Full respect to Ben white for avoiding that clown Southgate

Once Southgate has completely ballsed up the Euros, I'm sure White will be available for the next manager.

Southgate picks his favourite players anyway, doesn't matter about form. So why are we crying about white turning the call up down. How about we hold Southgate more accountable for not picking the players in the best form that are available

I think ben wants to play for England, he doesnt want to play for southgate. I dont blame him

People are talking like he’s committed treason. 😂

Ben is standing on business Southgate is running an absolute CLOWN show. Southgate is a coward for outing Ben white in this manner he tried to paint Ben as a villain to distract from the fact he can manage his coaches

John stones and Ben white would have been England's best CB pairing in my opinion.

I don't support Arsenal, never the less, White knew what happened to him last time out, and with him in good form for his club and enjoying his football under Arteta who manages well than Southgate does, it's plain and clear to see that he doesn't want to waste his time on the England bench. Southgate and his coaching team did not treat him with any respect that White would always give them. The blame deserves to be on Southgate because of his ego, picking underperforming favourites such as Maguire, Henderson, and Philips who do 0% for their clubs and shouldn't be playing for England.

Ben white owes the England fans no explanation. He has no obligation or responsibility to the England team. He’s extremely successful in his career at what he does. He doesn’t need advice from Materface or the chief sports reporter for talksport! 😂

Completely behind White and agree with his stance. Southgate picks his favourites not players on form/merit. White would be wasting his time, he wants to play for England not sit on the bench for Southgate whilst players like Maguire fumbles around making a mockery.

Benny Blanco is a big man, explain for what. Hes a grown ass man making his own decisions

Like the fact Southgate wouldn't say what happened at the World Cup maybe because Southgate/Holland were being d*ckheads to him telling him "your on the bench this game Harry Maguire is starting" and Ben White said "this is a joke he hasn't played for Utd for months" so they like "fine we send you home if you want to be like that" But when Ben White refuse to play for SOUTHGATE (Not the England badge) then Southgate comes out and tells the public.

Steve Holland! Ex spud coach! Makes perfect sense to me! 100% behind Benny Blanco.

Lads it’s not that deep. It’s a game of football. He doesn’t want to play for England. Story over. Move on. Well done Ben

Until we hear from him it’s unfair to comment, at least he is honest not to warm the bench

Does Harry Redknapp know why Ben White made that decision? I guess not, so he should just shut up. Speak to him first before exposing your ignorance. Of course, it's easier for Keown to respect Ben White's decision, Crooksie, just like it was easy for you to accept Rashford's fake toe injury excuse last season, but was then spotted strolling around, with ease, in New York. So Crooksie, get off his high horse...at least Ben White is honest.

The rival fans and Pundits would not even consider Ben White as 3rd choice but can't wait to pile on hate at the first opportunity. This is why England would never win a trophy coz the rest of the players would know exactly why he opted out and be more sympathetic of his situation.

Having friendlies at this point in the season is bananas. The crunch point in all leagues and cups to take everyones best players and play literally pointless games that have no tangible value to risk all the top players in the run in. This goes for all clubs. These pointless matches could literally change the course of the whole season. Its absolutely mental and i think Ben probably just agrees. How we all think this is normal is insane.

Ben doesn’t owe anyone anything.

Harry's a disgrace not paying his Taxes

it's not the military Ben White can do whatever he likes, i know playing for your country is honor but if he doesn't want to then it's up to him and plus England have players that can come and replace.. it's his decision and we need to respect that.. It's not THAT deep lool 😂😂🙄🤦🏾‍♂️

I fully support Ben White, its his decision and only his to make.

Who do the media think they are...they cannot and should not demand a statement...! And "arry"can do one .!

We seen what happened to Sancho when he spoke out! Let Benny Blanco live! We love him here at Arsenal ❤️👊🏾

When Paul Scholes retired earlier from England national team, i didn't hear Redknapp and all the Talktoomuch people.

He’s played for his country. Box ticked end of. We all know he views football as a job and likes time away from his job like we all do. Leave him alone

He’s already been called up by the sunbeds

Does Harry Redknapp know the reasons for White deciding not to play for England?

You would think that Harry Redknapp would have more empathy for Ben White given how many shafts he was given by the FA, just assuming that he doesn't want to play for his country, when he has in the past, without there being more to it is just naive.

Southgate isn’t going to start him or have him as second choice. These old heads fuming about a man’s personal decision is more disgraceful. He doesn’t want to be considered, move on.

People are allowed to say NO you know 😂

He knows he wont get playing time, Kyle Walker, Trippier and Trent is still ahead of him. Honestly why would he go?

As a Man Utd fan, Ben white has just become my fave England player hahahaha

He doesn't buy Southgate and what hes selling , its understandable

The Internet says Steve Holland screamed at Ben White in a team meeting and Ben White wasn't going to let anyone talk to him like that so he walked. In my experience the Internet always wins so i go with the Holland Theory...

All of yous saying it's disgusting are the same ppl complaining about the possibility of being enlisted for a war 😂😂😂

Unnecessary media pressure

We can only speculate as to what has happened without the full facts of what has gone on behind the scenes. White has shown in the past how happy he has been to get a call up and that he does want to represent his country. The trouble is Southgate. For anyone that is defending Southgate or having a go at White, just look at how Southgate has managed the team. There have been plenty of players that have not only deserved a call up but also to start. Last season, Ramsdale was really good for Arsenal. He didn't even get a sniff at starting a game apart from once, in a friendly, because Pickford is his favourite. Harry Maguire was still being chosen to not only be a part of the team but also start, even when he was playing really bad or not at all at club level. Tomori had won a Serie A around the time when Maguire wasn't doing good, and he didn't get a chance. Phillips and Henderson are both getting picked when they haven't played or haven't been playing particularly well, yet JWP gets overlooked. There are so many good players that haven't been given the chance to showcase what they can do, all because Southgate chooses his favourite players. Even when they are not playing for their club! Its a joke, and its not motivating for players, knowing full well that they won't even get a chance to play. Even if they have been playing well for a while and are in great form. They won't get picked on merit, only if Southgates favouite(s) get injured.

He's turning Southgate down not England. Don't blame him at all.

Firstly: Win a tournament with Southgate in charge?😂😂😂😂 Secondly: It doesn’t matter what Martin, Rooney or any other player did or would have done. It’s not about them. Lastly, Ben made his decision and doesn’t owe anyone any explanation. He didn’t do it when he came back from the World Cup he’s not doing it now. Clearly that’s just how he chooses to operate. Leave the man alone

6:24 you ain’t winning anything with Southgate. Leave Ben alone, he has had enough of their favoritism

It’s a game of football.it’s like he being called up to go to war.stop this Hate speech .The man has his reasons

It’s not compulsory to play for your country

Why does the player has to be the one to come out ssying it? Why hasnt the manager come out to say what the problem with? Pushing it on the player is bias as it gets. The manager has to take responsibilities

Talk about the players selected not those who are not for what ever reason 🎉

As a Utd fan i think Ben has done brilliantly this season and last but it must be frustrating to not get a look in because the Manager sticks with Maguire, Henderson and Philips you would be thinking whats the point

The fans and media are very critical at tournaments and then they wonder why players don’t want to go 😂😂😂

All these Muppets saying white should play for his country how many times has Southgate picked white and played in first 11

Ben White is well within his rights to reject a call up from Southgate whose done nothing but disrespect him. Its his decision to make and his choice. Respect the man

There aren’t many, if any arsenal fans that want him to play for England or Southgate. The media are making it a big deal. He doesn’t want to play, leave him be.

Where was Ben White during the qualifiers?

Why the outrage premier league fans having been telling us all season that hes only fourth choice right back why all the venom

jamie vardy did it years ago, when he was easily still england level, bet theres a reason

Are we talking about the same Southgate who plays Harry Maguire 😅 Talk sport should change their name to Talk Sh1te After being humiliated forced to leave are we now saying he should go back and be benched by lesser players as if he has a chance to play😂😂😂 It's not like HE IS refusing THE ARMY in WAR TIMES 😂😂😂 totally out of touch

Perhaps players busting their guts for their clubs yet still cannot get a look in because of favourable players……

Fans are free to think whatever they like, just like he’s free to refuse the call up

Let them shut the door on Ben White, carry on picking English managers to manage the three Lions and you will always talk about 66

Good for white. I have no issue at all for him deciding not play for England. Its his choice if he's want or not. Whatever the reason is, that's his business. Also hes been playing so well for the last 2 years but got over looked by James and chidwell so I don't blame him. Now all of sudden because of there injuries, he's gets looked at? If I were a player who performing well but never get picked then I would declined England. And southgate picks his favourite anyway, choosing players who out of form or not playing for there club's or playing in a bad league. Gomez should had also told southgate to feck off and if ward prouse ever gets a call up then he should do also. What message does that send to other players who plays all the time, performing consistently for there clubs and yet southgate overlooks them. Ben White, you have my blessing.

He's made 4 appearances in friendlies, 2 in 2021, 2 in 2022. Maybe BW doesn't want to be a non participating squad player

No one tell Benny Blanco what to do Southgate is watching paint dry football

Not sure how long England will continue with Southgate as the manager. The fact that he continues to stick with players like Harry Maguire, who are well past their expiry date, makes it seem like he should be gone sooner than later.

We're talking about friendlies people. Friendlies. If Southgate really rated him he would've been selected before. Ben White is too good to be on someone's bench. He already plays non stop football for Arsenal, he deserves a break.

Phillips finally dropped but why was ever picked in the first place,it’s clearly to do with Southgate & the back room staff

He is lending his skill set to a group of managers... who apparently thought they were entitled to scream and humiliate him in front of his peers. He's young but he is still a man and doesn't have to put up with coaches that don't work for his employer berating him.

i know people who go over seas have panic attacks that are terrible , maybe he has these problems markus trescothick cricket stopped for the same reasons , never mind what harry bleats about , its a personal problem

There’s always a reason why someone doesn’t want to play for England, remember Ben white left training camp over disagreement with the members of Southgates team, I think the situation is a bit more deeper than we think.

Paul scholes was allowed to refuse England but Ben White it’s an issue

I’m a united fan, I say fair play to him, he obviously doesn’t like playing for England or Southgate nor would I, he probably doesn’t wanna sit in the bench for maguire even though he should defo play centre back over him

Why is Scholes not in this convo?

Fully support him

He's not obliged to play, Southgate might not even play him and he probably doesn't want to be on the receiving end of all the fickle fans out there.

He was the primary choker for Arsenal last season and now has another great opportunity. I’m actually feeling really sorry for him.

The entitlement from these people is amazing…. Benny Blanco doesn’t owe anyone anything. His career, his choice

He is not enlisted in the army is he. He is his own man and will make his own decisions. All you straw graspers can yell whatever you want.

I have to respect ben white decision, As far his decision does not harm anyone. Whatever you say is your personal opinion. It is unfair condemning him or disrespecting is choice. His opinion count either you accept it or not.

unless Gareth takes a million rbs again he wouldnt of been picked for the final squad anyway. Gareth just found it easier to say he doesnt want to go instead of saying hewouldnt of picked him. Doesnt have enough brownie points like players like Henderson have

The speculation is astonishingly poor. Second guessing . Player does not have to answer to anyone but GS and he seems okay with it. Talk sport at it’s worst.

Mixed feelings about this one, I personally would want to have the chance to play for England no matter what. However, if this stems from frustration about not playing when he's clearly better than Maguire then kudos to him for showing up Southgate's loyalty policy

Would help if White came out and explained why because at the moment we only have one version from Southgate

So what about Carragher nothing was said about that from Wheeler Dealer Harry

The last English player who spoke out about his manager. Was SANCHO. Look what the media did to him. Ben White has kept it respectful, and you're slating him. It's his decision. Leave it at that

the man from umbongo he say no!

Ive seen all these comments on diffrent videos and everyone is oretty kuch saying they believe its Southgate the only ones sounding like it's a big deal is the pundits they are going alittle to hard on it i don't think its that serious specially when you don't know why

Ben White should not return until Southgate restores the meritocracy that characterised the team

Did the England Manager have to reveal why Ben White is not in his team! There is more that happens behind the scenes but a mature leadership will just not say...

He has a cheek, Keown snubbed his homeland of Ireland for England

Fully support Ben White, no matter what any other clown says

Sit on the bench for England or rest and recover while spending time with your family 🤔 I can't blame the lad

How many "Frank Warren" shoulder rolls did Harry do when he ranting 😂

Well said martin. Its bens decision and EVERYONES got to respect that

Why go away for 5 weeks to keep a bench warm, Southgate only plays his boys.

Why is everyone having a meltdown?

Ben White knows that Southgate doesn't like him and that he has no chance of going to the Euros, so why should he risk getting injured in a couple of meaningless friendlies when he is fighting for the title with Arsenal? I agree with him 100%

He has a reason. Lets respect his decision. COYG!

Damn. I wonder if Harry Redknapp has the same view of players like Grealish who represented a different country. should the door have been shut in his face as well as soon as he wore the Ireland strip

Southgate hung Ben White out to dry - the worst part of this, as evidenced by a lot of the comments is that everyone is simply taking Southgate at his word, listening to the one side and forgetting that White hasn't., and probably won't get to say what actually happened from his side. Critical thinking should have us ask if there couldn't be possibly more to it than the idea that Ben White, a man who has chosen to be a professional footballer, with all of the lifestyle choices it entails, simply doesn't care enough to play for his national team. Doesn't make sense to me to assume that he really just "can't be bothered", like a lot of people, even those who support him, seem to be accepting as true.

Great shame. In my opinion he would make a great centre back who could fill in at right back.

Martin Keown the Legend!!!!!! Proper Gunner

If he speaks up and it ruins the English dressing room, wont they blame him for speaking up? plus he aid he doesn't want to play at the time not like he retired from the team.

its bens life and what ever he chooses to do people just need to respect his choice
