I thought it was common consensus that Italy played the best football in the last Euros coming off the back a record winning run. They are not Pep's City but they played some of the best international football in recent times.

Seriously can't remember the last time feeling this good after one of our games. Been so long.

I think it's just the level of predictability they reached that make them understandably boring for some. They seem to be on course for a treble every season and the chances of them being in jeapordy at this stage of the season is almost zero. By...

I take my hat of (before I’ll eat it). I think it’s important as well that the feel and style of playing in Europe is different than that of the PL. It takes getting used to, which is part of why the same teams do well in particular European...

That is definitely what a savvy businessman would do. The best owners in English football past 2 decades though did not run their clubs as savvy business men. They spent what it takes and spared no expenses and projected an image of we're here to...

I really don't think it's specifically a Man Utd fans things but more of a British culture thing and we happen to be one of the last and most British big clubs around. I remember Carragher not too long ago saying the same about Liverpool fans and...

Berrada and Ashworth seem like astute appointments. The Way Ratcliffe talks reeks of pandering populism though and I just have a deep skepticism when it comes to that. He is doing too much of that whole we are this and we are that and these are...

I think the main difference is that Liverpool and especially City back in those years knew their place and had a clear identity. They were plucky underdogs and there was no stigma those days to going out and making it a pure fight. They were made...

They will remain this strong as long as Pep there. After him, they will be back where they were before him under Pellegrini. A very good time but nowhere this fluid and dominant.

You just feel Ange's Spurs will be on this list soon enough. I also have very fond memories of the Chile team that had Zamorano and Salas up top. Two of my favorite partnerships growing up.

How could you make that comparison fairly though? At the time, defenders were allowed and even encouraged to "let them know you're there" or "rough them up a little bit" and we all know what that meant. Defenders were also allowed to just pass...

Two things can be true at the same time: 1. He has been one of our top performers for the last 5 seasons 2. He is the wrong type of #10 for the club to seriously compete He has all the abilities and strengths of a great counter-attacking #10...

Can't argue that really. That's what France did with Mbappé and Argentina with Messi. I am also not onboard with the idea that these players will just play like they do for their clubs when that's a very specific setup that's been worked on for...

I don't disagree with you at all. But I suppose the optimism comes from the feeling that it's their time to kick on. Foden, Grealish, Saka and Bellingham are all on the cusp to take the next step. That's why I think the optimism is justified as...
