He’s always struck me as a verminous bloke. What a legend Bellers is class, works hard, does quite a bit for charity without shouting it from the roof tops, is honest to a fault, speaks his mind. I think putting him in charge of post-millennial teenage footballers was probably always a recipe for disaster, mind, he was always inevitably going to end up upsetting some delicate little flower or their mam. When I saw the headline break I assumed it was going to be he'd gone over board being ludicrously harsh with some kid and figured it wasn't surprising. Now I've seen Welsh / English rivalry described as "racism" though I'm just rolling my eyes. **** sakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 2 January 2019 Share Posted 2 January 2019 Chelsea may have overpaid for the footballer Pulisic is today. But he is still developing. And for a club with their resources, add in the exposure and fan base expansion they'll get in the US, they may have got a bargain. I can't wait to see how he does in this league, once healthy. Perhaps Abramovich has a deal in the making with a US buyer? If so, hopefully a Glazer type with a fistful of borrowed money and poor football sense.

I honestly think a lot of it with Bellers is he just can't really escape his reputation. When you take a golf club to a team mate you're going to find that hard to live down. He's also had alleged incidents in Cardiff as a young pro when he was mouthing off at people, threatening them with his "mate" Calzaghe. There's no doubting he used to have some serious emotional control issues as a younger guy. But he's big enough to admit that and work on it. You listen to him talk about football, there aren't many more passionate or insightful pundits of his generation coming through, I think he's class, personally, he's a lot brighter than your Owens or Maccas. Bit like Rio really, had this reputation as a joker and a clown, took a while to settle in to punditry and be taken seriously but I actually really like him now. Really smart analysis. As for the xenophobic / racist stuff with Bellers, **** that. I'm sorry, Wales / England football rivalry is not and never will be racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
