Also it's one of those games where United aren't attacking the Stretford End in second half. Brentford turned them round. They always struggle when that happens.

They really are comedy central. They're the gift that keeps on giving. On a serious note, hope De Ligt is fine. He seems fine and not concussed, just they haven't stemmed the bleeding (because as Loki says they're useless). Also does Garnacho ever pass? All he seems able to do is collect the...

I think I predicted 2-0 Athletic. They're one of those teams who in recent years are often amongst the strongest out of the remainder of the teams in La Liga (that aren't Barca, Real Madrid, or Atletico).

Nah think it was crossed wires. That was two years ago or so. As Andresito says he has now developed into a world class centre-half.

Yes I see both sides of it too, hence adding 'likes' to different arguments. I just think that - in England's case - if they wanna win something they have to find the best coach they can get. I take the piss but they do have some talented players, and there's no English coach who can bring the...

Lol, teams that win while playing beautiful football (and sometimes don't even win, as per my examples) will always be looked upon as better or more fondly than Mourinho or Herrera type 'win ugly' sides. Not sure what is controversial about that. It's like some of you don't even watch football...

Yeah a trash site for sure. Scholes is way too high, in my opinion. I'd also have Keane and Vieira higher than the three English midfielders, though admittedly Keane peaked more in the 90s. Ronaldo really only had two great seasons out of six at Man United, but still feel he's quite low. Good...

Give it up, Gazzznigga. You got caught talking bollocks (again) and can't handle being told so. Follow another sport. You don't 'get' football if you think it's only about what you win, and not also about how you win. That's the main point - a Barca forum of all places understands that. Not...

True, it is about nationalism and pride. But I personally think the coach can be an exception. Plus international football has become much more cosmopolitan anyway, with countries importing players from ex-colonies, or with grandparents, and all sorts of stuff. I do get your point, believe me...

Putting aside the stuff about whether he has the right credentials or not... You get mocked for being a laughing stock now (with an English coach) while winning fuck all. Who cares if you get 'mocked' if you are World Champions? It's pretty incredible that you are saying it's pointless to win...

You're a clown. I didn't say Varane had a wasted career either - you have reading comprehension issues. I actually said he achieved more than he should have given I don't think he was as talented as some think he was. Your arrogance is astounding - you troll everyone on here with antagonistic...

Not replying to the rest of your rant, but there are exceptions to this. Everyone remembers Hungary in the 50s and Holland in the 70s more than the West German and Argentine teams that defeated them. You reference Greece - they're a subject of derision now ('if Greece can do it...') and everyone...

Do you guys think he can maintain it? Or is it good form at the start of a season. What are your honest feelings?

It's the 'galactico' aka 'cunts' policy.

If you are referring to the post above, that was over two years ago. He's a mainstay in their defence now. Of course they'd sell him if they got an outrageous offer.

The ellipsis is ambiguous, lol. On Saliba though, I did think he was getting a little too much credit. But that is being pedantic, he's a really really good centre-back. Rarely flustered, makes the difficult things look fairly easy. I do like him and rate him pretty highly. Arsenal have a gem...

Havertz is very handsome (saying it as a straight man). The other two aren't oil paintings. But they're amazing footballers and that is all that matters. I am sure they don't lack female attention.

Yes it is a real shame he is injury-prone as he's a class act when he is fit. Lots of footballing intelligence, technique, and knows how to play cute little passes, get out of tight spaces to create overloads etc. He always impresses me when he's playing.

Yes, it has been a pleasure to watch him play over the last twenty or so years. He was a child prodigy. Did people in 2005 really see him overtaking Pele and Maradona and becoming the best player ever (for most, I still rate Maradona with him)? I watched him and thought he would break into that...
