Manchester United fans are looking stunned here in the Football Transfer Tavern as they hear the latest quotes coming from the Guardian.
The publication seem to think that Phil Jones has claimed both he and defensive partner Chris Smalling have proven all the critics wrong and shown that they are actually pretty good defenders – and as one of our punters notes, next we will be hearing about how Radamel Falcao thinks he is in line to top the goal scoring charts come the end of the season!
In a delusional rant worthy of Manchester City fans trying to claim they actually have enough fans to expand their stadium, Jones claimed: ‘We have proved people wrong,
‘People can assume and predict and it is up to us to prove them all wrong. People criticising does spur you on. You are always going to get critics.’
We would like to see examples of when this has happened and also send Jones for some tests in case he has banged his head recently…
