Maldini is the greatest defender of all time IMO

IMO

Baresi was better

Are the likes of Messi ,Ronaldo x 2 Pele Maradonna etc etc any better players going forward 

than the likes of Maldini, Baresi Moore etc are at defending

Spot on. Plus Mount must have something on GS. WTF was he not off at HT, let alone still there at the end. 

Agree with you on that

Fwiw I had a quick look at XG.

Had Spain winning 3.49-0. About double then.

Argentina and Germany both win on XG, interesting to see how it diverges. 

How many points do they get for that then?

Proves XG is a total waste of time and means nothing

Its REAL goals that count

Yes in this situation it's the Vat bias and not Argentina's cheating I agree. But that does hide the fact Argentina with Italy y are the biggest cheats in the game . Which is proberly a different thread 

Sorry but they are no worse than every other team

Only my OPINION (Not a fact!!!)

I'd rather experience semi finals and finals, than going out in group stages.

The Euro's semi final I had a fabulous night out with my mates that will stay with me for the rest of my life. 

I agree with you on that

but the fact is Losing those games wins you nothing

Aside from a World Cup semi final, and a Euro's final. Aside from being the most successful manager since Alf Ramsey. You have some odd opinions on "proper managers".

What do you get for losing a semi or a final Nothing

Nice to see him get over the line

That we’ll be in Europe in five seasons. We all believed that . 
 

Was that around the same time as Marvin Brown being a future £10m player (when £10m could get you a Top Top player not just a bang average one)

Well we did cheap tickets for the Sunderland game and nobody views them as a small club, it's probably because it close to Christmas.

Nobody?

Ask a Newcastle fan 

Winner - Portugal

Golden Boot - Benzema

England - QF

Goes to show how small a club Bristol City are seen as, when other clubs offer cheap tickets to their own supporters 

Sturridge was everything thats wrong with so many modern footballers

Looked ok (at best) when things were going well

but was nowhere to be seen the second the going gets tough 

70 odd career goals sums him up Bang average

Talking of pens

I see James Tavernier scored his 47th !!!! pen for Rangers today

Thats  47 in 250 odd games over 7 seasons

Big clubs with big crowds get more pens Simple Refs bottle it

Obviously Malan was missing but think we need another of his like around the team, Brook has the potential but I'm not sure on Livingstone at international level will ever be anything more than a 30 off 17 type

Yeah im not a big fan of Livingstone

Bit of a flat track bully 

Gets found out very easy by better bowlers

Young players have ups and downs 

Simple as that

Nothing to worry about

And i'm bored of folks not understanding that we have a small number players eating up the majority of the wage bill. And THAT is why we can't bring in new faces and that is why the squad is imbalanced and we're inconsistent.

Those are the facts.

True. I want Pearson to succeed, but I'm flabbergasted why he can inspire the team to play attractive attacking football against the likes of Blackburn and Norwich, then revert to a clueless mess against Reading, Birmingham and Millwall. 

 

More to do with the players than NP
