    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...

    CL Round 3: Barca - Bayern 4-1

    Did you watch Bayern every week? It's doubtful. Unnecessary comment. Also, YouTube videos are designed to only show the good parts of a player's ability, and omit the poor. Nevertheless, I never disputed he had a very good all-round game. My main point is that his passing was never as...

    Premier League 24/25

    A decent, but not amazing weekend in PL prediction, thanks to a few exacts. Would have had four exacts had I not altered Man U Brentford from 2-1 to 1-2, no idea why I change sometimes. Especially with them as every time I back them to lose they win, and vice-versa.

    CL Round 3: Barca - Bayern 4-1

    One world-class forward recognising another. I do think Kane has more to his game but that's because I am partial to strikers who drop deep, link play and pass out to wingers. And Kane is one of the very best passing number 9s I have seen.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    It doesn't matter which team it is for, but I dislike stuttered run-ups at penalties. It's cheating in a way because the goalkeeper moves then you put it where he isn't in general. So many players do it but I don't think it should be permitted. It was even happening before 2000. But maybe I am...

    Argentina

    Great reaction there. Messi has such an ability to glide and make everything look so effortless. It looked there like he was playing so cutely and everyone else was really trying.
