Re: Maradona or Messi?

As much as I dislike what he did. Maradona is be far the biggest inspiration for me. Background, talent, just mercurial. Messi he’s awesome but let’s not forget he had growth hormone pumped into him to enable to realise that ridiculous talent. For me that’s a nah

Re: Fixtures March 29th- 4th April

My love has gone. This is not the game it was ever meant to be. And that’s not just directed at Arsenal, it’s just everything. Yes we won today but the only talking point will be the Wolves disallowed goal, kids should never have got so involved with the game with their silly technology and acceptan...

Re: England -v- Brazil & then -v- Belgium

I never understand why anyone from the UK(assumption not withstanding) would prefer to see a Polish team for example, qualify over a 'British' team Because as a 54yo I’ve spent the majority of my youth wanting them to win and do well and all I’ve ever heard back is I hate England and want them to l...

The closest thing England have to Mo Salah.
Unfortunately Garath is likely to see him as the closest thing we have to Mo Molam

Re: England -v- Brazil & then -v- Belgium

lol. Maddison consistently doing everything to make himself look good and failing then gets the assist. Couldn’t make it up. Bowen and Bellingham link up play was really encouraging. Guess that will be easily overlooked now

Re: West Ham Utd v Bournemouth - Match Thread

Easily the worst team performance I’ve seen in years. Disjointed, no purpose, no real threat. And I’m on the positive side of the argument. I dread to think how others feel

Re: Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool (non WHU!)

I really don’t get what’s wrong with talking about another teams manager. He’s class with a bit of sh*thousery. Personally in think it’s a deliberate ploy to deflect the media from the Kalvin Phillips signing, the egotistical c*nt :winker:

Re: ✍ Welcome Kurt Zouma

I feel gutted for him tbh. Always gives everything, is tactically exceptional, but in those incisive moments nowadays he isn’t able to recover. I saw his knees start to give out on him a while ago, for him and us that is devastating. He’s very difficult to replace
