    Didn't he say "hard work beats talent, if second is the first of the losers” ?

    I remember it as “Hard work beats talent, if talent doesn’t work hard”.
    Unless there’s another from Nigel on that thread.

    Sorry, it wasn’t too obvious. I was making the point that people seem to attribute so many quotes to Nigel, that don’t come from him at all. Such as “hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard”.

    They’re not pearls of wisdom from the old physio, and we had a thread on that note giving him Sun Tzu, Martin Luther-King quotes etc etc.

    Nigel re-popularised a few to the point where people thought they were his original phrases. Which is fair enough. I think the 'bus' analogy is his. But it could have come out of some coaching manual.

    Moise Kean sounds like a good signing for Everton.

    Sheff Utd spending £20m on Swansea striker Oli McBurnie. Could've had Austin for less than half of that.

    Brooks ruled out for 3 months. That's a big blow to Bournemouth. That would be like losing Redmond for 3 months.

    I would like to point out that as my last match day thread led us to a draw I will be posting the Burnley match thread shortly after the Köln game.

    GenX/Millennial?

    "Why do people insist on referring to the big 6? It should the big 4. How can Liverpool & Spurs be regarded as “big” when they’ve never been English League Champions?"
