A great first half that I thoroughly enjoyed. Both teams played their part but Barca deservedly lead. The kamikaze high line of Barca is worrying me a bit but on most occasions it's been dealt with well. Four very nice goals in the game so far. I am sure most of what I have to say about the...

Yes I raised my eyebrow at that too. He's an excellent player, really not sure about all-time great prospect, can't imagine that at all. I guess it depends how loose someone's definition of all-time great is. You never know.

Went for 2-1 Barca, but also tempted by 1-1 or 2-2. I hope Barca can do the job anyway - would send out a great statement if you can beat a top power like Bayern. I have noticed there is a fair amount of depth in the Barca squad now, when most players are fit anyway. I will be watching anyway...

I asked my Portuguese mate about Beckham, he said this. I think this backs up what was said earlier - people think Beckham is being rated as one of the best players ever. That's not the case though. Maybe that's why he gets underrated as an attempt to 'restore balance', a pushback: 'He was...

@Fati_Future_BallonDor Here are my predictions mate, as you requested

Been better off signing Joao Pinto than those two to be fair, and he's 53.

By alpha males I just meant you seem to admire guys whose looks you rate, that's all. Fair enough, I was expecting you to say something like 'David Beckham was incredibly handsome but he was still an excellent player'. You have taken me by surprise by having no interest in him personally, in a...

Lol you are never gonna let me live that down are you :lol: . Lol taking inspiration from your idol, Cristiano.

Yes, never disputed he could play an excellent long pass. I just remember him overusing it because of - as you say - main character flashy syndrome on the pitch. Beckham maybe had an even better long pass than Scholes, tbh. Most of Scholes were long diagonals to the wing, crossfields. Whereas...

Genuinely not having a go...but I know how into looks and 'alpha males' you are - are you maybe into Beckham also because he was said to be so handsome and glamorous? Lol. It's a genuine question. As a person he's quite awful. The email scandal, the Royal sycophancy, the selling out to Qatar...

I think he's underrated by modern fans who resent his celebrity status, and overrated by celebrity worshippers who think he's one of the best players of all time. I would slightly disagree on the passing range - he did have a great long pass, but sometimes his long passes got cut out, and he...

Yeah he's not the brightest player is he.

Hopefully you can see if there's a bald spot on the back of his head as he desperately runs back for two or three Barcelona goals.

Nice one. Yeah I have always said I wish a lot more of my games, training etc were filmed. I do have a couple of videos though. One of a solo goal I scored in the final of a 5 a side tournament in 2013 (though we lost 2-1, I believe my goal was the equaliser) but obviously I won't upload it...

Terrible misses but the distance Neves got on that chest assist is impressive.

I haven't made them yet, though I have a pretty good idea what I will go. I will add the two EL games that are on early today as well.

I think maybe it's that. Or it could be some kind of mental health thing where nothing flusters him and he just has to keep going. I implied he was autistic (and I really regret doing that as I generally hate ableist language) but I think being serious he might be. Autistic people are able to...

Yer that comment was embarrassing by me and hard to live it down. The guy just pushed me so far I wasn't thinking straight.

Not sure how I kept pace with him. He was relentless. It went on over several days, about three threads, and almost a hundred pages. The guy just would not stop and wouldn't acknowledge points either, lol.

Thanks for the confidence boost :lol:
