I will be watching I expect. Really hope Barca can win. Goes without saying but I would be more confident if it was a home game. I have gone for 2-2 on the predictor site but wouldn't be surprised if Barca win either. Need to watch their pace in behind and their spawniness. But still try to...

classic Messi pass at 6.10. Fantastic goal from outside the box by Alba.

Yeah I agree. He does really well in that target man role and offering a focal point for Forest to get out, and for crosses. It's not always pretty but he is a good striker and gets the job done often. To be fair, on occasion he has shown he can play a bit too. I think it was Boxing Day last...

Sometimes I think being a sports journalist must be the easiest gig going. Just fabricate some random nonsense and watch the clicks roll in.

Good win for Forest last night. They're doing well. Their goal prior to the season was likely to survive and they're already virtually halfway there with 16 points after 8 games. Only one loss in nine is very good for a team like Forest - let's see if they can maintain.

Hahaha I posted the same thing. That is one of the most baffling things I have ever seen a coach say - they were getting totally destroyed before the red card and 1-0 flattered them at that point.

Thanks mate. Appreciate you informing me and posting it for me. I will know for next time.

Agree on Rashford and Garnacho, though the latter still has hope as he's young. But he drastically needs to improve his touch and football IQ. Onana has been quite good so far this season to be fair to him. But it tells its own story that one of their better players has been the GK. Fernandes...

Yes I agree. Ten Hag is poor but the quality of their squad is average on a good day. If they think getting rid of Ten Hag is the key to vast improvement with this squad then I think they're in for a rude awakening. Personally, I think they're in denial. They're scared they're miles off...

He is losing the plot more and more (sorry it's not linking directly to the video, not sure what is happening). https://x.com/i/status/1849810823792697617

No I am not, but welcome to the site. Good to have you here.

In November. It might be a good game to watch.

They hate Barcelona, and it's 100 percent PTSD from the two CL Finals under Pep. As for Messi - there are Messi fans there, but the ones who don't like him are the Ronaldo sycophants. After Ronaldo screwed United over before the World Cup a lot turned on him, but there were and are some who...

I am not on Redcafe, Smiler - I have had the odd account just to make a post, and then leave, but I just lurk it. I have probably made ten posts there in 16 years over a few accounts. I will never make one again, though. I like to read different football forums, though a lot of the time it's...

Slot has got you more controlled and very settled down which I like. I did watch the Leipzig highlights and it looks like you conceded a lot of chances to them. It could have been the way the highlights were edited though to make it seem like Leipzig applied lots of pressure. How long is...

One of my favourite films. Both the short European cut and the longer American one. Half the time the guy handles the ball like he's playing in the snow.

Fair enough. I think Rodri is the best player in the world (when fit) and he is extremely important to them. I still think they might be able to do it without him though. But you may well be right. Time will tell. I wouldn't put my house on them winning it, that's for sure. Boring as fuck but...

Fair enough points on the first paragraph possibly yeah. Maybe myself and Smiler have a more pessimistic outlook. As for the second, I don't think you can overlook Man City. They are always there or thereabouts. I know they're in an average moment right now performance-wise but they tend to...

Yes I agree La Liga is more likely. It's boring to say But Man City and Real Madrid are still the favourites for the CL based on recent seasons as well as how they get the job done, and the players they have. I feel Barca lack the experience as of yet. They could win the CL, but I agree that the...

Yes it is still early days. But the signs are definitely good for Barcelona right now. Much work to be done though as you imply mate - the hard part of the season is yet to come. With the young profile of the team it is a while away from peaking, likely several years, and there's always turnover...
