    Serie A

    He's a limited midfielder and player in general, but he's good at getting into the box and scoring goals a decent amount from midfield. Conte is playing to his strengths. Time will tell if he will sustain it.

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Imo Greenwood is a lot more talented than Rashford and a youunger investment, but obviously comes with all that 'baggage'.

    France

    They've played in 4 of the last 7 World Cup Finals. They have built up a pedigree and should be in the mix again. At least Quarter Finals and likely further if they reach 80 percent of their potential (QF is more impressive than usual given the extra knockout round)

    Champions League 2024-25

    Messi was MOM in three CL Finals he played in, or very close to it in 2009 (he or Xavi or Iniesta). Ronaldo on the other hand was rank rotten in all of the 2009, 2014, 2016 and 2018 finals. And not that great in 2008 besides his goal. Those stats never tell the full story because Ronaldo often...

    Premier League 24/25

    Agree, They were gonna be masters of the multiverse.

    Premier League 24/25

    They won 13 of the first 21 PL titles, under Ferguson. But they played perfect football for that era. They are a dino club - they have failed to adapt to modern football. Amusingly, what fucked them the most was Pep's Barca. Not only were they completely inadequate against them in the two...

    Premier League 24/25

    People think that about them all the time, don't worry. I am sure they will be back eventually. It could be soon as football changes quickly. However, there is so much competition in the PL now and they are left behind. They can't spend due to PSR, or sell because of the idiots putting their...

    Premier League 24/25

    To be fair I haven't posted for weeks so I know that.

    Premier League 24/25

    I have had this discussion with you before. It is worse than Aston Villa's squad. I have said this many times - people overrate their players simply because they wear a Man United shirt and because of United's past under Ferguson. For instance Morgan Rogers is miles more talented than Alejandro...

    Wayne Rooney

    Very good player. A bit overrated but par for the course being English and playing for Man U. Still a top player in his day. Though all the talk that he could play in midfield when he got older was hilarious at the time and proved utterly clueless when he did get older. Inconsistent touch and...

    Jude Bellingham

    You're the type of guy who thinks someone is 'great defensively' because they are tall, run about and have muscles and a six-pack.

    Jude Bellingham

    That sums him up completely. Let the stats merchants on here who have never kicked a ball though lick his arsehole. It's also another example of someone finally coming back into form and the rats coming out from under their holes. They will disappear again when he goes on a statless run.

    Jude Bellingham

    He's your type of player because of the 'glitz and glamour' around him - you see football as entertainment, not a sport, and you are obsessed with stats. Saying people are bitter because 'he's better than their club's midfielders' is silly and an extremely weak point as you could apply that to...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    He's at Bournemouth not Palace, but he did look good in the games or two I seen him in.

    Handball World Championship (Men)

    Fair enough, thanks for the info. Aye I overlooked the height advantage despite watching it a bit in the Olympics (and prior Olympics). That all makes sense then about it being a game for giants like basketball is. It's interesting that Asian and African teams have got far here and there in...

    FC Barcelona history

    Yeh and Rivaldo is away up at the top left out of sight lol.

    Premier League 24/25

    I think he's a decent coach, but 'clear his name' made me laugh. It sounds like he's been on trial for theft or something lol.

    Jude Bellingham

    True. I agree with you. Many people will boil it down to stats even though they shouldn't. I agree there. I just posted in Ronaldo's thread about it. Thinking Messi is Ronaldo's superior is a popular opinion, the general consensus. However, thinking he's much better, as I do, is less common...

    Jude Bellingham

    I disagree about Ronaldo (both on his looks, i don't rate his looks and many women don't too and the other stuff, Messi was far better at football outside of just stats). I don't think Ronaldo comes close to Messi, but we can disagree there. Bellingham to me is a good player but more of an end...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Like I said in his thread, the striker market doesn't seem that great now. Is there a single striker in the world (other than Haaland) who measures up to Lewy himself in his prime, Suarez, Benzema, Aguero, Zlatan? I think as inverted forwards became popular maybe fewer young players wanted to...
