"GROW UP!" Simon Jordan & Alex Crook HIT BACK At Jude Bellingham’s England 'SCAPEGOAT' Claims!

[@ste4392]

Talksport is one of the worst outlets for the kind of things he's talking about. Complete lack of self-awareness and completely entitled

[@andy68364]

[@KuluWarrior]

Oh, look, everyone crying about Jude like they are perfect, all of a sudden. At the age of 20, he is one of the world's best players, and will only improve. Give him a break!

[@okynthn870]

He also says later on , that he knows criticism comes with the game and he knows how to accept it but it felt personal to him given that reporters had went to visit his grandparents, so he decided to not talk to press and focus on the football instead. I don't see how he's entitled or needs to "grow up" for this

[@Cold_Logic]

God this channel's toxic. Zero self-awareness 😒

[@markneeley]

[@Ad-wu8te]

Anytime they talk about Bellingham, look at the way Crook talks about him. Very spiteful and bitter. When Sam says ‘I wish him the best’, Alex looks uncomfortable saying ‘me too.’ Looks like he needs to convince himself saying it. Needs to get rid of that contempt. If you can call it that.

[@shahbazk.a8745]

1000000% agree with this

[@dlamini77]

ALL these white people hate him.

[@adeamoo8174]

I noticed that long time ago he has also such resentment towards let’s say other players with aesthetic’s similar to Bellingham I do t throw the race card around at all or if so very rare but you can feel the bad energy from him, I listen talksport everyday at work and agree with most Simon says but cannot stand crooks now

[@screamingskull1860]

Sam Matterface says that he always had the impression and lists examples. He then goes on to say, "I thought he would feel." He ignores the fact that JB's close family members are being hounded. Alex Crooke then says he didn't think journalists knocking on JB's grandparents' door may be invasive but not as harmful as JB has made out. Typical. Journalists and commentators are looking at this from their perspective. Stating that JB should be doing the mandatory media duties. The media should probably stop invading JB's grandparents' privacy before lecturing on JB's media duties.

[@llfsmith1]

[@cwotuget]

Not one of them has EVER had to deal with Bellingham level attention. Not one. Can you imagine the numbers trying to intrude? The haters spouting nonsense, as well as the love. Everything is magnified beyond most other footballers.comprehension. You have no idea what his world looks like or, the relevant details of experiences that has made him see situations in certain lights, so to pass judgement is childish. They need to GROW up.

[@mar76k]

Jude was made a scapegoat, the headlines about how players didn't like how he was perceived in the ad. How he look arrogant when trying to console other players.

[@Ad-wu8te]

Nothing against Foden as he’s a good player but he’s getting next to no criticism for his performances this season and didn’t for being rubbish the whole of the last Euros. Other players on other hand. Bellingham is right. There’s a part of the English media that just dislikes him cause he didn’t stay in England and went to Madrid. The English media is useless at best sometimes. Don’t want Ben White to get called up for some stupid bias then when England fail to win the tournament they’ll begin crying. Do better.

[@devannaicker9537]

Jude's feelings are his to bear, and therfore should not be judged by anybody. How he deals with them is, his right. However, in saying that, it might be in his benefit to toughen up emotionally, seeing that he plies his trade at Real Madrid. These fans are the worst, when they turn on you. They would be worse than anything negative he has experienced, thusfar. Let's hope, for his sake, he never gets a chance to see the face of that monster.

[@cdeford2]

If he doesn't want to talk to the press (and he's not contractually obliged to) he doesn't have to. But then he shouldn't come on tv moaning about it. That just means he wants to talk when it benefits him.

[@liamc1200]

@cdeford2 he never cared when they were giving him praise for years though. You don't just get to pick and choose when you do media. Also saying it all got put on him, when I seen Foden get way more abuse from the media.

[@QueenieCalling]

@@liamc1200 whoever wins the MOTM HAS to do the post game interview. He said himself he had to do the presser after the euro game because he won MOTM. Jude was the ONLY ONE from the losing England team that stopped in the mix zone & spoke to numerous outlets when they lost the final.

[@simeonlindsay5166]

[@FurioussBear]

Talking about a 21 year old as a kid is one of the most pathetic things I've ever girl. What a melt 😂

[@Letshaveafewbeers]

What I am getting at is the media view him as articulate and speaks well but tbf he's just like any other 20 year old that is yet to round off the edges and mature into a nice fine wine hence why I called him a kid.

[@djmattblack]

I seem to remember Jude Bellingham was carrying a shoulder injury and wanted to wait till after the Euros before having surgery, that might be why his performances were a bit underwhelming

[@Kingsta2000]

Yet this biased panel have nothing to say about how bad Phil Foden and especially Harry Kane played for England🤔

[@ronnyron4681]

They will never do that because Foden has pale skin while unfortunately Jude although has pale skin dad but been born with a darker skin

[@chrismcmurtry935]

​@@ronnyron4681I disagree. It has nothing to do with race, don't know why you make that leap. Jude is not afraid to say what he feels, and big respect to him for that, but that also gives the journalists something to talk about. Jude is one of the most hyped up players for England, so you playing the race card is crazy

We all know Southgate had no right to be managing anything above preschoolers. But Jude was THE worst player not only for England but the entire tournament. Scoring random goals will not change the 90 minutes before and after those goals.
