He's achieved no more than Wilson apart from hypeNice find! I for one am really proud for a Cov player who's grown up with our club to be doing so well. Always thought he'd go really far. Although he was still raw with us he still stood out by a mile for me especially for his age.

It must be pretty shit to make you England debut with no fans in the stadium!

Probably reminded him of his City debut TBF
The bitterness towards Maddison is just odd. Have a word with yourselves.
We should be proud of not only Maddison for getting into the England squad (he was at Cov from the age of 6) but even more so that our academy is producing these kind of players.
Who was comparing Maddison with Wilson?He's achieved no more than Wilson apart from hype
The anger that fans show towards a favourite player when they are sold is understandable, especially if they have forced the move (not saying that's the case with Maddison). People love these players - they pay hard earned money to see them, put their names on a shirt, sing their names and their actions on the pitch can define emotions for a whole week.The bitterness towards Maddison is just odd.

Deep!The anger that fans show towards a favourite player when they are sold is understandable, especially if they have forced the move (not saying that's the case with Maddison).

So when they leave it is akin to betrayal in a relationship, except that the relationship with fans and footballers is usually totally one sided. A transfer means no futher return on the emotional and financial investment made by the fan into that player while the player reaps greater individual reward somewhere else. The fan is powerless in the situation.
Staying angry/bitter, even years later, is a manifestation of the impossibility to reconcile those feelings of hurt at the transfer - the display of anger whenever that player is mentioned becomes a form of revenge in a situation that the fan had no influence over. A public display of hurt is as close to punishing that player as you can get under these unique circumstances. Letting the anger go equates to forgiving that player for leaving, which is hard to do in a one way relationship.
Imagine then that your friends are all congratulating your ex, in front of your face, on how well they've done for themselves since they left you. Salt in a wound.

It’s petty I know. But Wilson plays for Bournemouth and Maddison plays for Leicester.
I seem to warm to Wilson doing well and not Maddison for some reason.

Well it is incredulous. But it is also genuinely the psychology behind why some toothless idiot will be screaming obscenities at an ex-player at the nearest available opportunity. I understand it is an unwelcome explanation on a football message board but nonetheless it is an accurate unpeeling of the average football fan.Is this a piss-take?

Couldn’t we have done that with Kirkland? I guess it’s a lot better that everyone takes it in turns to hang out of the back of Maddison at every opportunity instead.:emoji_rolling_eyes:Exactly what I have been saying.
This is fantastic news for the academy and can only attract more young kids into wanting to come here.
It's a great sell being able to state a former academy graduate went on to play for England.
Eh?Couldn’t we have done that with Kirkland? I guess it’s a lot better that everyone takes it in turns to hang out of the back of Maddison at every opportunity instead.:emoji_rolling_eyes:
No , just doesn't play for the Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham, ect.Anyone else mystified by Wilson not getting an England call up? Far more natural finisher than Rashford,
No , just doesn't play for the Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham, ect.
