Nah players want to play in worls cups mate it'll have effect that

Why wouldn't I?

 

@Peej and don't forget the takeover is getting close

 

I think you also have to take into account the **** pitches they played on back then. Also the fact that defenders were allowed to kick chunks out of them. The balls today are a lot lighter and the pitches are like carpets. I would say that the players today are a lot fitter.

 

The game's a lot quicker, too. It's very hard to compare eras because so many factors are different.

 

Exactly this. It's very difficult to compare. That's why I find it ridiculous when I hear people going on about Pele scoring goals in his front garden. Completely disrespectful imo.

 

He chucks in all manner of ****, though! He's got a world class record without them, so why do it?
There's no doubt that he was a great player, but he's such a dick about it.

 

Yeah but his front garden?

 

Navy Coast Guard v Army?

 

That's more like it. Plumbers v QPR?

 

Unlucky Ron.

 

We’ve got a leaky defence.

 

He’ll sort that before the end of the season.

 

Washers anyone?

 

I'm not convinced he'll be bothered either way. I mean if it was a burning passion he could go to the best team in the fourth tier and score 70+ goals next year but the guy has his head screwed on and will know that it means more to win things with clubs like Juventus rather than beat a disputed goal tally against lowly opposition.

 

I am still looking looking forward to the first intelligent post on here from you two
I won't hold my breath though

 

Burnley?

 

Forgive them for they know not what they think

 

I’ll let you know after the game pops

 

Burnley are a tough outfit to go to when your strikers aren’t firing. They’ll rough the rodents up though so I expect VAR to do the damage and get Livarpool back up and running.

 

Excited to see how Captain Hendo deals with Wood and Barnes.
