    Premier League 25/26

    Agree with most (if you are talking modern player teams) especially that Neville was a sold, dependable, underrated player who is too modest about his playing career. Bit harsh to call Walker a 'donkey blessed with exceptional athleticism, though'. I think he is better on the ball than that. No...

    Greatest player(s) of all time and other legends

    I only put him in based on career, not ability. Plus I'd get the usual 'you have a pathological hatred of him' from the trolls on here if I did not include him. Your team looks better than mine tbh.

    Aston Villa

    I rate the guy, and he seems a good lad, but it's more proof that being a top professional player doesn't make you knowledegeable, or smart. Not just Ronaldo at 1, but Pogba at 3. He will be a meme pundit in 20 years I am sure :lol: He is a bit of a shooter who flits in and out of games, a...

    Greatest player(s) of all time and other legends

    @soul24rage Thoughts on Greatest Ever XI? Obviously cannot get everyone in. Maybe make Zico replacement for Maradona than Platini. Garrincha and Di Stefano especially out of position but they'd adapt in modern football.

    Arsenal

    On that note, why do teams like outswinging corners? I know they sometimes look sexier with the ball coming back out and someone crashing a header in; inswinging can be more scrappy. But inswinging corners (and often crosses in general) are more of a threat with traveling in the direction of...

    Arsenal

    Yeah they do that all the time. Many of the players start from wider and all advance to the middle or the 6 yard box as the corner comes in. Though I am just looking at the photo and never watched the match, so don't know if they tweaked it this time.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Watched it live. I wouldn't call it a total sitter (though a guy with two good feet like him should be scoring) as he's further out than the penalty spot and he's facing the keeper. It's not like a 6 yard open net. But should still be dispatching it. The finish was a terrible scuff - it would...

    CL game 7: Slavia Prague - Barca

    Have a clearer picture after the games today. There will only be one game left for each team.

    Premier League 25/26

    It's like how Maradona is a football legend, but was average relatively speaking by his own standards at Barca. His name was made at Argentinos Juniors, Boca, Napoli and Argentina. Equally, guys like Beckham and Ferdinand were top players, but never really did it for England (I know some say...

    Manchester United

    Think they're both elite players and complement each other either side. I enjoy watching both fly forward.. I can see why people would prefer either. As great as Mendes is now, a few years ago he was considered a bit of a joke - he was young and still had to develop. At that time Hakimi was...

    CL game 7: Slavia Prague - Barca

    Two wins could very well get the top 8. Might go down to goal difference. I would think 16 points from 24 would be enough, though. It was exactly that last season.

    Gerard Piqué

    Maybe he and Shakira indulged in some scat foreplay.

    Jude Bellingham

    Very presumptuous of you to consider yourself the people who 'know ball' (another American way of talking you're so famous for). You know, given you are clueless and have never played the game, ever. Those posts I made above are beyond your capacity. Like I said, the pitch is the ultimate...

    Jude Bellingham

    I actually opened that, tempt. You know, the masculine, dignified thing to do would be to say to Horatio 'yes man, you are right, I vastly overrated Bellingham and shouldn't have done so, he's a decent player but I went overboard because of his fame and hype off the pitch. Fair play'. That's...

    Jude Bellingham

    'He's him' must be the most embarrassing, cringeworthy, modern fan phrasing I have heard for a long time. I think it originated in basketball so it's another example of American sports and American sports fans infecting football. Kinda like when people compare Ronaldo to 'Brady' or 'Lebron'...

    Manchester United

    Won their Cup Final by hitting on the counter, though they admittedly totally dominated a poorly performing City team (with many players out). Game raising cunts. Just makes the inevitable, guaranteed fall from grace when they fuck up against lesser teams who play low blocks even sweeter. I...

    Jude Bellingham

    Yes. He and Bruno Fernandes are 90s and 00s kick and run 100mph PL type of players. They don't have the good fortune Gerrard and Lampard had to be born into the era that suited their style. They'll continue to be exposed by the current era, in the same way Gerrard would be if he was playing now...

    Jude Bellingham

    Yeah. He's very protected by the media and is never criticised for his all-round game, but then he scores against a weaker team and he's a god again. People thinking he has a god given right to be in the squad and even team for England at the World Cup because he's 'Jude fucking Bellingham' -...

    Jude Bellingham

    I don't rate him much, and think he's an arrogant, delusional, overrated, fraudulent PR merchant who has been made to believe his own hype through his own lack of intelligence and self-reflection, and also by an army of sycophantic fanboys. To me, he represents everything that is wrong with...

    Brahim Diaz

    Why you tagging me? I love football much more than tennis, even though I am starting to hate football too. Tennis is great, but I never watch it, never played it, and it's never been even 0.1 percent as much of my life as football has. You might as well imply that I love snowboarding more than...
