  1. I think it's good that another player in that team won it. 4 CL's in 3 years and only one player wins the top solo award. It's an all-time great TEAM.
  2. Saw Messi at home when they lost to Valencia a few years back. I bring it up often because I feel honoured. He scored a pen. Went on a brilliant last second run where he narrowly missed. Had he scored I would’ve burst into flames
  3. The correct answer was both. Went Pedro because Murray put me sligthly over budget.
  4. Will make 1 sub. Pedro in. Or Murray in. Also likely to start Kante. Will wildcard after internationals regardless. What do you guys think?
  5. I don't blame the players or the manager here. You voice your concerns strongly. You get dropped. Next time you learn to take it better.
  6. Aye. Did it a few times last season and got rocked each and every time.
  7. Benteke used to be so good. He scored 42 league goals in 89 games for Villa. 49 in 101 overall. He got 15 league goals in his first season for Palace. But from last year and this.... he's been absolutely terrible.
  8. Same. Doucoure reminds me a bit of vieira and Hughes and perrrya are very decent too. Really like Doucoure. Has real ability. Can pick a good pass, scores goals and really competes in midfield.
  9. Aye, the best fullback at our club is still Paully D. I like Dummett but that is dreadful like.
  10. Still wish he would look for simple passes more often.
  11. Agreed, those should be red cards. Intentionally stopping counter-attacks when not even trying to go for the ball. The issue with Arter's - with the rules as they are - is that he's kicked him shin/knee high - no attempt made for the ball - from behind. That's dangerous and a red even by today's rules. Based on the rules, I can understand pulling back from the shoulders just being yellow. But sliding from behind and kneecapping someone to stop a counter is too far. If facing head on a player running at you, you can't just kick their shins/knee to stop them and not get a red. From behind is even worse but most refs let it slide.
  12. Prime Bolasie was much better than anything we have. Maybe the injury has done him.
  13. Think Messi’s too consistent in league play, could definitely see them winning the CL though Aye look how good Real and Atletico have been the last 10 years. I think Real have gone to the CL semi's 8 years in a row. Between Atleti and Real, they've taken the league off Barca a combined 3 times in that period iirc. And when Barca haven't won it, they've pushed the others pretty close. One of the few times Mole is talking sense he's copying my post.
  14. I’ve calmed down a bit now but this was without a doubt one of the all time bad performances in the Premier League. A game statistically that bad is extremely rare so you can see why this was justified. Jesus thats some nonsense youre spouting. Aye he was crap yesterday, but flair players like Kenedy are going to have crap games. They're going to have gmaes where nothing goes right, they're off the pace and they cant produce. Thats the way it goes, especially with inexperienced players. After his performance and the free kick just before, he should have been nowhere near the pen. You could see his head was gone. Im not sure why he was taking it anyway. Aside from that, I still think hes one of our best players. So much so that I dont think we'll be able to afford him next season. He's still raw, but he's got a lot about him. I dont agree that he's 'selfish or greedy' either, its just a case of running himself into trouble and not realizing the ball quick enough, but that'll come as he gets better. Not making a successful pass in a whole half of football is some shit like.
  15. A bad a performance you will see in Some time. Mind you Hayden were terrible too.
  16. Think Messi’s too consistent in league play, could definitely see them winning the CL though Aye look how good Real and Atletico have been the last 10 years.

  17. Of course they can. But Barcelona are pretty surgical in the league. Always get 85 points. I don't think Iniesta is as a big a loss as it sounds. This convo about Ramos taking penalties is showing their ignorance. He's been second choice penalty taker for a number of years. He was on freekicks the year they won La Decima after they won the semi's and pretty much rested Ronaldo until the final.
  18. No way is anyone saving the 3rd. With Zizou.... this doesn't slip mind. Florentino needs to open the purse man. Went from James not making the bench to bringing on Mayoral.
