Cracking goal by Northern Ireland.

I feel so out of touch with England. Every time I’ve seen Rice in the past he’s looked mediocre. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I’m keeping football at arm’s length, but wanted to share this. My wife’s a Villa fan. We met in Birmingham the night before the New Year’s Day match 2008 (Spurs lost). Spurs lost the next match too, while we were engaged and preparing to move to the US. We got married in Jan 2009. Since then, Spurs’ record against Villa in all competitions is P20, W16, D3, L1. I’m almost sorry for her. Almost.

They were both first team full backs for almost all of their time here? Presume he wanted them to stay for longer.

It does seem bizarre that after the recent awful run you’re still two points clear of the relegation zone with a game in hand. You’ve not been in the bottom three all year - is that right?

Yup, thought he looked great tbh. I still get a twinge of sadness every time this thread is bumped, mind.

All right, here's a Spurs one: GK; Pat Jennings - N. Ireland RB; Stephen Carr - Ireland CB; Richard Gough - Scotland CB; Toby Alderweireld - Belgium LB; Gareth Bale - Wales RM; Son Heung-Min - Korea CM; Ossie Ardiles - Argentina CM; Luka Modric - Croatia LM; David Ginola - France ST; Dimitar Berbatov - Bulgaria ST; Jurgen Klinsmann - Germany Sub1; Erik Thorstvedt - Norway Sub2; Hoddle/Waddle/Gazza/Kane/King/Campbell/whoever Sub3; Christian Eriksen - Denmark Sub4; Rafael Van Der Vaart - Netherlands Sub5; Gylfi Sigurdsson - Iceland Sub6; Sergio Reguilon - Spain Sub7; Adebayor (Togo)/BAE (Cameroon)/Palacios (Honduras) Tough to choose one Frenchman. Went for Ginola, but you could put Lloris in, push Bale to LW, and have Reguilon/BAE behind him.

I mean, Man U would have had two penalties for that.

That is a really weird decision not to give a penalty. VAR is a thing in this, right?

Barca, PSG, Real etc etc.

Fantasy Football? Ha nope, not interested enough to do it this season. I just think Mahrez is class, love watching him. Yeah, likewise on the FF. I almost want this Super League thing to happen so I can just completely fuck football off for good.

Fantasy Football?

Laughed far too loudly .

Without the knee issues I genuinely think he might have been one of the best centre-backs we have ever seen. I still rate him above Sol Campbell. I agree that there is a tendency to rate Ledley higher than his performances merited because people make allowances for his injuries, but he was still routinely brilliant.

Not yet IMO Been in the Premier League a bit longer than Ronaldo, although played marginally fewer games.

Always had a soft spot for Saint and Greavsie, primarily because my Dad idolized Greaves as a kid.

Nice find, thanks.

Yep close this down until August. Close this down until the next loss tbh when the other half are on here giving 10s. I presume it’s different people, can probably go back and see if there’s any intersection .

Dunno man, if you're saying Lewis is in the combined team that sounds a bit spurious .

I’d argue that it is different, but I’ve had that discussion a million times in my lifetime and it’s just not worth the effort any more.

Because ultimately he chokes?

All this said, and I know you’re shite and devoid of confidence, but I reckon the Blades and West Brom are done. That means it’s probably you, Fulham, Burnley and Brighton fighting over one place. You’re still 7pts ahead of Fulham, and if they lose their next two (Brighton and West Brom, both away) then they might just be fucked.

Just as easy as that isn't it. We paid similar for Bruno to what you paid for Joelinton. Little bit more to it than the cost of the team surely? Yeah, the wages.

Really interested in having it fail, obviously.
