    Europa League

    That's be fair his run causes the chaos which made the goal. I know what you mean tho

    Manchester United

    Disappointing that Cunha looks certain to be joining. He's a player I do rate. Hopefully he turns rubbish like a lot of other players have in the past when going there.

    Europa League

    Spurs have their first choice back 5 all fit and starting (and hopefully will remain so during the match). That could be huge. Maddison and Kulu are massive misses but they still are much more athletic than United in midfield. Edit: Ugarte on bench. I was really hoping he would start. I think...

    Europa League

    I don't particularly like Tottenham or anything but United are my most hated team. They could be lining up against a team with Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Genghis Khan, Ted Bundy etc playing for them and I would still want United to lose.

    Premier League 24/25

    Only about 5 points outside the top 10 or so in the world on Superbru, so technically I could still make it in on the last day. As for the actual football, still 5 teams in with a shout of CL football. Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa all level on 66 points. I expect City to make it - even if they...

    Just seen this. Very very good (it's technically a tortoise but still very good).

    Really pathetic that grown men act that way for no reason whatsoever.

    :lol: I know you are taking the piss but he actually is a lot better looking than CR, lol. :lol:

    24/25 Season awards

    Yeah Lamine, with pedri not far behind. From what i have seen though I think Kounde is a solid, dependable if unspectacular player (CDR winner aside lol). I get wanting more attacking threat from full-back (not that he doesn't offer some), but think he offers a balance of tucking in sometimes...

    Absolute morons to behave in that manner.

    Pavel Nedved

    Hahaha aye mate. I was just looking at legends threads and reminiscing about players from my childhood, hence bumping threads like his and Suker's.

    Like with video game graphics, we are reaching diminishing returns in human fitness in stuff, including football. How much further can a team or player really run over 90 minutes? If at some point 95 percent of players are athletic pressing monsters, you wonder if the game will look back to...

    Franck Ribéry

    Bit harsh, he is ugly but he was involved in a car accident as a boy. Though he'd likely still be ugly if he hadn't been.

    Mane Garrincha

    I know IniestaGOAT mocks me for rating him so highly due to apparent poor quality of 50s and 60s football (according to some), but he really was a very special player from research. Insane dribbler, no real understanding of rules, stipulations etc. I read that he didn't even know what...

    Davor Suker

    Best Croatia player ever (yeah I know they only started in the early 90s) until a certain Luka Modric. Or maybe Prosinecki, who knows. Lots of career highlights but that chip against Schmeichel (one of the best goalkeepers in the world) at Hillsborough (I believe it was) at Euro 96 was...

    Pavel Nedved

    Lucky man. Scores on and off the pitch. He was one of my favourite players in his heyday. He could score goals, buzz about and put in hard work, great shot, good passer, and just generally was a livewire of a player. He was incredible ay Euro 2004 and it's still a real shame the Czechs didn't...

    Franck Ribéry

    The guy was a genius - been watching some videos of him randomly and had forgotten how effortless and easy on the eye his dribbling was. Underrated passer too. He and Robben is one of the deadliest wing double acts in history. Others would include Messi and Neymar, Beckham/Kanchelskis and...

    Kevin De Bruyne

    Anyway thanks for the respectful, civil (albeit mostly indirect) conversation. I have an early start tomorrow so I am gonna shower then sleep. Been a fun conversation and you have made some good points and given food for thought (even if I disagree with some points). Goodnight.

    Kevin De Bruyne

    Yes, I seen a fair bit of Matthaus in the 90s (though already a bit past his peak) and for me he's in the top two midfielders I have watched with Xavi. He could also man mark players and do really well defensively - Maradona called him his toughest opponent across his career, which is as high a...

    Kevin De Bruyne

    That's fair points you made about City and I tend to agree with a lot of it. I understand your point about Xavi and Iniesta, but we can only judge on what did happen, not hypotheticals. Xavi was still an excellent player pre 2008, even if he hadn't yet his GOAT standard. Iniesta was still only...
