I can see yours and vegitot's points, but I tend to lean more to your side, yes. I think he's an Iniesta-style player and can start and play deeper or play in the final third, but his best abilities lie a bit deeper. However, it's definitely a good debate. Overall though I think you make some...

I was half taking the piss. Anyway been fun talking, but I am gonna go watch a film, wash some clothes, then sleep - playing football either once or twice tomorrow, hopefully twice (depending on transport to another town/location) so I will have to sleep before 3 am at least. Goodnight mate...

We all know you are an arrogant bastard - false modesty doesn't suit you :lol:

I dont actually think Cr is that good a dribbler - he's more of a kick and run merchant. Hazard and Neymar, Ribery, Iniesta etc far better examples of weaving, intelligent dribblers than him. Of course CR was a decent dribbler but he gave up a lot of it to focus on goalscoring. Even when...

Agree. FWIW I hope and think Barca will win the league. I am especially confident because Real and Atletico look poor now, and Real are rarely a league team at the best of times. CL more up in the air as a lot of luck involved there. Fair enough - well played. Hopefully Flick continues to...

Had to laugh at the sycophantic commentator drooling over this lot and mentioning Amorim every minute. They never learn. There was also a lot of wanking over their youth system in the last 20 mins. Remind me who the last top class player they produced was? Class of 92? Also lots of talk how...

Indeed. It's looking prophetic if anyone said that. But, again, I would suggest caution. It's still only three months into his tenure. Barca are looking superb but it could go wrong - I hope it doesn't but we have all seen enough football to know teams look great early and then it all falls...

Being one of the 17 percent to predict Gala beating Tottenham is good.

On the other hand, he's currently taking a massive L on Arsenal and got blown to bits on Ten Hag and likely Zirkzee. And it is still early in the season, could still go wrong for Flick (though clearly I hope it does not). And Arsenal could improve etc. Not having a dig at Birdy, but it just...

Fair enough, though to me that is a weird retort. But alas, the creator of that video thought it was a Messi-like goal though, though maybe he was being sarcastic too. Either way, he is an ok dribbler, nobody denies that, but it's clearly not a facet of his game really. No shame in that - he's...

A massive debate that I wasn't involved in? This just won't do lads.

Great film - watched it for the second time ever this February. Might just be me but I think Christoph Waltz steals the entire show.

With all due respect to you (and you do seem like a really good guy), I believe that thinking Lewa vs Ronaldo 9 is a contest is indeed hyping him. You clearly disagree and that's fine. But for me, having seen R9 in his prime, there is a significant difference between the players. Fair enough...

It's nothing personal against him particularly (and to be fair I called Ronaldo R9). But I find all these initialisms cringe - R9, LM10, R10, and especially 'CR7'. Like you say it is promoting a brand rather than a person, and reflective of modern football. I can't remember if Ronaldo was...

Anyway @JustAnotherBarcaFan , it is not my goal to slag him off (unlike Cuntaldo for example, whom I insult with glee). I take no pleasure in criticising him next to others. I like the guy - tremendous player and seems like one of the more normal, decent footballers (without knowing him...

United should win at home, but you just never know with them.

Fair enough, I am not counting chickens with Yamal. LOL now YOU are doing it. There is no universe where 'RL9' (why call him that?) is on the same level as Brazilian Ronaldo. Brazilian Ronaldo was an absolute genius and one of the greatest PLAYERS of all time, never mind STRIKERS. Plenty of...

Ok. I haven't even said that Yamal will fulfil his potential (though clearly I very much hope he does as I wanna see such a potential genius showcase it). But he's a special talent still and that is obvious. I also agree that his passing is more advanced than his dribbling at the moment, he's...

The problem you have is you are engaging in a strawman. As I said, everyone knows that Robert is one of the best strikers of the last 30 or 40 years - nobody has denied that. The pushback comes from guys like Temp slagging off R9 (a much superior player) to elevate him, or from Grande claiming...

Burn him at the stake. Like in Salem.
