    Greatest club team of the 21st century

    I agree Pep's Barca were a much better team than the Real three in a row team. They played far better football and to me that is the greatest team I have ever seen (club or international). However, what I will say is that bismp seems to be leaning quite strongly on achievements and accolades in...

    Greatest club team of the 21st century

    True, good point on the ageing of City's star players in those years. Especially the loss of David Silva from the team really impacted their playmaking style. He ran that team for a long time, in my opinion. I am a very big fan of his. Yeah I figured that would be your line of argument and it's...

    Greatest club team of the 21st century

    Good response. I'd say Madrid's argument is much more about what they won, rather than how they played and did it. The what over the how.

    Greatest club team of the 21st century

    @bismp Seeing as I am quite familiar with these teams as I follow the PL a lot, and, It could be an anti-Madrid bias, but I would also be tempted to put Man City in second. True, they didn't win the CL as much, but they won all three domestic leagues (and in 2024 too solidifying that status)...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Fair enough. There's things to like about it and also reasons to be sceptical. Like I say, having watched him for many years I could type out some of both, but not really in the mood right now. I definitely think it could turn out well. My worry for Barca is he plays poorly and kicks up a fuss...

    Just trying to give a more balanced viewpoint - look at pros and cons - rather than being dogmatically against him.

    Greatest club team of the 21st century

    I agree that Bayern season was better than any of those Real seasons. I would much rather watch them and their style of play. They were more impressive than any season for the Real three in a row team (I'd argue 2014 was Real's most deserved of the four in Ronaldo's time there). And that real...

    Some lovely ones there - though a lot of them are older (maybe the video is older). Can't believe the Chelsea FK is almost 6 years ago. Time flies. I watched it live and remember thinking it was exceptional. That little 'oo' from Neville after he hits it.

    He looks about 65 in that photo. I think it's the stache. I mean he would look decent for an older man. That's a glimpse into his future.

    Euro 2028

    Yeah was thinking England would be second favourites due to their emerging and large pool of talent. Plus, as you say, home advantage. Just hope they don't get to play every game at Wembley (outside semis and final which are all there anyway).

    Euro 2028

    I know it's early - three years to be precise - and the World Cup is still to come first. But three years passes quickly in life and football too. Anyone got any predictions or anything? Are there younger kids emerging that will be young players there do you think (maybe they are 15 or 16 now...

    Yes he has a heart of gold. @zanela he probably didn't realise you were an adult woman. He can be a bit hyper and not pay attention, lol.

    had stuff to do today so missed the London Diamond League meet. :cry:

    Greatest club team of the 21st century

    Aye I agree with all that and was in my mind when considering it - that really they both had one sensational season but either side was worse (relatively speaking). In the three season spells, as you are ranking by, they probably do deserve to be rated lower than United, who won three titles in...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    He's actually quite decent at them when he catches them well. I have no idea of his ratio but I have seen him score a few belters. He's missed plenty too but that's par for the course. He could score a few if given opportunity to take them. I might write out a list of Rashford pros and cons on...

    Greatest club team of the 21st century

    Good list - I'd personally put Barca under Enrique a bit higher and maybe move them around with United of 07-09. I feel the Bayern treble season was sensational too, though they didn't sustain that (relatively speaking). Overall though it is a good list and well thought out, and I salute the...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Fair enough. I don't agree with you on Rashford that much (though I acknowledge he could do well under Flick) but I respect that nobody is right and nobody is wrong and it's a matter of opinion. I am not sure which way it will go for him at Barca, in all honesty. Could honestly see him doing...

    Lol I do feel bad now. I slagged you off a lot because I thought you were slagging me. Tbh, I do strongly disagree with you on various football things, but was only being a dick cos I thought you were being a dick to me first. I do feel bad now. But overall, you have gone back up in my...
