Unlike those saintly English players who never dive, feign injury, or ask for yellow cards... It's true that English players behave in this way now too. However, diving/play-acting is definitely a South American import to the European and English game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Let me settle this… Lampard was in the top 2% of English midfielders of his era. His goal scoring was especially commendable. He was a great premier league footballer As a manager he’s done nothing and I’d liken him being given the Chelsea/Everton jobs to LJ getting the Bristol City job. Absolutely nothing to justify it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest I have got was Anfield in 94. It's high on my agenda before it is bulldozed. Looks like I may be in the away end! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 If they come down they will be absolutely desperate to get back, there is no way they can afford to fall so far behind Liverpool and the 2 Manchester clubs. They will be losing a lot of names anyway, they can wave goodbye to the new ground as well I expect, they could be in for some very tough years.

If Everton go down, there will only be 5 left from the 20th Century. 1 Arsenal (1919/20) 2. Liverpool (1962/63) 3. Manchester United (1975/76) 4. Tottenham (1978/79) 5. Chelsea (1989/90) Next on the list would be: 6. Manchester City (2002/03) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 I don't particularly like Lampard, although he was a very fine player (FWIW). But I find it hard to dislike Everton, having met a few of their lot in my time. Always pretty respectful, no big time Charlies. Oddly enough, same goes for 'real' (i.e. Scouse) Liverpool fans. The plastic ones are another matter... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted just now it’s foreign thing. Loads of European players do it as do the Latino’s. Some cultures are more expressive and use hand gestures more while talking, that and language differences are probably the reason you see foreign players do it more.

That’s complete nonsense Marcus - ‘street craft’ as they see it is part of that culture. They see conning the referee as fair game whereas we see it a downright cheating. Simeone was the perfect example and he’s now encourages his teams to act in the same way and other European managers hate that style. Pep was brilliant post match after they’d beaten them when he said ‘I have nothing to say’……………. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
