You probably think that's actually it, as you didn't watch it.


Good to see the English teams progressing and well done to all ... but now the competition really starts ... time to stand up and be counted![]()

2 more rounds and I can plaster the badges of 7 other clubs into my sig

Important for a one man teamIf he was still really injured I don’t think MP would play him. He’s far too important to us to take a silly risk with.
A striker like Kane needs every bit of his match sharpness. It’s the difference between scoring and not.

I think it's rival fans that need to calm down. We drew a game away at Sevilla and have to win at home vs Spartak. Nothing's broken. Yet.The Spirit of Istanbul
Has that been used already this evening?

World Class?Hardly.
But he’s a world class striker and, you know, that’s what strikers are paid to do - score goals.


Edit: Only Spud fans think he is but everybody else knows he isn't.I know you don’t like it,...but yeah, he is...

I think we can agree that all world class players play for big successful clubs, i.e. Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Ronaldo, Griezmann, Lewandowski, Kante, Neuer, Marcello just to name a few. Kane plays for a small unsuccessful club therefore by the concenus of popular opinion you appear to be talking out of your rectum.You mean you refuse to believe he is...which in your book counts as ‘everybody’

Who he plays for is irrelevant - well, to everybody but you, anyway. Griezmann plays for a team 4th in La Liga, 10 pts behind the leaders. Does that mean he’s no longer world class?
There doesn’t have to be a limit on the numbers of world class strikers. Yes, Suarez, Ronaldo, Griezmann are world class strikers. But so is Kane..
Kane’s an outstanding striker. His finishing ability is ridiculous.
