An interesting article on Alli's rise, but what I found most interesting was this section about Jenas playing in the PL at a young age.

Like him, I had the option to go to other clubs but I was very confident as a young lad. I went to Newcastle to play Premier League football because I thought I was ready for it.When I look at our squad, the young players we've brought in with no Championship experience, and how so many of them have struggled, it shows the flaws in our transfer policy. The players themselves might be good players, but that doesn't mean that they are suited to this division...
It sounds like I am bragging but, even before I went to St James' Park, I felt like I belonged in the top flight - I did not think I would need time to adjust.
My game did not suit the hustle and bustle of chasing long balls, knock-ons and second balls in the Championship. I was not strong enough and it wore me down.
I was still developing physically but technically I had the elements I needed for the Premier League, where you actually get more time on the ball. I was very lightweight, but I was quick, fit and could get it down and play.

Fair comment. Reckon Jenas has made a good start as a pundit too.1

Tell that to Brentford. They passed around us like we were cones
The Championship is completely and utterly unrecognisable from Jenas' time0 -

Jermaine Jenas always reminds me of that brilliant gag on Twitter...

BBC sacks Jermaine Jenas after complaints
Jermaine Jenas, who presented The One Show and appeared on Match of the Day for the BBC, has been sacked by the corporation following complaints about workplace conduct.
The former footballer, 41, has been taken off air from both primetime shows.
BBC News understands his contract was terminated earlier this week, because of alleged issues relating to workplace behaviour.
It followed allegations involving digital communications such as texts, which were raised with the corporation a few weeks ago.

Some of these people must be as thick as shit. What a job to lose. Good money, fame, career opportunities and he wants to throw it all away acting like a pillock. Obviously don’t know details but I’m guessing inappropriate behaviour.6

I will never forget watching the footage of the brilliant Queen's jubilee, and the presenters in the studio saying: "Let's now go to live to the festivities where we join... Jermaine Jenas!"
Who on god's green earth thought Jermaine Jenas was a suitable presenter for that moment in British history?
What's next, Mr. Blobby presents the Nobel Prize ceremony?12 -

I've always found him rather arrogant.
I can't believe he would have tried it on with Alex Jones

There were stories that that the BBC had been considering him as the next Match of the Day presenter. Not now...0

This is post Hugh Edwards so if JJ sent a text to a colleague saying she's got lovely pins it probably a sacking offence in 2024.
Jenas was the Golden boy at the beeb and at 41 was in line for the big bucks taking over from Gary Lineker who is in extra time in his stellar BBC career as the highest earner.
A total plonker if this is a recent text which caused offence to a female college.
"Unsolicited email or text" always sounds like the emails we used to receive from that nice Nigerian chap who was having cash flow problems.
Interesting conversation between JJ and his wife, Ellie Penfold after his "Unsolicited Texts".

Is that confirmed that he sent a text to a female colleague? I thought “inappropriate behaviour” was all that was alleged.soapboxsam said:This is post Hugh Edwards so if JJ sent a text to a colleague saying she's got lovely pins it probably a sacking offence in 2024.

There once was a man called Jenas,
The Beeb sacked him for misdemeanors,
He asked for a pic of her crack,
But she didn't text back.
So he sent her a pic of his penis.

There was an ex player called Jenas,
Whose broadcasting skills were quite heinous,
He sent out a text,
And guess what happened next?,
He got sacked cos he JPEG’d his penis.20 -
Hopefully they find out Danny Murphy did the same thing.16
