  1. Vincent Kompany gets sculpture and a road named after him by City

    Kompany as City captain: four league titles, four League Cups and one FA Cup (including domestic treble). Was at the club for 11 seasons and captained it for 8 of them. That would make him a legend at any club in England.

    The honours system is a load of bollocks anyway. Scrap it all.
  3. England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)

    It's kind of interesting really. Before he went to Leicester, big teams looked at him and decided not to sign him, a year later the same thing happens. Southgate looks at him and doesn't give him a cap. Alarm bells would be going off in Souness's head if the lad was a few shades darker.
  4. England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)

    Honestly, if he was half as good as he's billed to be he wouldn't be at Leicester right now (and would be able to get on the pitch for England).
  5. England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)

    Nah, Eriksen scored 10 and assisted 12 in his first season at Spurs despite playing the majority of the season on the left of a flat midfield four. Maddison's stats are inferior even though he played a more offensive role. He's been the superior player by far at every stage of his career.
  6. England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)

    Saying Maddison is better than Eriksen pretty much invalidates any opinion you may have on the guy tbh. It's Rashford > Mbappe levels of delusion.
  7. England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)

    Yeah, I don't even think Mount and Maddison are in direct competition with one another. One is in the squad primarily to score goals and the other is there to create. It's like comparing Lampard with Beckham.
  8. England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)

    Yeah, the way Southgate sets up he doesn't require creative midfielders. The England midfield's job is essentially to keep the ball and win it back quickly to unleash Sterling and Sancho. Someone like Maddison will probably end up being a plan B for when sides don't push forward enough to allow...
  9. England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)

    He's been playing on the left for most of the end of last season and the start of this. He did have a spell playing as one of the two more advanced midfielders for Leicester in the early part of the year but the idea that he's been really hard done by not to be playing for England there doesn't...
  10. England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)

    It’s almost as if the guy who has coached both players and followed them through the England under-age systems he oversees during the past six years might have a more informed opinion on how each of them might fit into his set-up more than some gobshite from TalkSport.
  11. England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)

    Maddison’s tactic of getting a sleeve tattoo, a wanker haircut and the shittest attempt at growing a beard since Adam Lallana to convince people he’s a better footballer than he is has been really successful on this forum.
  12. Declan Rice

    Yeah, he played well apart from one lazy pass.
  13. Teemu Eino Antero Pukki

    Especially if you speak Tagalog.
