Flex seems to pop up everywhere and gets more media jobs than most. Always on sky.
I’m 25, don’t group me in with these kinds of people. More like 20 or younger.Klopp better than Fergie because of erm ….the Sport Science! I swear every month I see a debate like this and someone mentions “sports science”..
Sums up the 25 year old or younger football fan though. Kind of person who thinks football became good in 2008 and before then we were in the stone ages with football. Tactics weren’t a thing, nobody could run and all players were drunks.
Tsk. They played mere 4-4-2 in the past. Bunch of cavemen.Klopp better than Fergie because of erm ….the Sport Science! I swear every month I see a debate like this and someone mentions “sports science”..

I think cos he’s quite safe and presentable. You never catch flex having a meltdown or slagging players off like a lot of these other lads.Flex seems to pop up everywhere and gets more media jobs than most. Always on sky.
hmm.. not sure. I mean you weren’t alive at the start of the treble seasonI’m 25, don’t group me in with these kinds of people. More like 20 or younger.
Haha yeah that old chestnut. Like Fergie wasn’t playing Scholesy in the hole in the early noughties.Tsk. They played mere 4-4-2 in the past. Bunch of cavemen.
You ever heard of Talksport?Because a lot of the influencers post deliberately provocative and controversial tripe that gets clicked, shared and saturates social media.
Because Jenas, Dixon and Souness have actually kicked a ball for bigger teams than the Dog & Duck Sunday Morning FC.What the difference between listening to someone like Goldbridge or Chunkz, to some of absolute rubbish that is spouted by the likes of Jenas, Dixon, Souness and the like.
Yeah. They now employ some of these chancers.You ever heard of Talksport?
Only Fans, Only Facts.We have to listen, or at least watch on mute, Jenas, Sounness etc. because they will be on the channel of the game we are watching. I don't think anyone listens to them out of choice when there's no game involved? I didn't even realise a 'watch along' was a thing until someone told me that's what Goldbridge does, it honestly boggles my mind that is popular but maybe I'm just old.
Issue here isn't football specific, masses of people will listen to whichever source of information has the most drama and 'hot' takes, if some bloke started a fan channel with only factual information and clear and concise arguments they'd get zero interest. in the same way the ITK aggregators have become minor celebrities, people just want to consume info, and most don't really care if it's true or not.
Yeah was pleased to see Howson highlight itESPNFC definitely needs a former United player on their panel. They are so biased against us and have no clue what they are talking about.
You didn’t read my post.Because Jenas, Dixon and Souness have actually kicked a ball for bigger teams than the Dog & Duck Sunday Morning FC.
My issue with that lot is that increasingly they are trying to be like the influencers. Carragher acts like a Liverpool fan channel, Neville shouts and moans like he's Goldbridge and Keane goes on more rants than AFTV now.Nah they're alright. Better than listening to the mainstream media full of ex Liverpool and United players who are too worried to say anything controversial or give their honest opinions.
I do agree. Yes though, players at least in England/Scotland were much bigger drinkers and less fit pre 2000, tactics were less complicated and more predictable. The point is, you still had to be the best of the best to succeed as a player or manager. Similar to 'best player of all time' debates, younger folk dismiss the likes of Maradona, Best, Brazil Ronaldo and others just on numbers. Those guys were butchered and ok, they were relatively unmanageable loons. If you dropped them into modern football though, just starting out, with all the protection they'd get on and off the pitch, I have no doubt they'd be on Messi/Ronaldo type levels, definitely much bigger numbers.Klopp better than Fergie because of erm ….the Sport Science!

I like himBeen watching a few HITC Sevens videos lately, think he's called Alfie? Harsh to mention him in this thread because he's not ruining anything, but I can't make up my mind if I like his stuff or not.
Covers some interesting topics on his youtube channel. I like long-form videos and his usually last 1/2 an hour which is another positive but I feel he could have taken 5-10 minutes to say what he did in 30 at times. Not all of the time though.
Has a peculiar speech pattern, emphasizing random words and pausing at odd times mid-sentence for no reason at all while reading his script which can be distracting to the point I've stopped watching once or twice. I saw an interview with him and he talks completely differently on that - sounds normal.
They are good, as is the Palace bloke HLTCO but they're not the type of people I really made the thread about. More the influencers who make click-baity content whether that is thumbnails, buzzword or otherwise. HITC and HLTCO are people who clearly meticulously research and prepare their content.Been watching a few HITC Sevens videos lately, think he's called Alfie?
