Hi superdimitri. Re. your observation: "Mostly if a player goes out on loan he's considered not good enough." It's true you say "mostly" but I think it depends on what the club's policy is and I'm not sure I understand what said policy is. I really cannot see certain players who were out on loan las...

His uncle, Bertrand, was also a pro. but didn't really live up to his promise.

All three of them started at Montpellier although Laurent and Bertrand were both born on Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean.

With every England game in the group I got the impression they would have won more easily had they played the same opponents in qualifiers and/or friendlies. Germany was the first game when they really performed well (IMHO). That said, had Muller's shot in the 81st minute been a few inches more accu...

Great first-half. Excellent football played at a breakneck pace. Second-half inevitably less frenetic as Italy looked to hold on to their lead. Three of the main pre-tournament favourites gone (France, Portugal and Belgium).

"I still find it weird that the FL end up having to appeal against what are in effect their own decisions not being upheld."

It's happened before, hasn't it Tony? Can't remember which club it was.

Shearer was a very good PL striker but not in Lewandowski's league (and that's not because he played for who he did).

Hi cfc:

"Ironically Ronaldo and Messi I still dont see as strikers yet they have a better goalscoring record than any striker!"

I see it like that, above all Messi.

Over 400 apparently. He played a season in the old Second Division with Wrexham - now that does seem a long time ago - managed by a former Claret.

Wrexham have been out of the EFL for 13 years (after 87 seasons in the League). That's a long time.

ecc

Just checked and it was Mel Pejic, his younger brother, who played for Wrexham and Hereford.

They had to be related with a surname like that.

With all due respect to everybody trying to understand the whole thing, I would suggest it's not comprehensible to anybody. Not even Franz Kafka would be able to work this scenario out.

Just seen the goal. As said above, excellent pass and finish. Ramsey's a class player as, of course, is Bale when he's up for it.

Have just got in and found out the news.

My thoughts and prayers are with Christian Eriksen and his family.

Thanks Tony. I know I walked off...unhappy.

Hi Ashington,

You are spot on here. I, for my sins, have a very good friend who supports them. Yes, I AM a very good person.

Hello all, Been meaning to ask Tony and indeed anyone who can remember. I was up in Burnley that summer (1991) and attended a pre-season friendly against Bury. At least, I think it was 1991. We lost but I can't recall the score. I seem to remember David Lee playing.On checking he moved to Southampto...

It was a surprise to more or less everybody in France but he's had a magnificent season for Real and deserves to be called up for sporting reasons.

As for the legal proceedings, this case won't be settled for another five years the way things are over here.

Hello ClaretAndJew,

Yes, totally agree. Excellent series.

Hello claretcrav,

Many thanks for the link which works fine. Splendid memorial.

I find it staggering that nobody has started a D-Day thread. It is not political in my humble opinion but instead our duty to remember those unbelievably brave men who sacrified their own lives to save those of millions of people of their own generation and future generations. Is it really too much ...

I still believe in Jay. Many don't and I respect their opinion but I still believe in the lad.

Zaha is still one of the fastest players in the PL. The problem with him is he only makes an effort when he feels like it. Which, despite his perennial wanting away combined with Palace's demand in terms of a fee, is why he's still at SP.

Tom Heaton repeatedly thanked BM for helping him improve.

How many players do Villa want to have?

ecc

I adored Pirlo as a player. One of the best players I've ever seen. However, it seemed a bad decision on the part of both the club and him. No management experience but that didn't seem to deter Agnelli.

AP will need to start again maybe in Serie B and learn the trade.

"Hellish rebuilding job but plenty of money"

I'm not up to speed on Palace's financial situation but seems to me like they've only spent circa. £20m in the last two seasons.

Looks like that, Chester.

Keeper Maignan is bound for Milan (done deal).

Boubakary Soumaré is reportedly close to signing for Leicester

Sven Botman, highly rated young CB signed from Ajax, linked with ESL MUPLC.

Jonathan Ikoné linked with Dortmund.

Roma interested in Renato Sanches

Simeone is often said to be the highest paid manager in the world. If it's not him it will be Guardiola.

As for Tripps speaking Spanish, I haven't got a clue. However, he typifies a "Simeone player". He only wants defenders who will run into a brick wall.

Brentford v Bournemouth (0-1 first match)

Hello everyone,

Thank you Rileybobs, Herts and everybody else. I really appreciate you replying to my question. It provides food for thought and a debate. For me that is one of the reasons for a forum like this to exist. I will look again at the goals with everybody's comments in mind.

ecc

I'm not looking for an argument (there are enough people doing that already) but I would genuinely like to read opinions on what exactly Norris did wrong or what he should have done for each goal.

I ask because there ARE people on here who know far more than me about goalkeeping.

ecc

I don't know why but I was convinced a certain person would be involved in an argument on here. Virtually all of that person's contributions involve bickering.
