Keegan was European Footballer of the Year and England captain when he went to midtable Southampton from Hamburg. That was in 1980 mind Edit - Maradona to Napoli was another one.

I was going to reply to your post earlier but my brain wasn't working, then I saw this just now. Interesting post that I agree with. This is the issue imo, the game was built when 442 was the only formation being played and your selection choices are built accordingly (you have that many of each player in each position, plus one spare). It's difficult to know how to classify these countless wide players and they appear to be struggling with it. If they continue doing this and only out and out centre forwards are categorised as forwards then 3 forwards in your squad is overkill imo, and they should give you an extra midfielder instead.

TIL Alan Shearer is still England captain.

Yeah, this is just the beginning.

How exciting.

Pfffft you reckon?! So fkn safe man, joeyt.

Shite defending though I'd have bought that dummy tbh, 100% thought Suarez was going to try to curl it into the far post.

Amazing dummy that like.

Howay Barca, make it interesting

Inject this match into my veins

7-1

Fuck's going on with Neymar?

This could be the best European game since the restart, the way it's started.

Didn't realise Traore ran from not far outside his own box before he won that pen, christ

Please say 99 or less.

Not so sure Kane should be overlooked so easily. He's had one period last season where his goalscoring form was a bit patchy and that's it. Constant goals of all type other than that. He lives in an age where forwards are expected to be super mobile and able to do everything whereas the others weren't. Drogba was a level below those 2 imo, certainly as a goalscorer.

Shearer and Bellamy Henry and Bergkamp Petit and Vieira Keane and Scholes

I was gonna say he must have a gag lined up or else "Hello I'm Steven Bytheway from Walkergate" is a bit underwhelming.

People went mad over these at the world cup a couple of years ago:

What annoys me is that the test is nonsense if the scope of it can be changed at will, yet not applied retrospectively. How can they entertain lobbying from competitor clubs for our takeover when there was no such pressure on the likes of Man City and Chelsea when theirs went through?

Was voted for by the clubs. Unfortunately the top 6 clubs only get 1 vote each, for the time being.

Richard Masters has finally checked his emails after a few days procrastinating...

Can we get Captain Tom involved?

On a free. Willian, Willian - it was really nothing.

Jesus, an actual tory and a ref. Imagine the patter.
