    Been better off signing Joao Pinto than those two to be fair, and he's 53.

    Premier League 24/25

    By alpha males I just meant you seem to admire guys whose looks you rate, that's all. Fair enough, I was expecting you to say something like 'David Beckham was incredibly handsome but he was still an excellent player'. You have taken me by surprise by having no interest in him personally, in a...

    Lol you are never gonna let me live that down are you :lol: . Lol taking inspiration from your idol, Cristiano.

    Premier League 24/25

    Yes, never disputed he could play an excellent long pass. I just remember him overusing it because of - as you say - main character flashy syndrome on the pitch. Beckham maybe had an even better long pass than Scholes, tbh. Most of Scholes were long diagonals to the wing, crossfields. Whereas...

    Premier League 24/25

    Genuinely not having a go...but I know how into looks and 'alpha males' you are - are you maybe into Beckham also because he was said to be so handsome and glamorous? Lol. It's a genuine question. As a person he's quite awful. The email scandal, the Royal sycophancy, the selling out to Qatar...

    Premier League 24/25

    I think he's underrated by modern fans who resent his celebrity status, and overrated by celebrity worshippers who think he's one of the best players of all time. I would slightly disagree on the passing range - he did have a great long pass, but sometimes his long passes got cut out, and he...

    Yeah he's not the brightest player is he.

    CL Round 3: Barca - Bayern 4-1

    Hopefully you can see if there's a bald spot on the back of his head as he desperately runs back for two or three Barcelona goals.

    Premier League 24/25

    Nice one. Yeah I have always said I wish a lot more of my games, training etc were filmed. I do have a couple of videos though. One of a solo goal I scored in the final of a 5 a side tournament in 2013 (though we lost 2-1, I believe my goal was the equaliser) but obviously I won't upload it...

    Terrible misses but the distance Neves got on that chest assist is impressive.

    I haven't made them yet, though I have a pretty good idea what I will go. I will add the two EL games that are on early today as well.

    Real Madrid

    I think maybe it's that. Or it could be some kind of mental health thing where nothing flusters him and he just has to keep going. I implied he was autistic (and I really regret doing that as I generally hate ableist language) but I think being serious he might be. Autistic people are able to...

    Real Madrid

    Yer that comment was embarrassing by me and hard to live it down. The guy just pushed me so far I wasn't thinking straight.

    Real Madrid

    Not sure how I kept pace with him. He was relentless. It went on over several days, about three threads, and almost a hundred pages. The guy just would not stop and wouldn't acknowledge points either, lol.

    Fucking hell, was the 2013 Confederations Cup really 11 years ago already? Neymar was 21 as you say. It seems like yesterday. I was 31. I remember looking forward to that tournament, Man of Steel and The Last of Us which all came out a few days apart that summer. In the same timespan I will be...

    Viktor Gyökeres

    So much to like about that goal. First the turn on the touchline, the strength to hold the defender off. Then as he uses his pace to get away he cleverly cuts across the defender to take him out of the game and prevent him getting a challenge in. Then he doesn't panic when in front of goal and...

    11 - Raphinha

    Yes. People who say it's just about winning have an ok point, ultimately that goes down in the history books. But we now live in an era where everything is recorded - unlike the first half of the 20th century, the 90s onwards have so much footage that can be watched. Hence, people can educate...

    Viktor Gyökeres

    I don't normally care as much as some others about stats and haven't seen much of this guy, but 43 goals in 50 games last season (according to the dubious source that is wikipedia) is pretty impressive. Scored again tonight, too. If he has another great season he will likely move around the age...
