Anyone interested? Hosted by Denmark, Norway and Croatia. Begins in 14 January, runs for a few weeks. I am developing interest in other sports such as track and field, swimming, volleyball and handball since the Olympics. Could watch some of this when there's no interesting football on. I...

Fair enough. Maybe some go over the top with criticism but I would suggest in some ways it is a reaction to the over the top praise too. You know full well from our discussions that I have a lot of time for you. I am a grown up and will never let disagreements on football or footballers affect...

Revista and live La Liga games on Sky was so good. I used to watch Premier League from the early 90s at my gran and grandad's when Sky (then BSkyB) started it with the disgraced Richard Keys and Andy Gray. Obviously Sky has sort of ruined football now but back then it was fresh and exciting to...

Obviously you are a good guy, and you don't really insult unless someone insults you first. There's a lot to like about you as a person. But don't you see that this Lewy love is stan behaviour and crosses into celebrity worship? You have lost all objectivity on the lad now. You just love him...

He won't. If you have watched football for as long as I have the signs are there - you can see it coming a mile off. He failed a lot of the time when it matters in his prime so he will definitely underperform in the crunch time now he's past it. This will be Flick's undoing.

Yeah I am not denying he has been world-class. Just saying as a player he is very bland and by the numbers. He scores loads of goals but would you pay to watch him? Others 'achieved' less but were far more talented. I agree too, I get on with Temptation but he is taking this fanboy behaviour...

Not sure why you are laughing - are you denying the individual should be subservient and secondary to the team? Or that Bayern had a monopoloy over the Bundesliga? Or that Robert's all-round game isn't really that good relative to players he is compared to? All seem fair shouts to me.

The problem with not looking beyond goal stats, or context. The guy scores goals but even at his best he was only acceptably good in the link up phase. Really good hold up play but clearly someone like Modric, Xavi or Iniesta are much better footballers than him. Iniesta and Xavi ar 100 times...

Yeah I was just joking, but there is a serious debate about that sort of thing in France. I am not really a fan of Zidane as a coach but will be interesting if he gets the job.

Reported for discrimination against bald people... Just joking.

That's because of the increasing, mind-numbing, dull as fuck American influence on and corruption of our game, which attempts to drill a highly qualitative game such as football down to boring numbers. Other reasons for it is the internet era and being able to aggregate all sorts of stats, as...

There must be something about being LW Number 7 at Real Madrid that makes players cunts.

Liverpool are good but the PL has been weak this season. I think they're a step down from Klopp's best teams but don't have peak City to go against.

That's not really true, it can be but other coaches have got their ideas across quite quickly. Maresca, De Zerbi himself when he went to Brighton. Amorim seems a good coach, but that club is unfixable and he needs to work miracles there. I will make a bet with you (if I am still here by then)...

Stuff like 'experience, guidance to the youngsters' always makes me laugh when people desperately use them about clearly failing veteran players like Lewy and Ronaldo. They are vague, nebulous, intangible 'qualities' just like 'mentality' is. They can never be proved or measured or seen like a...

Good post mate, cheers.

Thanks my friend, you too. I am Notorious for doing it My Own Way.

See my small joke above in reply to him. Also a boxer.

good post mate. agree. What got you into the Glsgow derby? I am assuming you aren't scottish like I am.

He's a good player but this is an ordinary world.
