It was incredibly reckless and dangerous play. Nothing manly about that nonsense at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why sometimes you'll hear players in a sport say this is the Big Leagues, or a Grown Man's game. Think there was even a manager that said you'll never win with a bunch of kids. Carney should have replied " if it's a man's game why do they roll about like spoilt children when someone just looks at them ?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souness and the like go back to the era of Keys and Gray who regularly took the piss out of women. Shes in a different space when its the likes of Richards on with her. I’d rather listen to her talk football than the two cretins sat beside her today. One is obviously anti women and anti anything not man and the other is a massive spitting cunt who spat on some poor teenage lass! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a fair point too. To be honest a lot of the behaviours in the game are very childish. The back in the day angry shouty player running around charging into players recklessly is childish, as is the current day falling about all the time nonsense. Souness thinks his days were more 'manly' but I completely disagree. At least nowadays players are less likely to suffer serious injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at his house going through the stuff he’d saved on the TV and there was loads of Spurs. Next door neighbor offered me a ticket whenever I wanted it, I just…it felt like the right thing to do. Made a decision to come back…for now. The local supporters club meet at a brewery in Akron so went there today. I missed the start, but thought Chelsea looked really good. Cucurella looked great. Their shape was better, pressing was further up the pitch, full-backs were far more comfortable on the ball. Second Chelsea goal was given away early in the move. Biggest difference between the teams all game was at full back, but happily the biggest difference right at the end was that Spurs had a couple of proper forwards. And finally made a corner (or two) work. You are ok. Time heals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, KaKa said: You really don't want players playing with anger. It is a lack of emotional self control and is a liability. Anger is not akin to toughness or commitment like a lot of these old school guys think it is. Classic Souness. It's almost like Souness' constant baying for aggression probably aided two of his own players getting sent off for fighting each other and not taking it to the opposition. I'd say how the man still has a valid voice in football is beyond me, but he's just one of many to feel that way about. Utter cretin. Am I mad or didn't someone post on here once that they met him on holiday and when they mentioned they were an NUFC fan he immediately went sheepish and couldn't even maintain eye contact in shame? So if I'm not imagining that, he's all bluster too, the fucking bottle job. Edited August 14, 2022 by wormy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I'm a caveman and don't want women pundits or officials in mens football. In saying that i would never be of the opinion that women shouldn't be able to, that's fine it's just my preference as a hairy beast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Brave Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Conte would batter Tuchel, lots of body shots, in close not letting Tuchel in. It would end in round 6 or 7. No re-match as Conte would go for the heavy weight managers champion..steve bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
