down 'em. All dodgy barnets and legs like twiglets. Non of 'em will make it, they never do. Our youth development is shocking.
Good point is that, these all look about 6 stone wringing wet through. I saw Mario Balotelli's professional debut at 17 and he was already a ****ing beast. He played ****e though. At the risk of stating the bleedin' obvious, what the **** is a mash potato sandwich? I mean, I can take a wild guess from the name but who has ever eaten one of them? Ive never before heard of or contemplated such a thing.
If you took our lads here and lined them up with One Direction - or 1D for Lambo - I genuinley could not pick out who is who. I wouldnt know them fookers if they were serving chips in my local youth hostel. And I'm delighted about this.
You on a wind up? When you're an athlete and want to build muscle you need protein, surely you know that. Well a MPS is the carbohydrate version, it gives an easily converted form of energy which if not burned will turn into fat. Those boys could do to start on the MPS diet and stop trying to look like they're in 1D.
