    Premier League 24/25

    They're clueless, and have been for years. These INEOS chancers are another in the long list of potential failures (as well as their main man being a horrible Brexiteer Tory who pumps poison into the atmosphere and steps on others). They haven't exactly done much at Nice, have they? I rate...

    Premier League 24/25

    Read this online, sums up my feelings on De Ligt. Yes, he's much younger, but he's another bigger club's cast off like Casemiro and Varane were. Ultimately if he were that good he'd be in the Bayern team, wouldn't he? I don't get how people think it's a good thing signing someone who isn't even...

    Premier League 24/25

    I don't rate either of them, especially not De Ligt. Nobody else seems to want him (maybe wages and fee) and Bayern can't wait to get rid of him, it's hardly an endorsement. He never impresses me when I watch him either - he's very much someone whose reputation is far bigger than his actual...

    Euro 2024

    Good videos. Lol at Ronaldo's long as fuck neck - he does look like a giraffe with that comically long neck in real life.

    Thiago Alcantara sold to Bayern for 25 million euros

    Yeah a big shame. He started well at Liverpool, but like you say couldn't sustain it for long with the energy Liverpool play at. He had a good career, but still another in the very long list of 'what might have beens' in football.

    8 - Pedri

    Is he injury prone, or is it because he was so overplayed when young and still growing, and now he cannot cope and his body is paying the price? Still a real shame to see this continue to happen to a very talented player.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Bellingham being shorter than the likes of Xhaka, Gakpo and Ruiz sums up the insane hype around him. Mbappe shouldn't even be on the list. I assume they're there as they're still active in the tournament so could do something big in the semis and/or final.

    Has Player Quality Declined?

    I'm still conflicted. Past players did seem much more talented. However, the game is more coordinated now and there's less space generally due to the high-press - you generally have to earn your right to find space in the game now. It sounds like sacrilege but was it a big advantage for players...

    Jude Bellingham

    I think the thing about Beckham is he was never as great as his fanboys think, but hardcore football fans underrate him too by thinking he was just a celebrity. He's an attention-seeking imbecile, but as you say he was a very good player with a great right foot (though he tried to showcase that...

    Thiago Alcantara sold to Bayern for 25 million euros

    Destroyed by injuries. It's a shame - he was a very talented individual when coming through at Barcelona. He won a lot at Bayern but he never became the dominating midfielder he was tipped to be. Truth be told, he might have been a little overrated in the young days, but he was definitely killed...

    Euro 2024

    Early predictions. Either 2-1 Spain AET or penalties - can't decide. Netherlands 1-2 England AET.

    Jude Bellingham

    Seen this post online. I hate Beckham but must say I agree with it: 'Beckham was overrated and underrated in equal measure. Bellingham is just overrated, I’d take Beckham over him every day of the week and twice on a Sunday.' Also, his arrogance at thinking he is above being subbed (even...

    Endrick

    He will look a lot better (unfortunately) in a functional Real Madrid side than this bad Brazil team I expect.

    Wrestling

    Thanks, he is the best. Love the ankle lock and his general ability. Quite funny on the mic too. Also, a tough bastard, though apparently nowhere near as tough as his older brother Mark. Did you know that Jon Bernthal (Shane from the Walking Dead and the Punisher) is Angle's nephew in law? He's...

    Fantasy Sports

    Yeah I play FPL, Champions League Fantasy and fantasy games for international tournaments. I don't play for money or anything like that though - I am pretty casual about it and when it comes to transfers I don't spend much time thinking about it. Towards the end of last season FPL ran a Beta...

    Wrestling

    The guy is a psychopath. Anyway, I don't follow wrestling anymore and haven't for years (though shoot interviews where they all talk garbage about each other can be funny). I went to a couple of live shows in Glasgow in 2006, and one in Edinburgh in 2005. I would say my favourite professional...

    Raphael Varane

    If he's going to Miami now he can finally say he played with a top three player of all time:messi:

    Copa América 2024

    Yeah by great game I meant it will be a war of attrition with tackles flying everywhere, should be entertaining lol.

    Copa América 2024

    Everyone seems to have disappeared. Anyway, congrats to Uruguay for winning the shootout. I fancy Colombia to make the final but should be a great game and one hell of an encounter.

    Has Player Quality Declined?

    I think that players seem to have had the fear of God coached into them. They're terrified of making mistakes. The big comeback of the high press 15 years ago might account for a lot of it; one of the most difficult things to do in football is to keep the ball under pressure or when a man or...
