Brilliant video, though. The finish at 12.40 is lovely execution and ingenuity.

And my comment was more about you attempting to position yourself as 'more informed' on the matter (hence disregarding my viewpoint) due to you watching Lewa and Bayern much more than I did - an implied claim that I am suspicious of. I have seen more than enough of Lewandowski over his lengthy...

How do you know I am 'not a Bundesliga fan'? Don't assume things about me when you barely even know me. I respect German football a lot. If I don't watch it very often it's because of getting older and increasing laziness/disillusionment with football, not because I think it is pish. It's a very...

The problem with Cristiano Ronaldo is that all the compliments showered on him are centred around his 'achievements and records' i.e. goal stats and trophies. It's no surprise that Lewandowski focused on these thins because he values much the same things (wrongly in my opinion). Records are...

Did you watch Bayern every week? It's doubtful. Unnecessary comment. Also, YouTube videos are designed to only show the good parts of a player's ability, and omit the poor. Nevertheless, I never disputed he had a very good all-round game. My main point is that his passing was never as...

A decent, but not amazing weekend in PL prediction, thanks to a few exacts. Would have had four exacts had I not altered Man U Brentford from 2-1 to 1-2, no idea why I change sometimes. Especially with them as every time I back them to lose they win, and vice-versa.

One world-class forward recognising another. I do think Kane has more to his game but that's because I am partial to strikers who drop deep, link play and pass out to wingers. And Kane is one of the very best passing number 9s I have seen.

Good stuff m8.

It doesn't matter which team it is for, but I dislike stuttered run-ups at penalties. It's cheating in a way because the goalkeeper moves then you put it where he isn't in general. So many players do it but I don't think it should be permitted. It was even happening before 2000. But maybe I am...

Great reaction there. Messi has such an ability to glide and make everything look so effortless. It looked there like he was playing so cutely and everyone else was really trying.

Nah Fati, I just take people as I find them - if they are decent with me, I will be pleasant back. Most people on here are fine tbh and have a decent degree of civility in terms of football debate.

I thought that was gonna be Portsmouth one which I feel was kind of a fluke one. But that one vs Atletico is brilliant. Hit really well and lots of movement and right into the corner. I must say though that I think he'd score more free-kicks if he used the knuckleball technique less - it's too...

I know you'll say I am being harsh again, and maybe I am, but Almunia really should be saving that. Don't get me wrong, it was a fantastic hit, but when i watched it live I thought the 'keeper should save that all day long. Now the strike against Porto earlier in the competition that season -...

Good shout lol.

We didn't always get on, but I do believe that (while I disagree with you on some stuff) your heart is in the right place and you are a decent guy overall. welcome back

He's doing brilliantly but he himself knows more than anyone that he has to maintain this. I believe he can, but obviously the hard work needs to be done. The Bayern and Real Madrid games will tell us more. I really hope he and Barca come through unscathed because he's clearly putting in a lot...

I agree with you to an extent, as I said already - 9th is too low. But surely Salah and De Bruyne and Henry have had single or multiple seasons better than 08/09? I watched him in 08/09 and there was a decline in performance from the previous two seasons, though he did score plenty of goals...

He's always been an amazingly gifted player. A brilliant talent. His only issue is injuries. Other than that, the sky is the limit.

Hard to say what is going to happen. Much will come down to who performs on the night, as both teams have some excellent players. Flick being a better, more wily coach than Kompany will help too, especially when it comes to in-game management and substitutions. I think I will go for 2-1 Barca...

To be fair he only had two great seasons, 06/07 and 07/08. In 08/09 he was rather underwhelming by the standards of this list, and his first three seasons he was just a promising, developing young player.
