That's a fair point having watched it again, but to be fair lots of mistakes and comical goals occur in Europe too. But I know what you mean. I don't know of Roque much, never followed him, @Messi983 knows infinitely more about him than me. Just saying the video was nice.

Maybe. Though I heard they were involved with scalpers also. I didn't look too deeply into it, just heard it in passing.

I heard about that. I am sure they were revoked. I would say it's because that school is for well off families so they get perks and/or can pay more for tickets than your normal working-class fan.

You could be right. Honestly, I am not sure how this game will go or how Newcastle will approach it. I suspect they'll come flying out of the blocks and attack Barca. But yes, first goal is key. If they get it they will either try to compound Barca's problems by going for a quickfire second, or...

Just skimmed through this thread. It always amuses me when people act like a club has won the transfer window before the players have barely kicked a ball. United fans have been doing this for years and had so much egg on their face (though to be fair Liverpool have much more success than them...

You think? It might well be a game where Newcastle come out flying and throw everything at Barca. But as the game settles down (and especially if they take an early lead) Toon might settle into a low block shape to try to frustrate Barca. They're less likely to do that at St James' Park, but I...

Nice goals. Cool beard too.

Yeah that game should never have been played as it was just before lockdown here in the UK. Bad times. Van Dijk is so good that his detractors get excited on the rare time he gets dribbled past, lol.

I didn't see the goal but I do agree with your post (though I would say Kane has more scoring instinct than you say, but yeah, not as hungry as Robert).

Don't follow boxing but it is a shame, yes. I think they'd have won either way though. United are rubbish. Suicide is a horrible thing. Felt the need before myself, not much in recent years, but sometimes until I was 35. I wish he hadn't done it.

Blond Titanic hair looks insanely good on him.

Fucking hell, you know times are tough when Harvey Elliott is one of your star youth players (and you signed him when he was 16, by the way).

That's called good scouting as @Jair Ventura says. Identifying talented players who might have failed for different reasons than their ability - they talk about it in Soccernomics. A niche or glitch in the market. Then giving them the platform to fulfil their potential - potential not yet...

No, their main problem is they are trying to play 90s kick and rush football in 2025. They are fucking allergic to pass and move, press resistance, building from teh back, and patterns of play. Man City on the other hand followed the Barca blueprint to a tee, employed Pep, and reaped the...

Protected a rapist in Norway. And in general was a sycophantic wet lettuce.

Doesn't count towards their success if you pay for IPTV instead.

I've noticed you are obsessed with height, power and physicality in football. You mention it A LOT. Of course it is very important, but you obsess on it.

At my worst I go to bed at 8 am so still early for me Talk soon.

Yeah it's cool. I regret snapping at Gnidro again, but man the guy is fucking hard work. I am gonna go and watch Alien Earth anyway. It's getting very late and I wanna watch two episodes then get to bed at a half-decent time. Night.

True, Haaland game truly revolves around pace and athleticism, and he's a cheat code with them. I know he's only 25, but I just don't believe he has Kane's natural ability in link up and passing - he's much more cumbersome than Kane and normally by age 25 you are mostly developed technically...
