I can't wait for the All-Star game where Jack Colback gets nominated as a joke contender and makes the grade due to fan voting a la John Scott.

You'll eventually learn to love the All Star game, it'll be a spectacle. School kids having their brains taken out with assault weapons isn’t really our idea of half time entertainment tbh.

Crossbar Challenge, free kick contest, and all star game sounds way better than the charity shield. Look how much fun the players are having here. That was class.

Nolberto Disco Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Embarrassing really. Ronaldo/Zlatan are still forcing a career in the game. EPIC SKILLS CHALLENGE = get to fuck I Edited September 16, 2022 by Nolberto Disco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 jesus that's grim like. Noone ever doubted nani had skills but there are plenty of skill merchants around but the real great players are ones who, and i hate to sound like a pfm, but could be kicked for 90mins and still dazzle. Nani was good but a pale imitation of, and i hate to say it, ronaldos first stint at man u. of course he can pull off some cool tricks on command it's utterly irrelevant to the sport.

Astroblack Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) Distinctly remember that game. Nani scored and was the best player for Man U on the day. and Kobe, Jordan and Lebron all participated in a dunk contest at one point or another during their careers. I think they all won, too. No one is bigger a cross bar challenge. i’d have an all star weekend to open up the Premier League. Give it some pomp and circumstance. Saturday - Skill, shooting contests, Sunday - all star game played between the best 32 player's from the previous season or chosen by coaches across the league. The build up and opening to the PL is kind of anti climactic. It’s kind of like “It’s here, remember the Premier League? Well it’s back” unless you’ve been reading the gossip and keeping tabs on player moves, you’re kind of out of the loop and league is a mystery. I wouldn’t mind a teaser. Why not have a little display on what could be up for offer the coming season? Edited September 17, 2022 by Astroblack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started sometime after the American colonisation and revolution so the Americans kept on saying it the way we used to. It's similar to Fall for Autumn. We changed, Americans didn't. Whereas Laaaaaaandanas drop the 'h' on every other word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
