Faye Carruthers

Post by Xabbu »

Before you all castigate me and bombard me with the usual misogynistic rhetoric, I find Faye incredibly irritating. She never asks a remotely challenging or meaningful question and is ridiculously sycophantic with every player in our team. Now I get its her job to build bridges but come on we need far more intelligent push back on both players and the manager.

That's always been the brief for that role, hasn't it?

The most mind-numbing moments of every World Cup are always the half-time "And now for an update from the England camp..." nonsense.

I think she's the touchy one who got in a heated discussion about the merits of playing Foden with Andy Goldstein who argued Foden should be starting now and she got very defensive the other day as to why Southgate may well continue to overlook him. Then Foden goes on to prove his worth to the Team in the last match having started in it. I made Goldstein right on this occasion.

I think that's the role. She's kind of 'in the camp' with them isn't she. She's just there to offer an insight into the group and not be a journalist per se.

Didn't know who it was, so I googled her.

Still don't know who she is.

Thought it was James Blunt in a wig :chin:

There are two buttons directly above the text area when you post, one says "TextC", the other "TextR", I think you must have accidentally hit TextR Pete.

Either that or the Forum's automatic censorship module really did think your post was very right wing! :grin:

CnR I think that may have been the thing that pushed me off the edge

And as expected, Foden goes on to prove why he should be starting games.

Thought I recognised the name, she started out on the breakfast show with Christian O'connel on Absolute Radio,

Thought she disappeared after that.
