Ben White returned home from England's World Cup camp following an alleged bust-up with assistant boss Steve Holland. The Arsenal defender also became unhappy in the England camp and struggled to mix with his fellow team-mates.

Serbian media is the same.They took this WC as an opportunity to start a rumour that a player in the Serbia camp was sleeping with another’s wife. And then it was another player and another’s wife, etc. There’s some shit in every tournament (if we even qualify lol)
Jack Grealish said on some content they’ve been doing that Ben White is his best mate on England duty. I’m surprised with this geezer as your buddy you’d struggle to get on with your team mates.
I will never understand why the fuck would the media want to slander their own national team? Like, the entire fucking country want them to success, why in God’s name can’t they give in some support, surely that would sell more? Disgraceful parasite cunt
Once you realise they actually don’t like or see themselves in half the players due to class reasons, easy to see they’re consistently plotting on them
The Ben white “story” came from the daily star…. Safe to say it can be ignored. Begs the question why the hell sky are even reposting that shitty tabloid
It's clickbait. They're reporting on the "rumours" from tabloids but they know exactly what they're doing and that it'll lead to the kind of headline we see in the OP being spread around.
Then why did Arsenal and Rob Holding put up a post on Instagram for him. The FA requested his privacy be respected and this journalist is acting the contrary.
My sources say Kalvin Phillips rejected White's romantic advances, causing Steve Holland to give White a hard time about not focusing on the matches and causing drama. Arsenal and Holding support White's bravery in coming out.
Our tabloid journalists and paparazzi stand outside people's houses daily and go through their bins to find anything incriminating or otherwise publishable. This is childs play in comparison
They are the same players as last year more or less. He has been picked by Southgate for a while. I find it hard to believe he has yet to mix. Heck he plays with Saka and Ramsdale at Arsenal. I find this hard to believe
Bad tabloid stuff. Arsenal would not have tweeted out that their thoughts are with him (paraphrasing), and also he would have rejoined the squad in Dubai if he wasn’t dealing with something back home
More than likely bollocks. Why on Earth wouldn’t he be at our Dubai camp if this was the case. Couple that with the “we’re all with you Ben” statements from BOTH Arsenal and the FA.
Because English media is completely infested with slimy tabloids that have no ethical standards. They'll write anything for the clicks and it tarnishes the journalism profession as a whole. Unfair on the quality outlets that get ignored in comparison because they don't lie for attention.
There’s literally Arsenal players in the squad. Idk how he’s not at least getting along with them. Typical media vs England team again, nothing ever changes
It would be very grim to make up a story like that given that everyone thinks something much more serious happened. If he is going through family trouble, for example, this would be an awful story to run.
Man. No one hates the England team than the English media. Writing these absolute shit stories. Why would the FA & Arsenal put up tweets with “we are with you” for something like this? Absolute trash and it comes out a day before their game against France.
This seems very plausible. And I would put the Daily Star several rungs BELOW The Sun and Mail in terms of journalistic integrity, and they are both pretty damn low on that ladder.
Calling bullshit on this, Saka said family reasons the FA posted how they’re all behind him. And if he did have a bust up, he’d have joined the arsenal team in Dubai by now. It’s clearly family related
Christ, some of the media in this country is straight up cancer. They will find any reason to devalue and discourage the England team just for a few more clicks.
So I guess the racism thing won't track for them anymore after the nonsense following the Euros, so now they're just back to good old fashioned making shit up?
This is total lies. Ben white is one of the best professionals in the Arsenal team and has been praised by multiple top level manager for his professionalism. Even if he did have a problem with anyone he would have kept to himself
Its literally why they put it in paper talk. Its stories that papers are reporting that Sky could not corroborate. If they could corroborate it, it would be in the news section.
Get the feeling their publishing this bullshit to try and bait Ben White or his team into revealing what’s actually happening. There may even be a kernel of truth in it (I.E. he had an argument with the assistant coach, possibly because he was stressed and distracted by whatever is going on in his personal life, but that’s not the reason why he left). Incredibly scummy behaviour if so.
This bit of brilliant investigative journalism from a no-mark journalist totally explains why White is not with his Arsenal team mates in Dubai. A league topping team that he has been an integral part of and played in pretty much every game for. I totally and wholly believe this story.
This is bullshit from the Daily Star originally. If this were true he'd have gone to Dubai to join the rest of the team, not publicly receive "we're with you <3" posts by the club.
chill as can be Benny Blanco who gets on with everyone?? nah if he’s gettin boisterous better believe it’s for a good reason. otherwise this is just more tabloid trash.
This is a very different tone of reasoning to last week. If true, this is quite a bad look for him, but I'm not going to jump to conclusions. I don't buy this reasoning.
I don't like how Sterling's issue was made public and he had to take the flack for going home for a genuine issue while Ben White was given 'privacy' for footballing reasons. But I'm not surprised
Anyone think he was upset about the handling of the love armband fiasco and he continued to share his frustrations? England management team asked him to stand down, he continued to protest, etc. and finally said he’s leaving.
‘Raheem Sterling returns home from England World Cup duties because allegedly, Gareth Southgate’s cat broke in to Sterling’s home in London and did the unspeakable onto his dog’
If this is bullshit, which it certainly sounds like, it's an incredibly disgusting narrative to create about someone who's having serious family issues.
Big if true, although its no secret benny doesn't like football much if at all, its firstly a job to him his dad was never a fan of a club and his mum wasn't into it either. i could imagine this might prevent him bonding with a few of the more football centric players in the camp.
I have a feeling if I just sit and wait and forget about this I will learn the truth eventually
Ancient aliens
Its the Daily Star. Of course its wrong. I dont know why mods even allow this crap
Yeah but while you’re waiting wouldn’t it be fun to make up what happened and use it to sell newspapers?
Nothing quite like the English media trying to fuck the England team during a major tournament
It's a proper tradition
Serbian media is the same.They took this WC as an opportunity to start a rumour that a player in the Serbia camp was sleeping with another’s wife. And then it was another player and another’s wife, etc. There’s some shit in every tournament (if we even qualify lol)
Jack Grealish said on some content they’ve been doing that Ben White is his best mate on England duty. I’m surprised with this geezer as your buddy you’d struggle to get on with your team mates.
Tomorrow's Sun exclusive: "WOKE Southgate ousts WHITE from squad"
This is football heritage.
I will never understand why the fuck would the media want to slander their own national team? Like, the entire fucking country want them to success, why in God’s name can’t they give in some support, surely that would sell more? Disgraceful parasite cunt
Every French on this sub: Good, good, let the hate flow through you
It's not a real world cup unless there's an effigy of one of the players by the end of it.
How is it the media’s fault if Ben White literally went home because of a bust up?
Once you realise they actually don’t like or see themselves in half the players due to class reasons, easy to see they’re consistently plotting on them
Blame whoever leaked it
Whats with the English media and making bullshit stories about their own team every major tournament
This is the way?
Every two years, bullshit is coming home.
What’s with us putting this on the front page?
How do you know it's bullshit?
Absolute mercenaries, and so short term - England win the World Cup they sell newspapers for months on end
Just wait until USA makes a quarter or semi lol
So he's still with the England squad? Because that's a ridiculous thing to lie about especially if he starts the next game.
English media isn’t English.. shock
🤑🤑🤑
The Ben white “story” came from the daily star…. Safe to say it can be ignored. Begs the question why the hell sky are even reposting that shitty tabloid
Because Sky are just as shitty
No questions here, they’re around the same standard.
It's the shitty tabloid section.
It's clickbait. They're reporting on the "rumours" from tabloids but they know exactly what they're doing and that it'll lead to the kind of headline we see in the OP being spread around.
Never believe a red top paper, they're all shite
You mean the Sky that’s owned by Rupert Murdoch is posting shit news from a shit tabloid? Well, colored me surprised!
And this is why English people think k the media are a bunch of dickheads
And it's not just that they're printing lies about someone or that they're going after a player in the middle of a tournament.
Judging the media based off tabloids is a bad way to go about it. Ignore that trash and make an effort to read the quality outlets.
Same English people that lap up the shit media prints? Brexit springs to mind
Then why did Arsenal and Rob Holding put up a post on Instagram for him. The FA requested his privacy be respected and this journalist is acting the contrary.
Yeah, this is a load of bullshit and FUCK the Daily Star if it was a serious incident surrounding close family or friends.
My sources say Kalvin Phillips rejected White's romantic advances, causing Steve Holland to give White a hard time about not focusing on the matches and causing drama. Arsenal and Holding support White's bravery in coming out.
Our tabloid journalists and paparazzi stand outside people's houses daily and go through their bins to find anything incriminating or otherwise publishable. This is childs play in comparison
if you work for the Daily Star you're not a journalist, you're a professional shit slinger.
They are the same players as last year more or less. He has been picked by Southgate for a while. I find it hard to believe he has yet to mix. Heck he plays with Saka and Ramsdale at Arsenal. I find this hard to believe
Mates with Phillips from Leeds too
Bad tabloid stuff. Arsenal would not have tweeted out that their thoughts are with him (paraphrasing), and also he would have rejoined the squad in Dubai if he wasn’t dealing with something back home
More than likely bollocks. Why on Earth wouldn’t he be at our Dubai camp if this was the case. Couple that with the “we’re all with you Ben” statements from BOTH Arsenal and the FA.
the source of this story is the Daily Star ffs, and the first newspaper to second it was the Daily Mail.
English press try not to interfere with your national team’s cup run challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
they're selling, but nobody's buying
Press X to doubt
definite bollocks imo. he'd have been joining back up with Arsenal for their friendlies if this was true
Idk why Arsenal would put out a we're with you statement if this article was true
The English media are running out of time to ruin our tournament so have gone into overdrive
Why is the English media England’s biggest obstacle in actually winning this thing?
I get what you're saying but I do think France will be a bigger obstacle for us winning the World Cup
Because English media is completely infested with slimy tabloids that have no ethical standards. They'll write anything for the clicks and it tarnishes the journalism profession as a whole. Unfair on the quality outlets that get ignored in comparison because they don't lie for attention.
Yes I'm sure printing a story about a player who was never going to play is really going to rock the squad.
Hard to fit in when you’re constantly in the shadow of a true chad like Harry Maguire
That slab does cast one hell of a large shadow to be fair
At this point I’m worried we’re going to jinx him
If this was the case,.he would going to Dubai with arsenal. I highly doubt this is true.
Bullshit, when has Ben White ever failed to get along with anyone, seems like the most down to earth player
There’s literally Arsenal players in the squad. Idk how he’s not at least getting along with them. Typical media vs England team again, nothing ever changes
God it's so weird when people assume they know players
Hard to believe but easy enough to rubbish. Weird tabloid story.
I reckon it's probably true and reputable journalists have been told to sit on the story until after the tournament.
Surely Daily Star wouldn't lie ONCE AGAIN? Surely...
What was their other lie?
Which this is bs. What a shit journalist
this "news" is from the daily star
It would be very grim to make up a story like that given that everyone thinks something much more serious happened. If he is going through family trouble, for example, this would be an awful story to run.
Man. No one hates the England team than the English media. Writing these absolute shit stories. Why would the FA & Arsenal put up tweets with “we are with you” for something like this? Absolute trash and it comes out a day before their game against France.
it's worth pointing out that it comes from the Daily Star.
This seems very plausible. And I would put the Daily Star several rungs BELOW The Sun and Mail in terms of journalistic integrity, and they are both pretty damn low on that ladder.
Smells like complete bullshit
Lol okay
This story is a bit of a smear on the player reputation, implying he cannot integrate with the squad or respect the coaching team.
Calling bullshit on this, Saka said family reasons the FA posted how they’re all behind him. And if he did have a bust up, he’d have joined the arsenal team in Dubai by now. It’s clearly family related
Christ, some of the media in this country is straight up cancer. They will find any reason to devalue and discourage the England team just for a few more clicks.
Source is the Daily Star. ‘Paper Talk’ is basically Sky’s gossip column, in other words: it’s most likely bollocks
Bullshiz
Keep in mind this is a Daily Star Article being regurgitated on to Sky Sports, take it with a pinch of salt.
Fake news
So I guess the racism thing won't track for them anymore after the nonsense following the Euros, so now they're just back to good old fashioned making shit up?
Clearly this is bullshit.
I have a feeling this is fake, there’s nothing in the article expanding on the headline, so for now at least, looks like crap
He's coming home
Sky is shit
This is total lies. Ben white is one of the best professionals in the Arsenal team and has been praised by multiple top level manager for his professionalism. Even if he did have a problem with anyone he would have kept to himself
Anyone who believes this need to have a moment of introspection, who would benefit from this type of coverage and disruption? Rhymes with arse.
Benny Blanco, the most chill man in the Arsenal side? Nah. The English camp seems like a pretty positive atmosphere, this story is trash.
Daily mail, so its fake news
Sky Paper Talk never get anything right, even the transfers last summer
Its literally why they put it in paper talk. Its stories that papers are reporting that Sky could not corroborate. If they could corroborate it, it would be in the news section.
Get the feeling their publishing this bullshit to try and bait Ben White or his team into revealing what’s actually happening. There may even be a kernel of truth in it (I.E. he had an argument with the assistant coach, possibly because he was stressed and distracted by whatever is going on in his personal life, but that’s not the reason why he left). Incredibly scummy behaviour if so.
No evidence of this, sky are just throwing shit because they need attention during a world cup in which they are not getting any.
No reference or source, or even name of author or persons compiling this? Absolute horseshite
This is just an obvious lie right? Why all the "we're with you, Ben" and asking to respect his privacy. I just don't believe this is the real reason.
This bit of brilliant investigative journalism from a no-mark journalist totally explains why White is not with his Arsenal team mates in Dubai. A league topping team that he has been an integral part of and played in pretty much every game for. I totally and wholly believe this story.
How can this shit be held accountable?
This is bullshit from the Daily Star originally. If this were true he'd have gone to Dubai to join the rest of the team, not publicly receive "we're with you <3" posts by the club.
chill as can be Benny Blanco who gets on with everyone?? nah if he’s gettin boisterous better believe it’s for a good reason. otherwise this is just more tabloid trash.
There is no way he doesn't mix with his teammates. He's friends with a bunch of them and also has 2 Arsenal teammates.
This is a very different tone of reasoning to last week. If true, this is quite a bad look for him, but I'm not going to jump to conclusions. I don't buy this reasoning.
I don't like how Sterling's issue was made public and he had to take the flack for going home for a genuine issue while Ben White was given 'privacy' for footballing reasons. But I'm not surprised
Sterling didnt get any flack, not that I saw on reddit at least
Sterling got zero flack
There wasn't much flack for Sterling going home and I believe the reports of why he went home initially came from his representative.
Likely because Sterling’s was crime related, which gets out, while Ben’s is a family member (maybe, we don’t know)
When the media is making up stuff like this I'd say it is worse than Sterling's situation for sure.
Ronaldo must be responsible for this
Who is gonna replace him
Ugh can we like stop tryna bring down the team with bullshit media claims?
What a bullshit story
“I dunno, he’s pretty trim mate.”
How do we believe this when they lied about Ronaldo getting angry in training
Anyone think he was upset about the handling of the love armband fiasco and he continued to share his frustrations? England management team asked him to stand down, he continued to protest, etc. and finally said he’s leaving.
No, nobody thinks that.
I hope this is true, but it almost def isnt (well, he may have had a bust-up but I doubt thats why he left)
Benny no mates
Marca go it right after all. Just the wrong team and player...
Sá Pinto wannabe. If you are a real man you punch the gaffer,not the underlings.
He has covid maybe
Why are there so many divas in football this year?
‘Raheem Sterling returns home from England World Cup duties because allegedly, Gareth Southgate’s cat broke in to Sterling’s home in London and did the unspeakable onto his dog’
I asked CleverBot and it said, of this report:
If this is bullshit, which it certainly sounds like, it's an incredibly disgusting narrative to create about someone who's having serious family issues.
Big if true, although its no secret benny doesn't like football much if at all, its firstly a job to him his dad was never a fan of a club and his mum wasn't into it either. i could imagine this might prevent him bonding with a few of the more football centric players in the camp.
