    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Nah, your posts don't have a lot of nuance. You think they do but it is obvious the game you are playing. You do criticise your favourite players, like Lewa and Ronaldo. But you do it in such a way that you're doing it to 'appear objective' (you're making a big thing about how objective you are...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Yeah that's very underwhelming as a 'dribbling goal'. Nice but hardly something out of the ordinary. Like you say after the first nice bit of skill he just goes around the defenders, not past them or through them, The title of the video 'when Lewa turned into Messi' is clueless and hyping Lewa...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    That's what makes the truly special players (ie greatest of all time) so special - they're not about volume, like Lewa and Ronaldo are. You like volume, I don't - to me if you need 10 chances to score one goal then you're simply a law of averages type and not that impressive. Not taking into...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    He is a good dribbler but to be fair YouTube videos don't prove anything - that's a rookie mistake. He's been playing at the very top level in top leagues for almost 15 years. You can find any player doing things here and there in that time. I can find Messi headed goals but it doesn't make him...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Yes exactly, that is what I was implying - great reflexes for first, and great awareness and movement for second.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Just watched the highlights. The second one is indeed great positioning as he gambles at the back post on Kounde's cross coming all the way through. Agree. First one he does well to get into a dangerous position, but he gets a huge element of luck in the ball coming straight back to him off...

    Brest are usually soft but this time they look like a firm test.

    Champions League 2024-25

    They and Inter the only teams who haven't conceded. Brugge letting down the black and blue stripes clean sheet gang.

    Yeah the shot spurted a bit but eventually the big boy dribbled it in.

    Sparta Prague came strong late and finished against them, though.

    Martin Keown melting down on TNT Sports :lol: Saying Arsenal were brilliant second half and arguing with James Horncastle.

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Fair play. I have watched so much football that sometimes it blends into one lol.

    Champions League 2024-25

    Lol true, it's obviously random as some teams have 'easier' schedules than others. Barca next lol.

    Champions League 2024-25

    Bayern struggling a bit themselves though. City as well in fact. Some of the 'more elite teams' are struggling in this, while teams like Brest, Sporting and Monaco are doing well. It's cool, though might make the knockout stages a bit weak if it continues.

    Champions League 2024-25

    4/9 correct outcomes today (assuming Bayern win), meh. The tight games didn't go my way, though backing a German team given their defensive struggles might have been silly. In good news I did get today's EL game exact - Besiktas 2-1 Malmo. I do seem to do better in the EL predictor than the CL...

    Champions League 2024-25

    Some of us called it. Thought they were being overrated last season. Plus Odegaard is their best player imo and they're really missing him. No Rice too. I know I talk about stats etc, but there's no goals in that team if Saka isn't scoring (and even he isn't a 20 PL goals per season goalscorer).

    Feyenoord, Sparta Prague and Stuttgart, for fuck sake.

    23 - Jules Kounde

    Someone said the other day he isn't good enough going forward - three assists in the next game. That's football's sense of humour for you.

    Champions League 2024-25

    That's what it said. It didn't make any sense to me either, lol. No problem, nothing sinister it seems.

    Just googled, signal box malfunction in the subway delayed the start. Lol.
