Didnt he save the penalty after Hendo missed in WorldCup?
So in theory, stopped Hendo getting the blame for England being knocked out, deflecting any negative attention against him as he goes on to win number 19. So we should be thanking Pickford 😁😄

serious question..

is he really good at anything at all?

Impersonating a T rex wearing a goalie's outfit perhaps?

Punching the floor in frustration?

He's such an arrogant prick.

If I was in the same city as Big Ali, I'd ask for a transfer.

He can't even talk straight.

He says everyone hates you when you are an England player, then he goes on to say everyone raves about you when you are with England, but then slate you when you are back at your club.

Now which is it, Pickers?

Everyone "hates" him and slates him because he's wank and his attitude is horrendous and downright weird. Nick Pope doesn't get the criticism because he's neither wank nor weird. Likewise most other England players. Bringing up Joe Hart is irrelevant as his career has just proven critics to be right; he wasn't and isn't good enough.

The cruciate line sums him right up. A foot getting stuck in the ground might cause an issue if you're getting fouled at the same time, or trying to move direction quickly. Not if you're just trying to move.

Yep, that's the truth of it.

When you make as many mistakes as he does, you are too arrogant to learn from them, and you have a bizarre attitude, then you are going to attract criticism regardless of who you play for.

joe hart to be fair was much better than Pickford at his peak and was a top keeper, Pickford hasn’t nor ever will be a top keeper

He's a mad fella.His general point about England fans is probably true but not sure it relates to him as he's had 18+ months of really mediocre performances, go unnoticed. Interviews like this add to his unlikeable, arrogant personality.

Peabee · « **Reply #1270 on:** February 10, 2020, 12:58:01 am »

What he’s talking about is criticism, which he’s equating with “hate”. Being an international player does open you up to more criticism as people will undoubtedly question why other players aren’t being picked when you’re playing badly. Is he really that stupid that he thinks being criticised is being hated.

aussie_ox · « **Reply #1271 on:** February 10, 2020, 01:32:24 am »

How is this shower of shite still ahead of Henderson for England duty? It's night and day the difference. Long may he continue as a bitter for years to come. Does he have to order table service every time he visits the pub because he can't reach the bar?

Yeah.Sounds like an advert for one of those self confidence courses where if you just believe enough you're good at something,you as by magic,are.

Fact is he commits very unique looking blunders on a regular basis and his past and present comments in the press and antics on the pitch have made himself look thick as a brick,which he propably is.

On the other hand Pickford could write a book called 'how i made millions and became England's no. 1 with my short arms and very little ability' so what do i know.

Wow.

"I think the press and everybody, the punters - look at Gary Neville - they just want to come for England players."

Here was me wondering why everyone in the British media seemed to be completely in love with the guy. Even when he has copped some criticism recently it was all with the caveat that his distribution is "amazing" - which I still don't fucking understand. If you smash everything long then occasionally one will land right.

Are you implying that he generally cannot reach the Shift key?

His autobiography should be called 'Touching The Void'.

Old-time comics used to endlessly rehearse their routines.
Not Pickford, he constantly improvises something out of nothing.
He brings true joy to the game.
