Heard him on a podcast the other week and basically all his stories involve him going into the changing rooms and trying to fight one of his team mates to get a 'reaction'. 

 

He came across as a right knacker. 

Can't wait for him to be turning up as a pundit to peddle this sort of shit week in, week out.

Young Leicester and England under 18 player out for the season, after one of the worst challenges I’ve seen in a long time. 

 

 

 


Yeah that is horrific. From how high he’s raised his boot and left it in there, there’s deliberate intent to really hurt the player.

 

That Leicester kid has done his ACL and who knows if he’ll ever be the same player after, that could even be his career gone.

 

The Wolves player should be banned for the entire season.

Find this incredible at that level. 

Nasri and Aguero both got banished by Pep for the same thing in the past- it’s probably common at a lot of clubs, depending on tolerances/rules

Craig Gordon broke his leg today. Don't look if squeamish. Probably a career ender most times nevermind at 39. Class career.

Looks like the National League are finally getting a third promotion slot. About time really. Clubs stacking up at the top of that league who are better and bigger than clubs bottom of L2.

Not really. Pep has very strict and precise demands for players weight. Something like a 1kg margin. For example a players ideal weight might be between 80 or 81 kg, anything over or under will be deemed unacceptable.

Just take a shit and don’t drink water for a few hours before the weigh in if it’s only 1kg.

1kg is loads…Aguero got dropped for being 100g over, allegedly….

 

'If your ideal weight is 79-80kg and you were 80 kilos and 100 grams you would be fined and you don't play,' Aguero said.

'But it can happen! You come across a little bit of chicken for example then you are going to be 50 grams over!'

But did Guardiola really banish Aguero, who left Man City having scored 184 Premier League goals, to the bench over 100 grams?

'Well the first season we were between fourth and third and he said I left you out because you turned up fat this week". And what was I going to say? He was right… these things happen.’

One of the greatest goals ever.
 

As for the poster trying to criticize the the football. Football was obviously different back then, balls were different, players didn’t have the greatest technology on everything and theyre playing in the middle of the day at the Azteca at almost 3000m. The world today has clearly come far more along and so has football, but even today you see slow similar tempo when teams play at altitude (watch a Brazil v Bolivia game in Bolivia and the tempo is ridiculous). If some players did what they did back then, imagine what some would achieve in todays football. I’m not from that generation, but social media has really made this world far dumber and less appreciative of the past. 
 

To put it this way, it’s like saying that great inventors or scientists before us were shit because today we have improved and do far better than back then. 
 

*in 30-50 years from now new generations will sit there and laugh while we talk about the greatness of Lionel Messi. Respect the past. And merry christmas!

It's the classic "how would footballers of today perform back then" compared to "how would footballers from back then do with better technology/training, lighter ball & boots and better training".

 

Easy answer is nobody knows.
