Re: Michael Olise left out of France Euros squad

Next up is Eze, Tosin, Tomori. These guys never learn. It’s too late for Eze, Tomori and Tammy. They’ve been had. Tosin is still holding out but I don’t think he has much of a chance with England. But I guess a young man has a right to dream. I believe Eze may still be eligible. Isn't it now a cuto...

I am not saying he shouldn't have been hired, afterall, we didn't know the experience or qualification of Peseiro's assistants.

Re: EPL- It’s NOT Football Anymore! Man City will be Champs

Sliding doors. Had Son slipped it beyond Ortega’s big toe, it would still be football. Potentially. It’s not about the game being played, rather who’s playing it. There was no such thread after Game week 30 with Liverpool 2 clear of Beloved and 3 clear of Alibaba. All the talk was of fortitude. Fas...

Re: EPL- It’s NOT Football Anymore! Man City will be Champs

@Ssebo, what is the context of the clip? If not mistaken, this was in reference to VAR. Could be wrong. @Tx, the interval between the signing of Jota, Diaz, Nunez, Gakpo, if not mistaken, was 3 seasons. Regarding the Kalvin Phillips reference, could this be likened to Naby Keita, who came, failed a...

Re: EPL- It’s NOT Football Anymore! Man City will be Champs

So does it only apply to City? Did Real have to split the paella to sign Ronaldo, Bale, Bellingham? Why spend tens of millions on teenage Vinicius and Rodrygo, could they not have developed such in their academy? Camavinga, Tchoumeni, late teens, early 20s, big outlays. The Mbappe logic makes littl...

Re: EPL- It’s NOT Football Anymore! Man City will be Champs

@Tx, trying to understand the “it’s not football anymore” argument. Would that be premised on spending power, expenditure or both? Is this a charge that sits with City alone? Why is the UCL still football despite Real Madrid, perpetual winners having smashed records to procure Zidanes, Figos, Ronal...

Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Devts for 2023-24 Season

Coach wrote: Tue May 14, 2024 9:41 pm With all due respect, Tottenham played well. Lacked composure in the finish. City were well off it. De Bruyne injured, Ederson out, if they couldn’t take the points, take the players. It’s all meat and drink.

Tottenham is, well Tottenham.

Toto brings on an 18y/o Moore to perhaps take the Mikey off a Manchester City, with $100m pounds worth of Grealish sitting comfy on the bench.

^^^ You rate Finidi based on what? The fact that his team was dominated by a 10-man Ghana team in the second half? Or that they lost to Mali? If Finidi was so good, why did he not replicate his coaching at the African level? Eyimba were disgraced when they stepped up to continental level. And this ...
