muftyboy Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 See that's the thing Mufty.... Do we keep our integrity and fail miserablely or do we just cheat like the others ....

muftyboy Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Bobby Moore, Jack Charlton, Nobby Styles, Norman Hunter, somebody once joked, Norman had the best left foot in international football, but nobody could remember who it belonged to, they shall not pass, a real defence with Banks behind them. But it was a different game back then, you can only get away with so much these days, that's why we need to be a bit more clever and sneaky like other teams.

Food for thought eh Steve .... Imaging Messi or Ronaldo calling it a day at that age coz real "real men " played the game in them days..... Real mean play rugby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Football is a much more skilful game now than in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Messi is head and shoulders above anyone else who has ever kicked a ball and I for one am glad that the proverbial hatchet man has been taken out of the game to allow him, and players like him, to flourish.

snowmanstevo Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 And many more Steve although Mr Clough would disagree .....

I agree Messi is brilliant but for me Maradona is the best,done what Messi does while getting lumps kicked out of him, and played most of his career high on cocaine, imagine how good he would of been if he was straight. snowmanstevo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bivvystreet Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 It would have to be Maradonna for me as well,best finisher Marco van Baston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bivvystreet Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I was actually in Düsseldorf in 88 when van Basten put us out the euros with a hat trick,makes me feel old now,great player though snowmanstevo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bivvystreet Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 England played well actually,van Basten was the difference.

newmarket Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Dal & Stevo Whats your honest appraisal of saturdays game ? Tbh im looking for a one-off betting opportunity . I cant see l'arse losing but can the scousers nick a point ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Home win for me. If it were at Anfield I'd probably go the other way, but it's at the Emirates. No Sturridge for the 'pool either. I wouldn't bet money on it though. Both teams have put in cracking performances and shocking performances this season; so its by no means a cert at all.

snowmanstevo Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'd give Arsenal the edge .... There at home,there in good form and the loss of Studge and Skirtle will have more of an impact than Gerrard not playing..... In saying that I think we're good enough to nick a point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmanstevo Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thing Sterling needs to realise is the way Liverpool play,plays to his strengths. Don't get me wrong the lad is a talent,but his 1st touch is average at best,but I'd rather have him for me than against me. Cash in now I say, Arsenal, City and Chelsea have all been mentioned as have Bayern and Real. If he did go to Arsenal (and no offence to Dal) but theve not exactly been flowing with silverware bar last year and would make a mockery of success before money statement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalthegooner Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'd sign him. He's young, he's talented and he's only going to get better. What's not to like snowmanstevo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmarket Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Well here we go , back to some semblance of normality footie-wise . My predictions for the weekend ? Routine victories for Citeh , United & the Plastics . Narrow win for LeArse My lot ? They're on the beach already and with no managerial inspiration versus a team battling for their lives.

dalthegooner Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 What a great game of football.
