Fan trolls James Tarkowski after Everton star recorded flirting in TV program: “Deserve another 10 points deduction”

James Tarkowski is not a famous figure in the realm of soccer, but Premier League fans will recognize him. He is currently a defender for Everton, having previously played at Burnley and Brentford. He only joined the Toffees in 2022 and has been through a lot with them.

He had to be crucial at the back as the team fought a relegation battle and stayed above the last three spots. This season they are fighting another one, and have also been given a 10-points deduction for financial mismanagement. But the player is getting trolled for one of his actions off the pitch.

James Tarkowski’s Married to the Game video goes viral

James Tarkowski recently made headlines in the news, but not for Everton on the pitch. He and his wife Samantha have appeared in the trailer that has been released for the upcoming Amazon Prime TV show Married to the Game. The show will look into the lives of many Premier League stars’ wives and girlfriends, which is a topic largely unknown to the public.

They are only one of many couples to appear in the show. Ilkay Gundogan and Jorginho are confirmed to appear, while Riyad Mahrez and his wife have already created headlines as well. And now Tarkowski is also going viral on social media, due to a certain clip in the trailer.

The clip shows Tarkowski and his wife outdoors talking, and Samantha says to him, “Everyone looks so gorgeous”. He then shows his charismatic and flirty side by replying, “especially you”. This prompted a giggle from her, and she said, “Oh thank you, and you; I wasn’t expecting that” and Tarkowski said that he “planned that.”

The final part shows Samantha saying, “You know how to be a husband, don’t you”, and Tarkowski cheekily saying, “I do.” The short but viral clip was released on social media to promote the upcoming show.

Fans troll Everton ace James Tarkowski

And the trailer got just the reaction they probably expected, as James Tarkowski is going viral on social media. Many users have pointed out the hilarious side of the player flirting, and how his team is currently battling a relegation battle.

One user pointed out just that and the points deduction and wrote on X, “Everton deserve another 10 points deduction for that trailer alone.”

Another wrote, “When can we have just one normal day of supporting Everton?”, while many blasted the player for allegedly wasting time on shows instead of his team.

James Tarkowski may have gone viral for the clip, but he will now have to focus on his team with their next game against Brighton on Saturday.
