  1. Is Southgate underrated by the CAF?

    Is TheBatman Southgate? That post is legendary. Completely ignores that the main ingredient of success is the squad at their disposal. Southgate has been carried by a massively talented squad, alongside a few great players, some nice tournament draws, and finally with the fact there’s not a huge...
  2. Jean-Clair Todibo

    I couldn’t read in after you compared Rio to Carra and Souness to Sir Alex. They’ve never been compared on the same level in my memory.
  3. Jadon Sancho | 2023/24 Performances | Dortmund (loan)

    VDB £40 in 2020 Mata £37 2014 Jones £16m 2011 These players were a lot of money for their time. They weren’t some random bargain. Phil Jones transfer was huge for a relative unknown youngster.
  4. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    Well that’s really where the justice system comes in. It takes the opinions of mere mortals such as you or I, both of whose opinions on this relationship are likely true or untrue in equal parts, and puts it beyond reasonable doubt. At which point societal, contractual and ultimately penal...
  5. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    No, those who are not convicted are not guilty.
  6. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    Happy for you to just quote the sentence I wrote in full: “withdrew her evidence and claims and decided to raise a child and marry him”
  7. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said. I just stick to my point about those opinions being formed from an isolated social media post. Yes they’ve said nothing and that could be a red flag. Or it could be a family which wants to move on from a terrible and possibly isolated incident that was...
  8. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    He wasn’t let off on a technicality. The prosecution withdrew their case due to a lack of evidence. Primarily because his girlfriend, the victim, withdrew her evidence and claims and decided to raise a child and marry him. Your last sentence is precisely the issue I have with the whole...
  9. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    Agree with your comments around clubs having some moral standards. They should ultimately be a stalwart of the local community and wider society. My issue in this case is with the trial by social media and the lack of any fair and reasoned trial in a court of law. Whilst I’ve no doubt that there...
  10. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    Difference is nobody outside Utd gives a feck about the Glaziers. Plenty of people have an opinion on Mason though. I’m not saying that’s right, I believe he should come back. He won’t though
  11. How good was Prime Shevchenko?

    He was class. Hilarious that someone thinks Del Piero was better.
  12. Alejandro Garnacho | 2022/23 Performances

    Agree with this.He must be looking around and seeing minutes being earned ahead of him from Sancho/Anthony as a massive frustration to say the least. I kind of understand Anthony as he’s a workhorse too, but don’t get Sancho being ahead of him. Was great today when he came on. Gave us a bit to...
  13. Should footballers wear helmets?

    Sorry but your post is confusing! Are you for or against helmets in football? I think the reasons there is little discussion around this are two fold. 1. It would completely change and likely ruin the game. Headering the ball with a helmet would be a bullet. It would also mean aerial battles...
  14. World XI of players who are/were 30+ and still/were at their peak

    Pavel Nedved was pretty class into his 30’s. Picked up a ballon d’or at 31.
