Ben White rejecting England call up

What are your thoughts on his?.

As an Arsenal fan, I couldn’t be happier because it means he will be fresh and no chance of injury.

But can understand why people are unhappy with him. Playing for your country should be the top of your list. Doesn’t matter if you don’t get on with the coaching staff, you just turn up when called. His decision to leave the World Cup squad was disgusting and now this makes him appear more foolish.

He will probably regret this decision for the rest of his life.

If that's true then he definitely doesn't struggle for self-belief. In his position he's up against the ability of TAA, experience and reliability of Walker, experience and (until recently) form of Trippier and, when fit, the raw potential of James.


All of whom are better than him. The man paints himself with ronseal, no one who resembles a bit of treated wood lacks self belief

Maybe the ronseal is an attempt to look like Trump and start his own MAGA (Make Arsenal Great Again) campaign.

Could be. Saw a man with no talent paint himself orange and become president, and figured it would work for him in footy

This is probably worse than Declan rice turning traitor on Ireland. Would be interesting to hear Ben’s side of the story. Maybe Southgate wouldn’t let him take his tanning bed?

Apparently he got Edu to make the phone call. Does his mum ring Artete when Ben will be out sick?

He spoke to arteta but he just blew him off with ‘everything is awesome’ , so he had to talk to edu

International career over, might get a game for Soccer Aid in 7/8 years time.

Can't blame him when you having the manager picking a bang out of form Maguire and playing him ahead of a player who was playing well for a team top of the league in a title race. Don't blame him at all.

Tbf, Stones and Maguire together are England's best 2 CBs.

It doesn’t sound like he’s conducted himself very well over the whole thing. It makes him look like a bit of a coward for not even having the decency to tell Southgate himself. If he doesn’t want to play that’s up to him really. It’s not a huge loss, but would have been nice to have a player like him come into the squad.

Happy enough for him to not wanna go, he's been pretty crucial for us even playing through injury earlier in the season. If he got injured while away it'd suuuuuck

So your Spanish manager may have wrecked his international career

Comes across as a bit of a pillock, wanting to distance himself from his own colour as well as the England team.
