Apparently his wife is or has divorced him because he is 'too perfect'. Even Kaka can't keep a woman in the hypergamous 2025, lol.

Short players tend to be the best dribblers, for many reasons. Low centre of gravity, closer to the ground so can take shorter and better touches, better agility, sometimes more acceleration, quicker on the half-turn and turning circle, they tend to just move like a flea and weave in and out of...

I honestly didn't mean it like that lol. Even William Wallace if he were immortal and still alive would acnowledge our serious decline as a football nation :lol:

Yeah mate he was a funny guy Grobbellaar. That Liverpool side was very good. Rush was more of a poacher with not much else to his game, but he could score goals. Dalglish, Hansen, Souness et al - back when Scotland had world-class footballers, lol.

He's a bit of a throwback in that he has so much technical ability, plays for the team and seems to carry out Pep's instructions, despite the fact he has a maverick in him too. He has become very unselfish, but people don't like it because he is constraining himself. He does overdo it - in the...

Always been class.

He seemed to really only play well at WC 2018. Was decent at Euro 2020 but they crashed out early, and he was poor at Euro 2016. I definitely do not think he has close to Zidane's international body of work. Like I say he was good at WC 2018 but don't think he was even in France's top 5...

Yeah I am not attaching the blame to the players (he and Haaland). They do well to score them goals. Just saying in general the teams were getting goals from more sources before.

Had a difficult week in PL predictor (though I did get some outcomes right including an exact for Newcastle-Brentford). The Villa result was a tough one to take as I predicted Brighton to win. So I have dropped from 10th in the world to 17th. Got Chelsea 2-1 tonight. Hopefully this isn't my...

Yeah some people don't seem to understand it isn't about how many the individual scores, but how many the team score. Was the same with Haaland at Man City - they were a better more three-dimensional side when they shared the goals about before he arrived. @Loki

Plenty of their fans seem pleased with how they played against Forest, and believe it demonstrates the progress they think they're experiencing in recent months under Amorim. Don't get me wrong - they weren't that bad, and I have seen them play much worse. But I am still not seeing anything to...

More to football than stats. He does damage going the other way losing the ball three times in two minutes too. He's always gonna get great stats cos he's that type of stats cheat player. It's the rest of his game - that you neglect to talk about - that need work. That's not to say he's not a...

'Fellainingham' lol.

Hahaha thanks, yeah you and I have always seemingly got on well. I just need to take a more relaxed attitude to football, and life in general. It really isn't worth getting all hot under the collar over. Hope you are well.

Sorry for snapping at you in the Lewy thread at the weekend mate. I guess I am just very precious when it comes to the all-time greats, and the pantheon. You didn't even say anything bad or wrong, I just took it the wrong way and went on a rant. I think Lewy is probably 6-10 best striker ever...

Anyway, bedtime for me - it's almost 1 am and I am up early. Some echo chamber this. Feel free as fanboys to continue to delude yourselves that Lewy is better than Pele and R9 because he 'plays in the more advanced, professional era' :lol: Nighty night.

Ignore function working a treat here (y)

I see I have upset two (maybe three) Lewy fanboys by extolling the virtues of past players. Ah well, such is life.

Some of you guys act like the 60s was the Cretaceous period. Yes football has changed, but a lot of players from then would shine and prosper in modern football (if given training to bring them to today's fitnesss tandards). Because they were geniuses at playing football. Equally, many players...

Glad we have come to an understanding on the first point - though the second point is not necessarily true either as there are so many other variables.
