  1. Top Four Race 2018/19

    Chelsea will be 5th or 6th, but doesn‘t matter for them because they will win the Europa and get UCL qualification. United to get the other place outside of top 4. Arsenal are consistent at beating lower placed teams and Spurs have generally been excellent this season, except for the last few...
  2. Ole Gunnar Solskjær | 2021/22 Discussion

    The squad is not the 5th best squad in England, more like the 4th or 3rd best. Mustafi is starting games for Arsenal ffs Regardless, the squad is easily good enough to not lose 2 matches in a row against Wolves. Very poor by Ole. An upset can happen once in a while, but looks like he has been...
  3. Paul Pogba is the best midfielder in the world

    There are just some players who are more consistent. Not even with the amount of good games, but with the consistency during a single match. Even if Pogba has like 1 Goal 1 assist in a match, he loses the ball many times and takes the wrong decision. The likes of Eriksen, Veratti etc are more...
  4. Mo Salah

    :lol: He says he doesn‘t care, only to try to shape public opinion by saying how he‘s practically on par with Aguero. He clearly cares a lot about his goal tally and the perception of him. Someone should give him a snickers.
  5. Man Utd set to appoint Director of Football (when hell freezes over)

    Feels like Utd is refusing to get someone in who is on the front foot of modern football‘s tactical evolution. If Poch had been the next manager, it might have been okay to find an internal solution for DoF since he has the required tactical nous to produce a sustainable playing style up to par...
  6. Mo Salah

    Seems like he wants to be the big face of Liverpool‘s success, similar to Ronaldo at RM, Griezmann at Atletico etc. He was often talked about in Ballon D‘Or conversations last season and if he wants to get there again, he needs to be the star by a huge margin (see Griezmann in 2016) and not just...
  7. Who's on your Mount Rushmore in Football?

    Pele, Maradona and Messi are ahead of everyone else. The last spot is between Cruyff and Zidane for me. Zidane is the more recent choice and Cruyff is the idealistic one.
  8. 737 Max - Boeing grounds the fleet after second crash | Production temporarily suspended

    I always thought the „corporate media“ angle was blown way out of proportion. Then I see shit like this, where an amercian news outlet makes it look like the african airline is at fault and not the american company who build the failing plane. What a disgrace.
  9. Internationals March (Euro Qualifiers + Friendlies)

    Finally revenge for the stolen points in the nations league. I'm not saying it was completely undeserving back then etc., it was more just two very mediocre sides against each other and I didn't buy Netherlands being a great side again. Just like this doesn't mean Germany is back. Feels like no...
  10. Internationals March (Euro Qualifiers + Friendlies)

    Big quality coming from the bench. Reus and Gundogan are quality players.
  11. The Mueller Report

    This is a huge victory for Trump and the GOP. At some point, it looked like the Mueller investigation bothered Trump more than anything else. Now it is little more than a footnote in history.
  12. Internationals March (Euro Qualifiers + Friendlies)

    I know it‘s the popular thing to say at the moment that the German NT will be shit for years, but there is some serious talent in that side. Sane is on course to be one of the best attackers of the next generation and Gnabry will never be world class, but he‘s very useful because he does a lot...
  13. Film The Redcafe Movie review thread

    22 Jump Street The "just like last time" jokes were done one too many times and the credits were not as funny as they thought they were, but otherwise it was excellent. One of the better comedies of this time, Tatum and Hill belong to the best comedic actors out there right now. 7,5/10 Rain Man...
  14. Maurizio Sarri's Sack Watch | And Now Our Watch Has Ended

    I see a lot of similarities with Mourinho‘s first season at United and a lot depends on the europa league. If he wins it or loses the final on pens, he‘s safe I guess. If Chelsea finish 6th and they go out to Frankfurt / Benfica in the semi‘s looking awful, he could be in danger. That‘s very...
  15. Film Captain Marvel

    Yeah at this point it is sensible thing to do to trust the Russo brothers to get the power balance right. Remember Vision in Age of Ultron? He was easily the most powerful character there, but in Civil War and Infinity War they found ways to limit his powers and make him mortal. They also found...
