  1. Frank Lampard | New Diary of a CEO interview

    This is profoundly true.
  2. Would you be okay with state or state-backed ownership?

    I think in this instance, yes, the owner would define the club unfortunately. It defines PSG, it defines City.
  3. Would you be okay with state or state-backed ownership?

    If it happens I'm handing my badge back and it's very very painful to say that.
  4. Why is Ruud van Nistelrooy so disrespected?

    Absolute bagsman.
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Well said. I know when someone for us is good when my kopite/city mates never ever mention them. The silence has been deafening on ten Hag because he's clearly excellent and an impending threat.
  6. Frank Lampard | New Diary of a CEO interview

    My Evertonian mates felt the same way as you in this regard but from the outside looking in your football did not seem to improve under Lampard at all and your survival was more to do with Richarlison, Pickford and an incredible home support. The comparison to Ole is unavoidable. At least it...
  7. Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard debate.

    Other than tackling tell me one pure footballing thing that Keane was better at that than Scholes? i.e. no intangibles like heart, desire, leadership etc Really good all round midfielder and obviously a fantastic leader but there are some fans who seriously overestimate Keane's technical abilities.
  8. Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard debate.

    Guardiola recently saying Scholes has ended this debate as far as I'm concerned.
  9. Should Fred be offered a new contract?

    I'm not asking you to give two shits about the Brazil national. I don't either. I'm highlighting to you the nonsense of suggesting that any player in the Championship is at the same level as him. Btw Fred is not an 'attacking midfielder' and I don't think I'm being too pedantic in saying that.
  10. Should Fred be offered a new contract?

    That is absolute guff. So any player in the Championship starts for the Brazil national team?
  11. Should Fred be offered a new contract?

    Of course he should get a new deal. A more solid squad option you will not find.

  13. Frank Lampard | New Diary of a CEO interview

    Agree it's bizarre. A part of I think is because the fans basically appointed Lampard themselves. They made banners and specifically called for the board to give him the job so it's harder for them now to concede that he is crap. Also, there's no obvious person to replace him so facing the...

    Gone by Christmas.
  15. Gary Neville - Pundit

    Hislop took him down a peg and it really wasn't hard as Neville's justification for taking Qatari money ("better to go there and challenge them") has always been total and utter nonsense.
