Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thre

Sterling :blush: That was quite incredible. A single moment sent them out. He worked so hard to try and dispel the myth that he couldn’t finish but in 4 seconds he has undone all that work and more His career might not recover from that, it was that bad I could have scored it and I'm absolutely shi...

Re: Was the 2019 loss to ENG actually the worst AB RWC choke

Far too much was made of the preparation and performance of the game against Ireland . Whilst they had had some good results against the AB’s recently they were most definitely on the slide . England not having to play a potentially dangerous France created the perfect storm . It was a cracker perf...

Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thre

Would it be unfair to say Pep is the best in the world at managing a team of flat track bullies? They're excellent at pumping mid table and relegation fodder teams 4-0 but when the chips are down against the elite clubs they're often found wanting. Not just at City, Bayern were the same.

FFP was broken, it just fell outside of the "prosecution time" for the offense, I believe. I disagree that FFP stops smaller clubs from breaking into the elite. Instead it prevents any club who doesn't have a billionaire owner from ever competing. How can a medium size club like Newcastle or Villa e...

Finishing third isn't a memorable achievement but it still keeps up the illusion of being a top club and helps with attracting better quality signings.

I really cant see Arsenal getting anywhere near top 4 next year, unless they have a good transfer window and keep Aubameyang.
