Unless my understanding of the meaning of the word 'chance' is distorted, the very first chance on the highlights reel was from a Lingard pass but Awoniyi hit the post with it. To be clear, I'm not defending the little @#%&!. |

“Episode two, meanwhile, is extraordinary. Bourgeois’s guest is the Nottingham Forest winger Jesse Lingard, and it is a masterstroke of casting. Professional footballers are not always the most eloquent people on camera, and so it proves. For the most part we just watch two sweet, awkward young men struggle to make small talk. It happens in the end, but only after something much more momentous than you would expect from an 11-minute YouTube video.
Halfway through the episode, Bourgeois takes Lingard to a diesel festival, where train enthusiasts pour on to diesel trains just for the thrill of the ride. As soon as they set foot onboard, there is palpable hostility from the other passengers. As he makes his way up a carriage looking for a seat, Bourgeois is peppered with dirty looks and muttered asides and, in one instance, a two-finger salute. In a footwell, he explains to Lingard that the trainspotting community has taken against him, because they – like many on the internet – doubt his authenticity. It makes his heart hurt, he says. Lingard then proceeds to give him a pep talk for the ages. I won’t reveal how the episode ends but, out of nowhere, it becomes absolutely heart-rending. If Trainspotting With Francis Bourgeois can do more of this, if it can tap into what makes Bourgeois tick rather than use him as an object of fun, it deserves to be on television proper very soon” A pep talk for the ages |
