@Birdy mate, I like you, think you're a nice guy and articulate, fairly intelligent. But the problem you have is you're far too much of an idealistic 'theory man;. Now don't get me wrong, I am like that to an extent too. But you're like it to a destructive extent. You don't need to analyse...

Anyway, it doesn't really matter to me who won what, who played for who etc. It's just obvious to me as a long-time football fan and player and from watching them, that Van Dijk or Ramos or even Pique have more ability than Varane. It's just something that's very obvious to me - even if Varane...

It's Ronaldo fanboys like you who do that. Claim Ronaldo was playing with pub players and did everything by himself. When actually, Real Madrid achieved most success when he stopped being more of an all-round player and being the tip of the spear. Highlighting the importance of his team-mates.

Fair enough. I also never said he was lucky - I said he wasn't as talented as other defenders playing at the same time and was a contributor but not one of the most important players at Real Madrid. Which I stand by.

I don't even like Liverpool. I don't like any of the top English teams. But it's obvious than Van Dijk was better than Varane. Forget what they have won and WATCH THEM over the last 10 years. Van Dijk was so much more dominant and the main defender for Liverpool. Varane was always Ramos's...

I love it personally. Guess they can console themselves with being 'the most popular sports team on the planet' eh? Appealing to lemmings is more important than being good at your job, right?

Terrible team aren't they. No idea how they keep fooling people into thinking they have hope. Also, their fans seem to love Dalot for some reason. He was an absolute abomination in that half. Seen their fans say they're scared Real Madrid will come for him. What fucking planet do they live on.

Fair enough

Really need Raphinha to come inside Young Boys and shoot/finish.

Fati - you're wowing me but it's true isn't it? He's so one-dimensional. All he ever does is get it wide and try to cut inside the full-back to shoot if on the left, or cut in on his left to shoot if on the right. He tries the same tricks and moves over and over and over again. He's like a mini...

Garnacho is exactly the type of player I dislike. A low IQ, heads down and run down blind alleys pace merchant who just tries the same thing over and over again until it works. He will probably score today but you can guarantee he will make 10 fuck ups as well. Rashford is the same on the other...

Also, I am sure Steven Gerrard or Matt Le Tissier or Alan Shearer would love to have won or 'accomplished' (code for trophies) what the Neville brothers or Darren Fletcher or John O'Shea or Nacho won. It means absolutely nothing when evaluating how good a player is. Especially when Varane was...

He probably didn't come close to it (despite the advantages of the club and NT he played for) because (for me) you are vastly overrating his talent in the first place. That's really the most obvious explanation. Good player sure but I never swallowed his hype. Van Dijk as one example is way more...

Need Celta to score a late winner for an exact.

It's more that every time I back United to lose in recent years they win (except Liverpool and Brighton this season), so it's a reverse jinx type of thing. That plus I took your opinion into account lol.

Hoffenheim are slight favourites going by the odds. Might as well back them as the home team.

fair point. Have changed it to 2-1. Your fault though if my original ends up correct:flick:

What do you guys think of my predictions for today? All leagues. I am torn on some of them

I understand what you mean mate - you want him to do his passing and dribbling closer to goal where it will do most damage. No problem. Yeah I know it isn't as simple as I claimed about Cruyff. He was big on positioning too. He was about spaces as you say. But at the same time he did like...

Yeah I agree, I never said his career was wasted - he won a lot. I am more talking about his place in the CB pantheon. He definitely did the best with his talent. Yeah those players sometimes won less but were clearly far better defenders than Varane mate, for me at least (though Kahn was a...
