Who were the nominations for the last world player of the year?

Saves, PSDT, Dupont, Eben... And ?

Grandpa

If Arteta over the next five years.. wins the Premier League and Champions League... While going close to more of each on other occasions.. Will Arsenal fans be unhappy?

Grandpa

They paid £68m for Alisson, £75m for VVD and £85m for Nunez. Get me a violin Coutinho money. Since Liverpool won the league City have spent considerably more but they've also sold considerably more so the net difference is only £70m. I'm not comparing them to dodgyx115 City. But Liverpool have hard...

One league title One European cup A couple of Coca Cola cups An FA Cup We will truly never see Klopps like again The truth is he was probably robbed of multiple league titles by Man City's BS rule breaking and financial doping. They paid £68m for Alisson, £75m for VVD and £85m for Nunez. Get me a v...

Grandpa

One league title One European cup A couple of Coca Cola cups An FA Cup We will truly never see Klopps like again More about what he's done for the club than trophies. If he'd just won the league title and nothing else it would have been enough. Unlike any coach since Shankly he was bigger than the ...

Think Rooney spoke a lot of sense tonight about a lot of the Liverpool players probably being anxious about their own future under a new manager. And perhaps it was a mistake for Klopp to announce he was leaving back in January. But Klopp had to announce the decision to leave as it was about to be ...

Grandpa

The change in Germany in the last two years is staggering. We've gone from a naive, reckless, borderline suicidal peacemongering, to Kriegstüchtigteit . Two weeks ago Pistorius announced the re-establishment of the German General Staff (under a new name) for the first time since 1945, and just toda...

Fitting that Klopp is helping the city of Liverpool to keep two teams in the Premier League.

They would be mad, Moyes has done a solid job at West Ham, including a european trophy. They are only a spot or two lower than last season after selling Rice. Hen Haag's CV prior to Ajax isn't particularly impressive. Moyes has come out and said he has been offered a new contract... but hasn't sign...

Grandpa

When he was on that Panel Show.. Would I Lie to You...

Sorry, just thinking aloud.

Grandpa

Thanks. Makes sense.

Well done Punter. Lived up to your name!

Grandpa

How does the scoring work? Is it just using the players place number as a score?

Or is it weighted so more higher picks compensates for lower picks? So picking players that miss the cut don't penalise you as much as players near the top help you?

Grandpa

Ten Haag is toast West Ham might snap him up... they like ex Manchester managers... But Ten Hag looked good at Ajax... so any manager from outside the Premier League is a risk...

I thought this was quite informative by 2 cents rugby a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. Was interesting.

So at club level, League trumps Union...

But at international level, Union trumps League...

Didn't they decide on Scheffler?

Grandpa

So Liverpool are going for Ten Hag 2.00... Arne Slot.

Interesting. I see Spurs were after him a year ago..

Meh... he's more of a Rueben Thorne type player... i.e.. a workhorse than a game winner.
That can run like a back... hardly Reuben like..
.
...but what are his bag handling skillz like, huh?

He always handles with care does Dalton Wilbury.

It's all relative isn't it. He's one of the best of who is available currently... and not too old... Then again. Ten Haag looked pretty good too...

I know he's highly rated but it's not like his Sporting team is romping to the title season after season: 20-21 - 1st 21-22 - 2nd 22-23 - 4th 23-24 - 1st (currently) Still overachieving. Overachieving? A 4th place in a 3-team league. Sensational. I'd take two 1st places in 4 years. Obviously West H...

Is he that good? If he joins Liverpool.. he better be! If he joins West Ham... who cares! He does look good though... not just one season either... and plays positive football.

Less’go! Hearing de Zerbi is the preferred choice at Liverpool. I hope not. But Hughes seems to like him. Not exactly data driven if it is him.

In the Premier League that's a red card... or yellow at best. Off his feet two footed studs into his leg... And ref doesn't even blow for a foul... That was a leg breaker.

Antony as well. 0 goals, 0 shots, 0 assists, 0 dribbles completed, 0 crosses, lost 100% of his aerial duals…. And he’s doing the “can’t hear you” sign to the Cov players after the shootout….

They are pure banter at the moment. The state of Fernandes and Onana trash talking Championship players during the shootout after hanging on in the game by a toenail.

Forest not happy with VAR I see... I think they definitely deserved one penalty... the other two... 50-50 Frodder - is it more fun supporting Forest when they are near the top of the Championship, or when fighting relegation in the Premier league?

Grace not good enough at the moment, from a Sader perspective, Blackadder hopefully come 's back from injury. Ioane still to soft for test matches, So'tutu hopefully, Papali'i & Jacobsen not at International standard. Frizzell will be missed. Bigger issues are 4,5,,9,10 & 15. When Dalton had a run ...
