What's this Mailand talk? is that the German word for Milan?

I knew you were gonna mention him. You are getting predictable in your old age :lol::lol:

I'm from Scotland, but don't worry I won't take offence :lol: But yeah, that's likely it. And as Porque says, UK night games generally kick off at 8, and European at 9, so we are used to it anyway. Correct on reasons for early KOs too. I don't know where you are, but next summer is gonna be...

They need Kroos to come out of retirement and HG Wells' time machine for Modric.

I guess they're thinking about the fans going to the stadiums and coming from work etc. Much easier to get there for later than earlier. I know some games are on earlier but they wanna minimise that later in the competition - there's no 5.45 pm (UK time) for the EL second legs next week either...

Fair point - it's similar to what they did to Dortmund. I retract my point as yours makes more sense - like you say they can squeeze for 20 minutes and score in quick succession, but if they score early then it's more likely Arsenal will find a period of control themselves and hit back. With a...

Agree, both on Arsenal having a propensity to let it slip, and that playing the name and the history and not the team on the park like Arsenal didn't do last night is what too many teams do against the cunts. I said so earlier in the thread too. Lol yeah I said earlier that 2-0 would worry me...

'Aggressive, but very emotional. Goes mad in provocations. Ideal target to pressure' I know that sums me up too on my most wound up days, but Mourinho actually said this about another human being (albeit on the pitch) without a hint of irony :lol:

Goes to show that - to an extent - management is a game where you are limited. No matter how good a coach you are, in this era you will always do far better with Real Madrid than you will with Everton (no disrespect to the blue scousers). It isn't the 80s anymore. Management isn't like being a...

She's stunning.

Thanks, you too.

True, for instance everyone remembers and eulogises over many sides who didn't win the World Cup or Euros, because they were beautiful to watch. Some examples of teams who are loved despite winning nothing are Netherlands 74 and 78, Hungary 54, Brazil 82, Czech Republic 2004. These teams remain...

Lol at bold. Romeu wasn't bad in the PL, but really those three players were never particularly good anyway. It depends if you're asking sheer terribleness of the player or paying too much for a player who's good but flops anyway eg Griezmann, Ibra, Coutinho etc.

As fergus says, there's been worse performers than Ibra. But parting with a lot of money AND prime Eto'o (who went on to be a key factor in Inter winning the treble, playing as more of a workhorse too) is one of the worst non-Chelsea, non-Man United deals in football history. Lots of us knew at...

They deserve respect - they're a big European club, just under the usual elite group historically and in general. They have good players and fast attackers who can cause anyone a problem on their day. I think Barcelona will win at home tomorrow, but the Westfalenstadion isn't usually an easy...

He was poor tonight. He had one great chance where he intelligently opened his body up for the right foot curler in the box, and didn't get anywhere near enough bend on it and hit it straight into Raya's arms. To be fair it was hard to open his body up sufficiently in the time frame he had, but...

Sounds like a dig at me (might be wrong, lol) but I already softened my stance on henry, who was a genius and one of the best player of his generation.

Not sure about Valverde, though I think you are likely right, but spot on about Gerrard. He wasn't a controller and was better attacking the box or doing his Stevie Me one man solo act. He was never like a Xavi or Modric.

It would certainly be an amazing spectacle. Would be even more fitting if a game like that was at Wembley. Neutral ground, maybe the biggest romance in football (from history standpoint, not current logistics) and both teams have already won European Cups there.

Lol I actually like the boy but he's too loyal to Tempt and has the hump with me now because Tempt does, lol.
