When in Amsterdam last I was more afraid of being ploughed down by a bike than a car. But then that country is off the scale in terms of cycling.

Cycle paths are very common in France and the system works pretty well. Just a pity most people don't know how to drive properly.

Just watched the video shown on Sky when the police decide to shoot the killer. Huge responsibility on those officers, men who don't earn huge wages. We know the British police rarely use firearms unlike their counterparts in most countries. I believe they had to shoot him and I hope they will be ba...

He'll do well to beat Ronaldo's record. People can say what they want about the man from Funchal but he's an unbelievable professional. Yes, he's playing a plastic league but still scoring for Portugal. I'm not sure Haaland will want to play long enough to get near Ronaldo's record.

Apparently Kairat travelled 4,000 miles to play their first match (in Lisbon). Slightly shorter journey for Real.

It's all a bit petty though.

I'm sure most regular posters, myself included, have posted opinions and been wrong.

Everyone was saying Laurent was brilliant against Liverpool. Everyone agreed he did very well against Forest. And after one poor game (where he didn't do much wrong) he's suddenly not good enough. No need to pick him out, there were several players who did worse than him today. Let's not cherry pic...

I don't know about you, or anyone else for that matter, but I think his trolling is reminiscent of ablueclaret.
Anyone remember him/her/it?

Not sure. ablueclaret's English wasn't as good.

We need this. A home defeat will add pressure on Villa.

Having a decent defence and a counter attacking style is what Nuno does best.

We have to hope he doesn't manage to do it there then.

He'll need to coax goals out of Füllkrug and Wilson and sort a defence that has shipped 13 in 5 games.

Can you prove that though, Jakubclaret?

AFAIK he hasn't been on the bench for any of our PL matches. If that's true one can draw one's own conclusions.

Arguably the most famous umpire of all time.

For British fans derbies must be local. In other countries, they sometimes consider games between historic rivals as being akin to derbies irrespective of distance. OM v PSG was turned into a "classic" match back in the early 1990s above all by Canal +, the subscription broadcaster who happened to o...

My West Ham-supporting friend said before the game their win at Forest was a poisoned chalice because it gave Sullivan the chance of not signing any new players. They quibbled over a low fee for England U21 centre-back Charlie Cresswell and the deal fell through. Potter's on a new contract but can't...

Wish there were a way for both Liverpool and Everton to lose.

Now I did think of that and what you said about CR and Messi but both have lead the line at some stage and as Bux said Jimmy Greaves for you could say played # 8 so hard to have it both ways .So if you played as a striker at some time you must be included or the way I see it .

Diago , saw him playing for Argentina twice . For me you need to close this thread he was the greatest player I have ever seen . Hi Tribesman, I didn't mention Maradona because he wasn't a central striker. Like Cruyff, Messi and Pele, he tended to drift around and also play deep. That he was one of...

ecc

Either in the flesh or on TV. I'm excluding players like Cristiano Ronaldo from this category because he was a winger by trade and plays all across the front line. Likewise, I'm not sure how to classify Pele and Cruyff. They tended to move around and play where they felt they could be most effective...

Struggling to see where the defender could have put his arm for Real Madrid's second penalty and winner tonight against lesser club Marseille Totally agree.

Hadn't seen the news. One of Hollywood's most glamarous leading men. I watched "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" again a few months ago. It has stood the test of time well.
