Distin absent from training.

Moyes would of handled it better

You mean the same superb way he handled Vidic, Rio and Giggs last year?

We don't know if this story is even true yet instantly you are using it as a stcik to beat Martinez with.

 

[Bungle]

Gonna be a lot of backtracking when this turns out to be bollocks and he comes back and destroys opposition attackers for the rest of the season.

 

[toffee matt]

They were drunken, drug-abusing morons! Distin is an ultra-professional. Martinez has handled this awfully like everything else this season

Pipe down Paul

 

[mglennon]

Distin started are bad defending v Leicester.

He's finished and at 48yrs old he's done well

 

[ToffeeDan]

Merci et au revoir mon ami. Fermez la porte svp.

 

[BluenosePaul]

Handled what 'awfully'?

freezing him from the squad after years of top service

 

[Del]

Should make him captain for the next game, That will teach him

 

[BluenosePaul]

You have heard about his "MILK MAN" antics haven't you?

Yes but on the pitch he's been as professional as they come. Drenthe refused to play for us in a cup semi remember

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Hmm...dunno if this has legs

Sylvain used to!

 

[Khalekan]

Never had any of this nonsense under Moyes

#TeamDistin

VDM, Royston Drenthe.....even The Yak went AWOL one time after international duty.

freezing him from the squad after years of top service

This story is absolute nads imo, and yet you claim that you know that Martinez handling of it is awful, how exactly?

 

[Del]

freezing him from the squad after years of top service

Do you know what's happened behind the scenes mate? How do you know he's been frozen out? What if Martinez had a word about his current form and Distin spat his dummy out and had murder with him? Would you think that good enough reason to keep him out of the first team?

 

[BluenosePaul]

Stones coming on leaps and bounds.
Browning getting a chance.
European games handled well.
Scoring lots of goals.

And yeah, he's got some things wrong too, but he's hasn't got 'everything else wrong this season'.

Distin is totally, utterly finished. Everyone can see that. If Distin has took umbrage at being told a few home truths and spat his dummy out, then that reflects badly on him and not the manager.

Stones was already leaps + bounds last season which Martinez deserves credit for?
Seen nothing of Browning to make any judgement.
Europes affected our league form which im more concerned about.
We also concede lots and are 17th. I'd take a scrappy 1-0 win thanks

 

[Zodiak2]

Hopefully Browning now gets a crack in his proper position instead of Alcaraz.

Distin has ALLEGEDLY refused to train.

i.e. not play.
