It lost its credibility when Ronaldo robbed Ribery, lol. Messi deserved it that year. Or Modric ;) Ronaldo poor in CL Final and World Cup (goes against Messi too).

No need to put Maradona down as a player to elevate Messi. They're the two best, most talented players ever most likely. They both have their pros and cons. Sure most prefer Messi these days but I don't think it is that clear cut.

He's got twice as many dribbles as any player (Hazard in second) since he's been playing :lol: And more than double the MOTM, lol. He's a genius.

That's true in the sense of going on a run. On the other hand, Swansea were the last non top 6 club to win the trophy, back in 2013. Since then Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Man United have won it only. In fact since 2016 only City, United and Liverpool have won it.

They don't run a game for the League Cup. The do for FA Cup.

I am sure it will come back around - some weeks are good, some are not so good. Also, most of what I got wrong is Scottish football - which ironically is what I tend to know least about.

Yeah it was one of those. That's why some PL weeks are higher than others in scores on there - some weeks have more 'straightforward games' and other weeks have tighter games in general. For what it i worth I did have a good Serie A gameweek in general - I moved up 24 places in one of my...

@Horatio @Temptation @Fati_Future_BallonDor @Loki So a pretty mediocre night last night. 4 greens and 6 reds. To be fair, though, the outcomes I got wrong were mostly pretty big upsets. It can take a lot of courage to predict an upset as the odds are against it and you know most will predict...

Fair point mate - noticed those very small actions myself. Something to think about. On the other hand, these are minor issues and he seems remarkably level-headed for a 17 year old. I was fucked up at 17 :lol: I am sure many of us were. What you suggest could transpire, but it could also go...

More of a fan of Camavinga myself, though he isn't looking looking great himself at this moment. Tchouameni just seems like a solid, steady eddie type on his best day. Maybe I am undervaluing him though. He's 24 now so out of the rookie part of his career, even if he's still youthful.

La Liga president says 'I'm a Real Madrid fan'...hmmm. I assume he means it as he rates the club rather being a fan literally in the sense of a supporter, lol. Edit: just seen he is outed as a supporter. That is very fucked up.

They're even worse on grass.

Mainly first teamers big Ruud has put out. Makes sense - he clearly wants to make an impression in his first game.

Yep. Never rated him as my posts on here show. He is just good at running in big spaces. Sometimes he's ok at taking on a full-back 1 v 1 but he's a poor crosser too. He's 25 now so he can no longer claim to be a raw talent. He will flatter to deceive until he retires, in my opinion. It's...

Two excellent results for me last night in this - especially looking at the percentage of people who predicted the right outcome (plus one is an exact). I predicted 1-1 Milan Napoli though which was wrong - 39 percent did back Napoli. All three games were tough to call last night and very split.

Here's an example, it gives info in terms of odds and form guide. Obviously we can look these up ourselves but it's handy in one place. As a Premium Member I also have access to PL and CL match previews, which are handy. I sometimes read them but I make the decision myself. They're a nice...

I don't follow them all in the sense of watching them etc. But generally you know the best teams in leagues, who plays for them etc. They also post odds for most games that give you an idea of the favourites etc. Even if you don't follow the leagues, it is worth playing. It is free (though I pay...

Thanks. Yeah in PL especially. I have a fair amount of top 1,2,3 4, 5 percent finishes over the last several seasons in various leagues. Got a top 3 percent finish for the Euros and top 7 percent for Copa America. Some a bit lower too. I did post my entire career on that page 98 of the Premier...

Here are tonight and tomorrow's predictions, for various leagues. Also have Venezia 1-2 Udinese and Empoli 0-2 Inter just started. Might change to Aberdeen win - they're doing well this season.

Fair examples, but I would say it's not a 100 percent success rate. I admit I am surprised that Xavi has not turned out to be an exceptional coach (so far), but I would say Rassvet's point stands in that midfielders are more likely to know about the game tactically because of spatial awareness...
