triggs Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Ronaldo was s**** in the Champions League Final too Messi was just as bad in the semis which people seem to forget. I know. I'd give it to Griezmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Doc Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I know Steve Bruce's books have been mentioned here before, but this is a glorious review of the third in the tribology. http://thesetpieces.com/features/defender-steve-bruce-review/ Cheers BlueStar, had me crying that mate, I wish i could read the trilogy.

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I can't see it being Griezmann. He didn't win anything either and although he was consistent, didn't play to the same level as Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, or Neymar of the La Liga players imo. He didn't score as many, hardly assisted, was never once player of the month, and wasn't in the La Liga team of the season. That's obviously not the be-all-and-end-all and he's a very good player who had a great season, but if it's not one of the usual two, I can't see beyond Suarez if it's a La Liga player.

Did well in most of the big games though which is what I would largely be judging it on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I know Steve Bruce's books have been mentioned here before, but this is a glorious review of the third in the tribology. http://thesetpieces.com/features/defender-steve-bruce-review/ In absolute tears reading this paragraph to my housemate, couldn't even finish it: To put all this in context, in their combined 240-page length, the two previous books contained numerous murders, multiple shoot-outs, a punch-up in a drug den, five kidnappings, two large-scale police investigations, an active anti-terror operation, Yugoslavian war criminals (of whom, one is revealed to have faked his death and then dies AGAIN two pages later), some Israeli Nazi-hunters from whom Barnes escape via sliding tackle and – my personal favourite – a vengeful sniper who shoots a football from under Steve Barnes’ foot while our hero is standing in the technical area DURING A GAME.

joeyt Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Can't believe I've not heard of Bruce's books and those reviews, all 3 reviews are brilliantly written. One of my favourite bits is an Israeli woman who kidnaps 'Steve Barnes' blowing her cover because she got asked who her favourite footballer was and she immediately said 'Eyal Berkovic' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
