It's one thing to have an elite manager but he can only manage who Brands buys in and with the likes of the Nathan Ake's of this world always opting for the Man City's of this world then he will always be managing second tier players unless something drastically changes in the world of sport and...

No one will even remember this result in a couple of months time. It's fairly well irrelevant. Will we make top four? Unlikely. Do we want to be in the Europa League next season? I'm not so sure that we do. The important thing is how much better the players appear to be playing under Carlo...

Gooooooooooooooallllllllll! I've seen a good few comments on GOT recently about Richarlison's lack of footballing ability. Hopefully that will put an end to them for a bit. Perhaps even a full 24 hours if we're lucky.

Imagine if we'd got Ancelotti in before Koeman. All that wasted time and money...

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I've spent a fair bit of time on various football forums down the years (first online in 1993). Usually just to have a bit of a nose about when something big kicks off and to get fan reaction (as you do). GOT truly stands out as something special. I'll not get too mushy but the humour and...

Are you a sports scientist with a PHD? If so I bow to your greater knowledge. There's going to be a way for me to establish the fact that some EPL players are pampered wimps for being tired from playing for 90 minutes every few days and it if cannot involve comparisons to hill walking and/or...

Please don't. I've got a feeling that the nose would be cut off and a toilet seat would be hung over one of the arms pretty quickly. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50892046 Right I'll eff off and stop dragging the thread off topic...

Okay I'm pretty new around here and I didn't realise we weren't allowed to compare other sports to football when trying to establish whether the majority of footballers are absolute lightweights or not.

I was using Spain as an example. I've hill walked all over Europe but mainly in the UK for 15 - 20 years so I'm probably in a good position to compare a prolonged period of that activity to football. You do realise that hills/mountains go up the way and are often covered in large rocks and dirt...

Thanks for the measured reply. My post wasn't meant to be arrogant in any way. I'm more confused by it than anything else. Basically just that have been an amateur punter sportsman not on £100,000 a week and I struggle to get my head round tiredness from a game in the EPL once every so often...

I've played football. I've played football for amateur teams and my school back in the day. Have you ever played football and/or hill walked? I'm not talking about slowly walking up a little hill in the Lakes here. I'm talking banging up full on mountains in the Sierra Nevada. At the top...
