I think he point was that they're not comparable mate!
I always moan about this to my wife. Never see kids just playing footie in the street or even on the fields anymore! I live by a load of fields and they're always empty. When I drive back past my childhood home, I never seen kids on the big field there. Its all fenced off now but nothing a good old jack couldn't bend a decent hole in...
…life has changed, Murph, too much for kids to do sitting in their bedrooms.
We have to tap into those African markets, so many of the players we’re linked with started in the likes of the Senegal league and we should get them at source.
i fear Academy football is a bit purile, clubs make parents feel like they are doing a favour taking their sons and it doesn’t breed attitude.

It's funny, because even when we had Nintendo as kids (on this side of the pond) we were also out wrecking one another playing tackle football, basketball and street hockey more or less every day that it wasn't raining. It was definitely tackle football if it was snowing, where I grew up. (Being this country, we played 'football' only when we had practice or a match scheduled.)

Yeah I grew up with N64, Gameboy, xbox, etc but we still played pickup basketball/football most days (soccer with pratices/games). Mainly gamed at night, bad weather, etc

Tough conditions = greatness.
Music. Art. You name it.
I reckon deli alli has memory foam carpets.
It's the only explanation.

I wouldn't go quite that far on the gaming - there were plenty of nice days where somebody had a new game on original Nintendo or PC - but it was never what we did all afternoon.
There was also a game whose rules were very much the city I grew up in, but whose rules I can't fully explain without setting off the profanity filter.

These lads used to literally play in a field with a samba goal at the bottom of my road every single night for about 5 or 6 years. Just lads enjoying kick around with there mates

No when it comes to music and the arts, but the general point holds when it comes to sports. I grew up in areas you would likely call 'posh', and we were never as tough as the kids from the rougher neighborhoods, no matter how hard we tried. We were smarter, and sometimes that made the difference, but when it came to competing at the absolute highest levels it was never quite enough.
That said, Kobe Bryant came out of similar areas to mine, whatever he tried to claim over the years. Lower Merion is far from the straight up 'hood. IIRC, Tim Duncan was the child of two doctors in the Virgin Islands. Then there's Nicklaus, Jack and Woods, Tiger.
Growing up rough is not a prerequisite. It does tend to confer an advantage in sports. There are also ways to compensate, if you're talented enough.

The greatest music often comes from the greatest tragedy / trauma.
Leave my theory alone, posh-ass ?

Have to admit, that second line is about as quality a refutation as I will ever encounter. It admits me no purchase. /respect

Can’t leave Iwobi out at the minute as he’s been our best player the last 10 games or so
