He can take pride in being an integral part of our transformation from Championship to this. His mate sat in a stupid armchair in a Man City kit, played a few matches and was a small cog in the soulless, cheating team he went to. There is more integrity in how he won this trophy than anything Jack did.

Spot on.

First Scotsman to captain a side to a UEFA trophy since Graeme Souness with Liverpool in 1984.

Grealish wasn't integral to bringing the club from midtable of the championship to midtable of the PL?

Love reports of Roy Keane taking down the other Sky pundits.
“ John Mcginn just doesn’t play football, he suffocates opposition midfields,what he’s done this season isn’t a hot streak-it’s a tactical masterclass in leadership, desire and pure quality, if he wore a different shirt, you all be calling him world class.
We sit here talking about flashes of brilliance from £100 million players and yet we ignore the guy who just dragged a club from the championship to continental silverware.
The most unappreciated midfielder in modern British football”

Wow, high praise indeed

Great praise if its true, however I suspect it isn't.

The new trend is making up quotes from footballers for retweets/likes.

Not saying CL has done that, just that these things gather speed and it's easy to fall for them.

I can't find evidence of it. Whoever typed that up is right, though.

Fantastic praise, and he's right.

There is no chance Roy Keane said that. Because Roy Keane often talks complete bollocks.

He's a pundit on Sky, that's his job.

Need to see the McGinn fist pumps at the end again and can’t find the footage.

On the subject of Jack he’s getting Pickford into bother now.  Both filmed coming out of a strip joint at 5am yesterday.  I mean I’m not bothered like but someone thought it would be interesting to film it and pass onto the S*n.

Fucks sake Joe, football needs Pickford in tip-top condition on Sunday.
