  1. Messi's next club: place your bets!

    I don't know. What I can assume is that it makes no difference because the rules aren't made to be easy to bypass. If Messi runs down his contract, then a couple of days later signs a new one which is supposed to be completely unconnected to the previous one, that's a mockery and it's not the...
  2. Predict the top 6 in order. 2021/22.

    1. Liverpool 2. Man City 3. Chelsea 4. Man Utd 5. Leicester 6. Not Arsenal
  3. Barcelona: Charged with corruption .... again!

    You'd actually help us by signing two of our best players and the only reasons to actually feel optimistic about watching a Barça match, That's how bad it is.
  4. Messi's next club: place your bets!

    I think there are a lot of extremes suggested here and a lot of conspiracy theories. I don't think Messi was kept in the dark, and I don't think there was a bomb with the audit that took everyone by surprise. Let's be realistic here, we're talking about a huge club and the richest player on...
  5. Florentino Perez leaked comments

    Florentino sounds like Trump because it was made public. He said in private the things Trump says right in front of the camera, while making faces. This is good for a laugh, but I think it's normal that these things are said over the course of many years, you have a lot of heated moments, lost...
  6. FIFA are considering new football rules

    The pauses we have would remain obviously, but with less pressure to continue play immediately as you'd remove the danger of being booked for wasting time. This would evolve into longer pauses, like water breaks, time-outs etc., as the first step would be to normalize the idea of the clock being...
  7. FIFA are considering new football rules

    This is coming from the same place as the Super League, and I don't mean the rule changes themselves, but the motivation behind it. It's just a cash grab. Like others have said, the first problem here is that there really aren't any major flaws in the sport that need fixing. It's fine the way...
  8. Jean-Clair Todibo

    I wouldn’t put too much stock in us not rating Todibo. It’s true we have more insight than others, but it’s also true we’re a mess so I don’t really have faith in the manager and staff recognizing talent. Todibo had a fantastic game last night.
  9. La Liga 2019/20

    Great goal by Suarez, I didn’t see anything like it. There were some great backheel goals, but none that were scored in that way. Messi again stole the show though, he casually scored that hat trick like it was in a training session. It was an all-around good and entertaining game by Barça, but...
  10. Messi v Ronaldo | Contains double your daily salt allowance

    It is a misconception that moving to another club necessarily means moving out of your comfort zone. This all depends on what defines your comfort zone. Regarding Ronaldo’s move to Juventus, I can see why he did it. What are the three things you could want as a 33-year old player? Knowing...
  11. Ballon D’or 2019: who will win it? (Alleged leak: Messi 1, Van Dijk 2, Salah 3).

    The team is excellent on paper, all of that is well and good and nobody in their right mind is claiming we have poor players in general. The problem is how those players are managed, and the rot begins with the head. The management reeks of incompetence and cowardice and this is, through...
  12. Cristiano Ronaldo : The Juventus Chapter | Fin

    Sarri is clueless and the fact Ronaldo’s playing for Juventus is actually weighing the player down...
  13. Lionel Messi

    True. Messi is also ageing, but I think he's maintaining his level and even improving on it, while Ronaldo is declining. This isn't odd, since a lot of Ronaldo's game is based on his physical attributes as he used his speed, strength and explosiveness to dominate defenders. Losing that over the...
  14. Lionel Messi

    I see your point, but I disagree. The game does use a formula alright, and it’s one that sees Ronaldo as close to Messi as possible. The attributes you list are impossible to be topped by one player, as great heading and jumping requires height, which in turn compromises agility, balance and...
  15. Lionel Messi

    Fair enough, but this raises the question of Ronaldo’s ranking, should be much much lower then.
