    Kevin De Bruyne

    I rate him very highly and agree he is one of the best midfielders of the last 30 years, but 'more match winning ability than Iniesta'...what extremely big games did De Bruyne match win in? Iniesta has been MOTM in Cl Finals, Euros finals, and scored the winner in the World Cup FInal. Also, you...

    Eric Cantona

    Beckham also was a big reason for their popularity in Asia in late 90s and post 2000 etc. Then Ronaldo added to that. Man U do whore themselves out a lot buy nobody can deny their selling power.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    In three biggest talents/prodigies since Ronaldinho's peak ended in my opinion, alongside Messi and Neymar (other honourable mentions like Iniesta). I don't think that is too controversial to say either. Hopefully he has a long and brilliant career. First of all enjoy being a Spanish champion...

    8 - Pedri

    Fair enough mate. You watch Barca more than me and I like your posts in general. Hence, I will look more closely at him in future and see if I was overrating that aspect of his game.

    Premier League 24/25

    Yes hope he will be ok, internal bleeing is bad but there's a lot medicine can do now. True, not just the assistants either, the refs themselves. A lot of them don't wanna make a decision as they feel VAR will bail them out anyway if they make an error. Which inevitably leads to those errors...

    Premier League 24/25

    Yeah the other Forest player was a mile offside. In those cases common sense should prevail and they should be allowed to just raise the flag, especially when players are bursting through and straining every sinew. That was a horrible collision with the post. I really hope he will be ok. I...

    The Dutch Eredivisie

    Thanks, yeah I consider you the number one comedian on here so I was surprised you didn't get it, lol. Hope you are well anyway, mate.

    The Dutch Eredivisie

    I didn't know about Barney. I looked at the Eredivisie table last night as I was having a gander at how next season's CL is shaping up. I didn't realise there are now 19 teams in the Turkish top flight. Any professional league with an odd number of teams is a mad league. I don't know if you...

    La Liga 24/25

    Raphinha is good at it. Yamal can score from outside the box but more edge of the box than 30 yards. Barca have been like that for a long time now, more a possession team that walk the ball in. Long-range shots are low probability shots generally, but it is a massive weapon when you have a...

    Real Madrid

    Exactly, you just cannot tell, especially these days with make up, hair, plastic surgery, early puberty etc. Like you say he was an idiot, but his age and the girl being ALMOST an adult should be taken into account. Here in the UK it is is legal to have sex with a 16 year old girl, so I don't...

    Serie A

    It's been discussed on here before, but Milan have had the greatest fall of any European giant in the internet era. They have a better excuse than Man United though as their fall conicides with the decline of Serie A and less money coming into the league. But that doesn't let them off the hook...

    Real Madrid

    Yeah guys do a lot of stupid things when they're young. It would be much worse if it was a pre-pusbescent girl. There's a big difference in mental and physical maturity between a 16 year old and a girl under 10. Still not great of course but it seems more like a young guy with more hormones...

    Real Madrid

    He's only young himself, too. His career is just starting and could be over already.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Obviously United deserved to go through, as they had much more clinical edge. But 7-1 really does flatter them from watching both games. I think something like 3 or 4-1 to United on aggregate would be fairer. Four of the seven United goals came in the last 20 minutes of the tie when Athletic...

    Ernesto Valverde

    Yeah they played United off the park for 70 minutes at Old Trafford, but United freshened things up, scored on the night, and the Athletic players' heads dropped. Lindelof really should have been sent off for a shin lunging tackle at 1-0 too. That could have changed everything. United have had...

    Premier League 24/25

    Heard about that last night. Situation could have been avoided apparently (I didn't watch the game). Hopefully he will recover and be safe, horrible to hear about anyone being in a bad way. Really hope he will be fine and back playing soon.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Yeah I would love to see Pedri win it, but unfortunately the award usually goes to an attacker with great goalscoring stats (Messi admittedly was an amazing playmaker too). Modric and Rodri the exceptions over the last 15 years. But in terms of consistent, midfield-controlling performances over...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Bonnie Blue and Lilly Phillips could specialise in recovery for the lads after the games.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    I don't care much about individual awards, but imagine being crowned the best player of the last year when you are only 18, as Yamal might be (and for a body of work when he was 17). That's mad stuff. I know the competition for the award isn't as fierce now, but still incredible for a barely...
