I was talking about that yesterday. Obviously it's a good thing that women have better lives now, but they just wanna exploit and abuse the power they have now. Like the American NT asking for parity with wages with the men. It's important that everyone is treated well and respected, but we...

I thought that Dressel was gonna miss out on the top sixteen in the men's 50 m heats there, but he made it I think. Australia were immense in the women's 4 times 200 m freestyle relay heats, they are the favourites and should win gold, but one of the takeovers was extremely close to a...

I have liked Hincapie since I first seen him play. Real quality player who can play LB or CB. He could have a brilliant career.

You'll get there mate :) On topic - more swimming this morning, heats coming up in an hour or two. I will watch them while doing some work from home on my computer. I am gonna miss the swimming when it ends at the weekend, but then the athletics will start. I think I prefer swimming to track...

Is that what you tell the ladies when they ask you to wear a condom?

I am not so sure this one was quite as deserved (don't get mad at me lol). He was brilliant in 2 games though that i watched, not sure about the rest. It's natural though, he's old, and to be fair I can't think of anyone who was better out on the wide right (his 'placing' in the best XI) for...

Just realised that post comes across a bit wankery. My apologies Tyler - you're likely a good guy. I just totally disagree and wanted to explain why. But I could have been a bit less dicky about it. Sorry mate. Overall, It's really an ideological preference. Gerrard's game is far too weighted...

I've picked out your worst comment about Gerrard (and there were a few). He was sometimes excellent when he played as an attacking midfielder (by a mile his best season was in 08-09 behind Torres and in front of Masch and Alonso). He was sometimes good as a RW. He was a positional liability as...

1-0 down against Betis then 'Amad' dives for a penalty, now 3-1 up. Cheating in pre-season - some things never change with this lot.

Firstly, despite me being prickly, you have made some good points that I do acknowledge, and I respect the effort you have gone to to argue your case. It isn't anything personal this debate, I hope I haven't come across as overly abrasive. I just feel you're getting a little carried away with...

What I will say despite the above is that swimming is quickly becoming my second favourite sport after football (though still a very distant second). Something about it is so entertaining, even if it is relatively niche. I also like that there are so many medals up for grabs. I missed Phelps's...

Yeah I rate Grealish but he wasn't as amazing as claimed circa 2021, and he isn't as bad as some people think now. He's pretty good, not amazing, but he has his uses. People point to his stats but his playmaking from wide is generally good for City. Though he does play too safe a lot as...

True, it didn't compare to Benzema but was definitely much better than Haaland's. I'd rate it as a 7.5-8/10 all-round game if Benzema was a 9.5. Haaland's is awful. Probably being harsh on Lewa. He was a good passer and excellent hold-up play.

Yeah I overlooked the Chinese lad, world record too. Well done to the lad. Great for Marchand and Ledecky too. Though as I say it's hard to watch this with the suspicion that plenty of these athletes may be doping. ledecky and Marchand in particular look superhuman. Marchand is destroying...

More good swimming on tonight, including Leon Marchand going for two gold medals and Kyle Chalmers vs David Popovici in the 100 m freestyle.

I dunno you know. I think you're overrating the players. They're not a 'ferrari' at all, that's flattering them - most of them get overrated beyond their abilities. Even if Pep was manager and Southgate wasn't, the English players could never play pass and move the way Spain do. You can tell by...

He was just an example - I didn't actually know he was scoring that little. Tbh I really meant even at his best cos even at his best when he scored a lot he had nowhere near Benzema's all-round game. I just didn't wanna look like I was running prime Lewa down too much.

I said it before, but he's more talented than Foden imo (and Saka for that matter). In fact he's probably the most naturally gifted player England have right now. HIs intelligence, close control, touch and affinity with the ball are top notch.

It's that age-old question isn't it. Is it better to have a guy who will guarantee goals but whose all-round game isn't as good (Haaland, current Lewa), or can you qualitatively be a better team, create more chances, and spread goals around with a more rounded player like Benzema or even...

I'd say the reason he's so ineffective in big games is because his physical advantages and movement - which is what his game revolves around, let's be honest, he's poor technically and in playmaking - are negated against the elite intelligent, physical defenders. Therefore he can't bully guys...
