    His sister is stunning.

    Champions League 2024-25

    23 minutes before a goal there. Took longer to score than Franck Ribery in a sorority house.

    Premier League 24/25

    Class that you learned it - I know you said you played at a fairly high level. With me, I take free-kicks, but I never use the knuckleball technique, just not my style. Prefer Beckham's inside of the foot approach - you get more control of the ball and accuracy with that. I like to whip the ball.

    Who would perform better: Pep's Messi in Lucho's Barca or Lucho's Messi in Pep's Barca?

    Not sure but this is an interesting question, nice work. I do feel his absolute peak was under Pep but he was still immense and best of all time material under Enrique. It's a loaded question that is difficult to answer.

    Champions League 2024-25

    Presently have the Milan and Monaco outcomes correct. Tonight is straightforward ON PAPER for many ties, but here's my predictions. Gone for a goalfest in RM vs Dortmund even though RM don't appear to be massive scorers right now. Let's see how it goes. Should maybe increase Girona win but...

    Real Madrid

    Lol that went on for round about three different threads over about five days. Jam Dav knows how to wind people up for sure :lol:

    Real Madrid

    Maybe you're right, Gato - I am not arrogant enough to think my opinion is fact on anything, plus you will watch Bellingham more than me. But in my humble opinion it seems clear that Bellingham is much better further up the pitch where he can hurt teams, rather than in midfield where he lacks...

    Bundesliga

    Further to my PL prediction, I had quite a good week in the Bundesliga. I had a pretty decent week in all of my leagues this week except SPL where I got 1/6, lol (I play the big five plus the SPL, plus CL and EL) though I am still not performing as well as in previous seasons generally (been...

    Galactico signing 2025/26

    Jam Dav. But he refuses to play as Frenkie is used as a makeweight in the other direction.

    Real Madrid

    Yes. I have said the same since I first watched him. Frankly, it staggers me anyone would think otherwise.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Jam Dav predicted United and Rashford to have a great season too, how's that working out? - he's used to being wrong. Edit: also, X-Men: The Animated Series is a great show.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    He's got a point though. Ronaldo HAS boosted his stats hugely with penalties, and he does miss more than his fans will care to admit. Pointing that out - especially in light of all the 'Ronaldo is the best penalty taker of anyone who ever existed!' - bollocks and hysteria is simply King Leo...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    There's nothing 'irrational' about having a strong dislike for Ronaldo. In fact I would say it's the conclusion a well-rounded human and good judge of character would come to, based on his many issues as a person on and off the pitch.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I think King Leo's point is that Messi is viewed as an average or at best slightly above average penalty taker. Whereas 'that other guy' is claimed to be the world's best ever penalty taker - absolutely super duper at them - yet he has a lower percentage than plenty others (even those who have...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Ronaldo has missed a lot more penalties (especially important ones) than his overly protective, obsessive fanboys will ever admit to.

    CL Round 3: Barca - Bayern 4-1

    Brilliant video, though. The finish at 12.40 is lovely execution and ingenuity.

    CL Round 3: Barca - Bayern 4-1

    And my comment was more about you attempting to position yourself as 'more informed' on the matter (hence disregarding my viewpoint) due to you watching Lewa and Bayern much more than I did - an implied claim that I am suspicious of. I have seen more than enough of Lewandowski over his lengthy...

    CL Round 3: Barca - Bayern 4-1

    How do you know I am 'not a Bundesliga fan'? Don't assume things about me when you barely even know me. I respect German football a lot. If I don't watch it very often it's because of getting older and increasing laziness/disillusionment with football, not because I think it is pish. It's a very...

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    The problem with Cristiano Ronaldo is that all the compliments showered on him are centred around his 'achievements and records' i.e. goal stats and trophies. It's no surprise that Lewandowski focused on these thins because he values much the same things (wrongly in my opinion). Records are...
