Couple of Arsenal fans down here reckon it's just really bad homesickness

Fuck off, England career over if true

 

[Honess10]

I guess it would be good if it was homesickness as 1. It’s nothing too sinister and given the statement opens all sorts of doomsday scenarios that’s a good thing. And 2. It would be f***ing hilarious and basically confirm him as a ridiculously massive wet fanny

Can you be home sick after less than 2 weeks?

Yes. Some people really struggle mentally being away from home for periods of time and therefore out of their normal ruitines

Hopefully he'll still get a medal in just under 3 weeks.

Do the winners actually get medals?

Was reading that Benzema would still get a medal if France win as he just went home and was never replaced.

Marcus Trescothick springs to mind. Steve Harmison also

Absolutely. Something the usual dumb arses on here don’t seem to understand.

[gipetto]

Everyone has their reasons, no one knows what's going on in the lad's life but him. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Do we have the opportunity to replace him?

 

[HABA87]

If he is homesick to the point where he's leaving the world cup then it's not really a laughing matter.

Also why is "bit sugar in the tank" considered amusing?

 

[PeteFTM]

If he is homesick to the point where he's leaving the world cup then it's not really a laughing matter.

Same people on here who are quick to take the moral high ground are now laughing at mental illness.

Minging.

 

[Whitburnmakem]

Maybe somethings about to come out

 

[TB22]

I think we all need to appreciate just how much massive pressure top level footballers are under during this World Cup . I know they are on really decent money . but.......... money isnt everything .

Mental healths more important i.m.o.

Same applies to any professional football too

 

[genewolf]

Hope the lad is alright and that people give him some space.

Same applies to lots of non footballers too.

Let’s hope he’s alright
