Tuchel bottled that, surely. His experience with Chelski against Real in the quarters two years ago is still haunting him. That night two years ago was a 'one-off' that proceeded to happen again to Sh#tty in the semis. This time around he actively invited lightning to strike for the third time. Fro...

Came here to say this Kane has just as much talent around him. Musiala is about as good a young playmaking Mid as there is How many assists does he have in the farmer's league this season? City's squad cost over double bayern's. Just thrifty Germans? Or a squad set up to feed haaland with chances i...

I assumed it was a Gen Z reference from a Boomer. Like a rotary phone or cursive writing. Sheesh, you can't on the one hand mock boomers then go full American. :lol: I was speaking to a boomer and an American, you have to meet them where they are. I want to know how that thigh is?

But would it be too much to ask for this putative singer who could actually sing - and had two normal eyes in his head?

You know he was miming?

Paul McCartney and John Lennon were in the cupboard.

Sotutu vs Iose

Iose reminds me of one of those wind-up toy cars I had as a kid.... wind em up and let him loose....

Surely the answer is a floating national stadium! That way it will be unaffected by rising sea levels and can also be taken around NZ so that matches can take place at different locations.. That's a fantastic idea. :thumbup: We should call it Athletic Park. With a stiff southerly blowing, Petone wi...

Grandpa

Melbourne has good public transit though Yup they need to upgrade the infra along with the stadium and get Auckland set up for the next 100 years. In 100 years, Northland will be the fourth major island and anything on the waterfront will be 5 metres beneath low tide. Eden Park will be closer to th...

I think the Blues will win. Defence

Did you say final?

Grandpa

I hope it's a good game. Who are the 3 outstanding players (however defined) for the Blues side, that I should watch out for? As a Hurricanes fan, I'm still re-familiarising myself with the players in the other NZ teams. Future All Blacks Ricky Ricketelli, Taufa Funaki and Harry Plummer spring to m...

Grandpa

Well he's miles ahead as a player. But yes, the service he gets at bayern is a fraction of what haaland receives. Offset of course by the quality of opposition. I'd like to see Haaland at Forest. Is he any better than Chris Wood? Similar type players for me. One dimensional. Wood probably not quite...

Grandpa

Who doubted Haaland for golden boot then? Roy Keane! I hope Cole Palmer scores ten next match. Crazy figures for a midfielder in a crap team. Keane never said anything about haaland's goalscoring ability. Stop trying to ruin a good story :lol: Still think Kane would score as many at City and is a b...

Grandpa

Sadly it looks that way. I also think Fulham have a better chance of taking points off City than Spurs. Spurs look uncertain at the moment. Were very poor against Liverpool... but at home against City, you never know. Fulham are also a possible banana skin... but it's hard to see City slipping up n...

Grandpa

I see Barcelona want Nunez. :shock: To remain in perpetual mediocrity? Probably play him as a winger... he's no Lewandoski replacement. I wonder what they're willing to pay. Seem to be a lot of outlets reporting this... and Nunez has deleted all his Liverpool pics from his Instagram... maybe Slot w...

There's not a lot of encouragement in City's remaining fixtures. Silva is 12 for 12 losses against Pep iirc. Spurs ship goals for fun and West Ham have one foot on the beach. You never know, but it would take something out of the ordinary. And West Ham have a new manager. Maybe the players will bea...

Odd for a team that says it 'out of respect to the other team', it doesn't seem to have been mentioned to Tonga or Romania....

I hope Arsenal don't end up doing a Liverpool.. winning their last ten matches and still losing out to City by one point. It's all up to Spurs to do Arsenal a favour.. Sadly it looks that way.

Italy said it to NZ after the group game. It's a well known compliment going back to when I was a kid...

Grandpa

I love Keane... my favourite pundit. Probably the only person that can get away with calling Haaland "almost league 2 level".

His podcast with Neville, Wright and Carragher is well worth watching each week.

What an odd refereeing performance. "You're on a warning" "....except for high tackles for some reason." "And now it's been a while so you're on a warning again." Warning at 50:50. Second warning at 64:15. So does a warning have a 10 minute expiry? Since when? Clear as mud. Apparently "release" mea...

Ricketelli is on his way to the Dane Coles Award. What is the Dane Coles award? Gobbing off? Get the yips. Missing 23 lineout throws in a single game.
