That makes sense too lol. The coach is more important than any single player really. It is a bit weird. I can see both sides as I have implied.

Neymar is a genius, even on that absolute mess of a pitch. Agree with what Montenegrin Culer said too - Ronaldo gets praised for penalties or simple finishes. Neymar and Messi are still geniuses who do far more impressive things than him.

I am not writing them off, though I don't thin they were better than City last season (regardless of what some stats said). Obviously they can win the league but City dominate English football. I wouldn't call the red cards dubious - even if they were, they are a dirty team that partake in the...

That majestic pass to Alba for the cross in shows why I hate goal and assist stats. This guy could have hundreds more 'assists' if you count very key actions in a goal, even if they are not one of the final two players before the ball crosses the line. This guy makes a mockery of the obsession...

This is what happens with Man United in England too.

Maybe you are a bit against them, but I tend to agree. I don't see them as being able to keep pace with City if and when City hit form. Even last season. Everyone was predicting them to beat Bayern easily. I know that league form goes out the window in knockout ties, and that Bayern have the...

I just don't think that Arsenal will be consistent enough to keep up with Man City's absolute relentlessness.

Bad result for Arsenal. I do remain unconvinced about them. Credit to Bournemouth, though.

Second finish is lovely. Looks how he sorts his feet out and adjusts to put the ball in the bottom corner in a calm and controller manner.

I am pretty sure people say it now in some spaces but I have been thinking for a number of years that the boundaries are less clear now. Who knows though. I guess you could make the argument if you are a left leaning/progressive person that nationality becoming more fluid is something to...

That's the luxury of a forward. Can miss chance after chance or make mistake after mistake but get one thing right and you're a superstar. Lots of them do it. Conversely, a keeper or defender can do everything right, do one mistake, and they're the villain. Just the dynamics of football. It...

While I agree with just about everything you say, a philosophical question could be posed: if nationality is more transient now, and the lines are less clearly demarcated, what is really the point of dividing countries into national teams in sport and playing for cultural or patriotic pride? I...

Someone should do a mock up of Kane as Bin Laden. I love that sort of stuff.

Fair enough, I didn't have all the information. Hopefully Bayern are tired and Barca can win during the week. Sevilla tomorrow night could be a tricky game.

Spain definitely. I think the thing with Barca is they were so so good during Xavi's prime (the best team ever for me) that it would have been impossible to sustain that even if Xavi was 5 years younger. They still had Messi, Neymar, Suarez joined as Xavi aged, Iniesta was still about mostly...

Just seen Pavlovic went off after 8 minutes, injury it's fair to assume? The lad is a promising prospect but he does seem to be picking up a few injuries, it's concerning.

No real opinion about him as a coach, but he's the best midfielder I have ever seen and doesn't get enough credit for ho good we has from some, with some berks calling him a 'system player' and stuff like that.

Fair play to them. They played very well for most of that second half. Brentford disappointed after going a goal in front. Still too much time-wasting though by United. Garnacho will live off that goal for the next 5 games.

That's the last game at the end of January, isn't it? Maybe slightly optimistic but INEOS seem clueless so who knows, lol.

They might come back in second half. Brentford have did quite well though. United do struggle to score more than one goal in a game.
