He’s been a mess in his personal life for ages, well over a year.

 

He tried to force his own move away in the summer by going to Dubai off his own back.

 

We should have sold him last Jan, we need to be far more ruthless with sales imo.

 

As I say, there was an internal fall out yesterday. I have no idea how big it was and I have no idea if they’ll resolve it.

 

But he definitely wasn’t ill tonight.

 

Man, this is pretty disgraceful from such an experienced player and previous captain. Must be absolutely killing the vibe around the place.

 

As one of the people that thought we should have accepted the Bayern January bid as both Tino and Krafth were fit and available at the time, this is extremely annoying. 

 

It would have been good for him to get away too and link up with Kane who he's apparently close to, and who is a very stable guy.

 

We have mismanaged his situation pretty badly.

[The College Dropout]

Thought he was pretty poor through the December to the end of the season. 
 

When was it that Spurs cooked us? He was awful against Son.  
 

[Erikse]

He was still making defensive errors while not contributing much offensively in the second half of last season.. Also, his assists had dried up already from October. In mid january he had 1 assist in 17 games.

Regardless of pure numbers in terms of when assists were and weren't coming, our attacking play from front to back has ran largely through Trippier since the day he walked in the door until this summer, the combinations down the right hand side with Bruno and the right sided forward were Plan A for how we got the ball up the field. His absence is the primary reason we're now struggling to score goals imo (not that I'm advocating for him back in the team, it seems he has made his bed and we have to deal with it).

I agree, I made the comment since some are using the "10 assists" argument like they were back in jan. So in a world where it's all about the assists, he also dried up on those months before january.

I remember thinking what a professional he was, and that he was bound to retire here and join the coaching team 

[Dr Jinx]

He'll end up in media one way or another, possibly as a pundit but more likely a podcast.

His Undr the Cosh episode was chronic mind

He does come across quite serious, the ones with a good sense of humour, or at least be able to tell stories seem to get on the best.

 

Could listen to Ally McCoist talk about Gazza all day long.

He was at a kids footy game last weekend as my mate had his son there. Big Joe was there too. Apparently he was being arsey and didn’t want his picture taken, which is fine I suppose, but when big Joe happily obliged my mate said to Trippier ‘if he is, you have to do it too!’ 😂

 

Definitely something off with him anyway. 

[OverThere]

So his family has fallen apart....so his answer is to move abroad? Isn't that the worst thing he could do since visiting kids from say Saudi would be much more difficult.

 

 

[bobbydazzla]

His mindset might be:

 

I’ve been caught bringing a lass back to the family home for a scuttle (highly likely)

My missus is going to rinse me financially in a divorce (possibility)

My kids have moved away from the North East (fact)

I’m on the peeve too much (allegedly)

I’m in the twilight of my career (fact)

I’m unlikely to get a starting spot at NUFC (fact)

 

A stint in Saudi in a less demanding league, earning megabucks and no access to peeve (unless he lives outside of Saudi) might feel like the solution to his various problems

 

Real shame how it’s playing out, he’s arguably one of the most influential signings we’ve ever made and probably the best defender I’ve seen play for us in my 30ish years of support

Apologies if I've missed anything but was it proven he's been messing about with other women? I thought his marriage breakdown was just run of the mill stuff.

 

I remember there was all that BS with the Vermont Hotel and other players, but I wasn't aware there was other goings on with Trippier specifically?

[Kanj]

Internal fall out = presumably with club? 
 

aye, come on trips. Fuck outta here with that.

There were pics of him in the marital bed taken by a lass he'd had a sleepover with

 

There were newspaper stories about a married England international who'd been caught on the home CCTV bringing a lass back for a sleepover

 

Whilst this was being reported, Trippier's wife was publicly cutting ties with him and moving herself and the kids to the North West. The family home was also put up for sale.

 

It all coincided with Trippier's form plummeting and it was also noticeable he had the facial appearance of a knackered broken man going through turmoil

 

If Vera was on the case she would look at the evidence and conclude he'd been caught with his pants down

The week or two after that picture leaked he had the spat at Bournemouth.

Tripper’s nickname with England was Ringo after he got caught by the doorbell camera bringing that lass in, the stupid bastard.

[Geogaddi]

No matter how pissed you are, how stupid do you have to be to bring a lass back to your gaff when you have a ring camera that the Mrs can access

How can I check whether a wife has access to a ring camera on a front door ?

Get your ‘friend’ to bring another lass home and then check the state of his messages the next morning.

Very much agree, his importance to the teams general play has been understated. Even his ability to cross from open play is a huge asset. The issue is even if he gets his head straight, he’s 34 and in the premier league, he isn’t going to be able to cover the same ground, it will lead to gaps and mistakes, I think we’ve started to see that.

 

For me, he’s still the best RB at the club on his day, but you’re not going to get 2 games a week out of him at his 2022 form, that’s gone now.  Whatever happens transfer wise in January, Howe needs to figure out how the team can better function without him.

If you have a ring camera on your front door then your wife has access to it .

Shocking really to think a young lad basically and only 34 may not be able to hack it much longer in the premier .

I used assists, an isolated stat, as a loose counter to the suggestion that he, our most productive creator for the last couple of years, cost us Europe with a number of errors that will have been dwarfed by the positives he brought during the season.
