Aaron Wan Bissaka really said “I don’t owe you anything but a safe transport back to London” and then dropped these two lifetime performances 😭😭😭

Southgate solved the key problem of England's mental block when it comes to penalties by simply picking players that don't have a mind. Cole Palmer doesn't know what Switzerland even is, or what day it is, he can't get nervous

[Mark Jackson @MarkDJacks1]

Gareth Southgate (appointed 2016) is the last remnant of Theresa May era of Britain; a quietly patriotic, basically decent person, but completely inadequate to the moment at hand and not up to the job, still backed only by the sort of people who listen to The Rest is Politics.

Bellingham’s been very quiet. Thing is, he’s so mature for his age, he’s probably thinking about whether the pension triple lock can realistically hold, given the public finances.

🧵 In celebration, time to bring back something I wrote in 2017.

Peptide "PED" Guardiola. A thread on Pep's historical habit of doping & performance enhancing drugs, his links to other cheats, suspicious doctors & ongoing rumours that surround him to this day.

💉💉💉

In 2001 playing for Brescia, Pep had tested positive twice against Piacenza & Lazio. Both samples showed levels of the anabolic steroid nandrolone. Nandrolone improves athletes ability to train harder, recovery faster & help the body build muscle by producing extra protein.

Guardiola tested six times the legal limit. In the corrupt world of Italian football (at the time), he was given a 4 month ban & €50,000 fine. Naturally Pep was insistent of his innocence. “A machine says I have taken nandrolone, but I know I didn’t,” he said.

“Before Piacenza I only took the multivitamins that Dr. Ramon Segura, my trusted physiologist, has prepared for me for six or seven years."

That brings us to Ramon Segura, who also represented Frank De Boer, who tested 5 times the limit to Nandrolone 7 months before Guardiola.

Segura claimed the supplements were contaminated & the cause of the positive test. Investigations found this wasn't possible. Segura joined Guardiola at Barcelona in 2009. In 2010 the club were fined €30,000 for failing to provide accurate details of their players’ whereabouts.

Unfortunately, in European Sports where doping is rife these things are largely ignored. But despite the coach's brilliant training methods which are undoubted, maybe here's a secret to how his plays get stronger, bigger, & running faster & further than ever before 💉

Oh I forgot to mention Luis Garcia del Moral - who was 1 of the 3 doctors banned for life following Lance Armstrong's life ban. He provided riders with EPO, blood transfusions & masking agents. Where was he also a medical advisor? FC Barcelona.

Cyclist Floyd Landis says he paid del Moral to work with him to execute successful blood tranfusions for the 2005 Tour de France. Del Moral is the third doctor (Segura & Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes are the others) with links to doping to be associated with FC Barcelona.

It doesn't appear coincidence that there were less links to doping during Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich stint - was it perhaps that Pep's Peptides & PED's weren't allowed in Bavaria? Let's not forget his feud with the medical staff & that four doctors walked out on him in 2015.

The close bond between Pep & Dr Ramon Cugat created huge friction at Bayern Munich. Guardiola told doctors at Bayern that “it cannot be that injuries here last six weeks but in Spain only a fortnight.”

Those same issues haven't happened at Manchester City.. well because go figure. Bit strange that players have to be sent for treatment in Barcelona when there is world class facilities in Manchester already.

Something I forgot to mention in the original thread: Manchester City were fined THREE TIMES within the first 6 months of Pep Guardiola's appointment for violations of anti-doping regulations.
