  1. What have they said? 'Absolute confusion in Newcastle's defence' Almost identical in their defence: *tumbleweed* When has it been like that in their defence?
  2. Knockaert's done more already than he did in the games last season
  3. Love that photo like It's like when Man City won the league in the last minute in terms of celebration
  4. I think he's class and gets held to a higher standard than other players because of his body language
  5. Messi famously never scored hat tricks under Pep
  6. It won't matter if he's in Ligue 1 if he's winning the Champions League and winning things with Brazil
  7. Even if that happens I doubt it, it's a popularity award. To use an example one of Ronaldo's came in the year Bayern won the treble and Madrid went trophyless. Bayern didn't have a star man though. They just had loads of brilliant players but no one superstar
  8. If PSG win the champions league and Brazil the world cup Neymar will probably win the Ballon D'or
  9. Would love to be at that protest in Barcelona when that result comes through
  10. Everybody go watch Mertens goal just now
  11. It would suggest he was just coming back from injury and clubs didn't want to take the risk. Hope he does well there after a good start last night Why would Rafa want him gone then? I would think he knows Krul's situation better than most here. Probably doesn't rate him. Good managers can get some things wrong

  13. I don't even think Sissoko is good. My argument has always been that he tried his best for us and he just isn't that good
  14. Said it before but the use of stats in football, bar goals (and assists to a degree), is a clear sign that someone knows absolutely nothing about the sport. Sky are attempting to force us to adopt the American model of relying on nothing other than meaningless statistics. That's just not true. There might be too much importance placed on them, but statistics in context are a very strong method of analysis, and can give insights into less glamorous aspects of the game that are just as important. Distance covered, passing accuracy, key chances created, tackles. All important descriptive statistics if used properly and in context. Key chances created is probably the main one used that gets on me tits. Utter bobbins. Well that's just because Sissoko used to get really high chances created numbers and it didn't tie in with your views Not at all, I've been fairly consistent in my hatred of shite stats. They certainly weren't needed to confirm Sissoko was shite, despite your protestations. This is about the chances created stat. You dismissed it because Sissoko was good at it. By the way you didn't think Sissoko was shit. You thought that if only he tried he'd be the best player of all time
  15. Same with most dispossessed players. Neymar is number 1 in Europe this season and think Messi is up there too

  17. Did really well apparently. Maybe he's not utterly shit then
