[Archived] Phil Jones

[RibbleValleyRover]

There is no one so despised as a fallen hero and no one deserves it more than Phil Jones. Calls himself a Rovers supporter and defects to the devil itself. Not often I wish someone would break a leg but.............................

A bit OTT Al. There have been plenty of players I have hated over the years but I wouldn't want to see any of them suffer a broken leg.

[Al]

What a horrible, mierable man you are.

Tried Google but can't find mierable anywhere.

Anti-Dingle-Brigade is very charitable too isn't it?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Wishing a broken leg on anyone, never mind a teenager just starting out, is sickening.

He's the worst kind of ungrateful prat but maybe a broken leg is a bit OTT. How about a complete lack of form and relegation to the reserves?

EDIT. That would serve tapping up United right too.

[Billy Castell]

I'd wish him to become the new David May, but without the chance to somehow blag a winners medal.

Yet another youngster who seems to have become a billy big balls the moment he gets tapped up by a top club.

Exactly how I feel but you found the words better.

Now called up to England team. Didn't realise he'd improved so much during pre season......

Did you have a link to this?

I can't seem to find his name listed in any squad, e.g.:

Phil Jagielka, yes, Phil Jones, no. Much ado about nothing?

[Josh]

I think he was in the provisional 30 but didn't make the cut

[Torgeir]

Wouldn't mind seeing him falling through before returning ala Colin Hendry. I don't think I've wanted someone to get injured since Keane played, but that was in the heat of the moment kind of thoughts

I thought the provisional squad was announced weeks ago. Seems odd timing for a big deal to be made about his inclusion on the day he's dropped!

Maybe some people are runnung out of things to moan about........

[Stuart]

Doubtful!

[Tom]

Nice highlights Phil!

[Stuart]

Maybe he's been to the same Billy-Big-Time-Barber as Bentley?

I also wonder if PJ's highlights will turn out to be 9 months at Ewood.

No Judas collected his first piece of silver medal at Wembley this afternoon.

Judas? If he'd gone to Burnley, fair enough.

The scum is worse. The devil incarnate. Most hated team in England.

Pathetic attitude to have.

When the offer came in he didn't really have that much of a choice in it. The clause was met.

Indeed. Looks like he's going to be some player.

Just a shame that it's only now he's with Them that he'll get the recognition.

Fair do's PAFELL. Al has retracted his comments (sort of!)

[Parsonblue]

Good luck to the lad. Picked up the first of what I suspect will be a number of medals during his career. Football is his chosen profession and he was given the opportunity to play at the top at a very early age. You can't blame him for making the most of his chosen career. As I say, good luck to the lad.

If so that is fair enough. Hate to say it but man u looked good today.

[Mattyblue]

There's no point knocking the bloke, clubs like United are so enormous these days that the trophies are pretty much sewn up.

Hate the game, not the player.

[Amo]

Why? It only gave him permission to speak to United. The choice was up to him.

I still think he should have stayed at least a year before moving on, but whatever. That's the nature of the game these days.

######. Given his chance and coached for years by the team he purports to support and off to the devil incarnate against their expressed wishes at the first opportunity. Ungrateful sod. As someone else said I sincerely hope he becomes the next David May but without the undeserved medals. The least he could have done was to give Rovers a full season.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Good luck to him. Felt the same way about Duff. Hope he does well and gets some silverware. Dont know what the fuss is about United, find it far easier to hate Chelsea and City. Utd aren't our rivals, they're just a bigger club.

Wishing someone to break their leg because they play for a different football team is disgusting either way.

Devil Incarnate?? Its only a football team. Get over it.
