Happy for Rodri to go on strike this Sunday 😊

[MarkWestHam]

Tell Rodri to retire from international football then

[BoxingNBeards]

I love the banter between Simon and Martin Keown 😂

[paulturner]

They've all got a squad of 30 players and a youth team. If they are tired they have the luxury of resting. Simple.

[OfficerPolynice]

Pep has been low key encouraging the players to strike for years if you listen carefully to his press conferences.

Jim . "Martin Keown makes a very good point"
Simon . "That'll be a first"

🤣

Like Jordan said: if you only want to play a certain number of games, get it in writing in your contract. They shear arrogance to even suggest 'strike action' is off the scale.

As for Keown -- insufferable 🤡

Danny Murphy try not to suck up to Simon Jordan challenge: Impossible

[andrewwood]

Plenty of time for rodri to recuperate when he is 35 and a multi million

[itoroekpo]

Murphy tryna say he played near Rodri level 🤣🤣

[willbritannia]

Rodri doesn’t have to play every game, that’s why you have a squad. Use it.

[yawnthedinosaur]

Talking to Jim is literally like talking to your 4 year old child … they nod and say yes .. than they do whatever they want

[RonaldoCarbone]

I'm sure plenty of people out there wouldn't be bothered about running around twice a week. Footballers should get in the real world. It's not a real job.

[JimReid-cblx]

Players would play for a fraction of the pay rather than the alternatives.

[stephenmason]

The owners should issue a statement that says it "might come to" them not paying the players.

[thechef]

2 points to shut this down,
1. no player plays 70-80 games and if they do that Is down to bad management and squad depth no one else.
2. Rodri completed 40 games (90mins)
Argument ended

[christophercheetham]

"He can talk drivvle in several different languages "😂😂😂 God bless yah Simon.

[hellalive]

The expectation on the elite players is ridiculous. They are getting to the point where there are too many games and not enough rest for them. That being said a) their career is extremely short
b) one of the huge reasons the clubs are enticed into these money making extras is because the wages are way too high
c) if the players want to reduce the commitments they have to acknowledge that wages would have to match it

It's astonishing to me that footballers at the very top earning 50, 000 to 400, 000 a week complain about playing football twice a week. Try working in a heavy lifting factory warehouse job being paid £400 a week for years on end. Most of these footballers are retire aged 35-38 millionaires doing nothing but enjoying life. They don't live in the real world or worked a proper job in their lives.

Take a pay cut to play less games put that forward rodri
