Morons who say Messi and Ronaldo are in the top percentile of the most stupid football fans. How idiot can you be to think two obviously best players of more than the recent past, have been only good against weaker oppositions? Really, how little do these player-fans use their brains when observing matches, thinking about it and coming up with this absolutely idiotic bs about the highest level of individual skill they ever witnessed and still were too thick in the head to understand it.

So they wanna go full-Kardashians with more drama somehow? Why not just make it independent and not just a semi-retirement club?

I’d imagine likes of Owen and Neville being “considered” for it, after all it’s all about being mates with Webb. Surely even United fans like yourself know how stupid that idea is. Same goes for any other ex player, specially who’s not bright enough to be a manager/coach/director by now.

Just bring a truly independent panel that’s not picked by PGMOL itself, like their current one and make them both accountable under FA. It’s not that complicated.

Okay I remember your username from your constant shitetakes mate. I literally don’t remember any other than mine and I wasn’t even trying.

Genuine question, are you trying to rile others up or are you just this dumb?

I have a hunch things are going to change for the better and these ex player clowns can’t stop it. I’m looking at my own club’s up and coming fan channels and podcasts that are becoming instant hits, and they’re far from what boring tribalist bs we are used to. Sky and other broadcasters will have to catch up or keep losing fans to fan-made media. There’ll also be a big competition for broadcasting services itself and that’ll be another way to either force existing channels to change in order to stay on top or newer services to innovate in order to steal a chunk of theirs.

Football has changed a lot, it’s hardly easily digestible as it was when I started watching it late 80s with players on a grand a week coming up drunk to have a kick about. There’ll be no country for old clowns.

Tbf we have no real reason listening to them, except them being attached to Sky which provides coverage for us. I haven’t watched them in a year now and I genuinely feel less stupid, at least when it comes to understanding football!

Yes, they were proper players, but being a player doesn’t mean you’re a brilliant analyst of the game, you may be one but there is no real corelation. Neville tried to be a coach, failed so bad at it. They still cry about keepers playing it short or inviting press, whilst almost every top coach and modern day champion uses it and wins big doing so. They cry at every new signing and tactic that Fergie or Benitez didn’t utilize 20 years ago. They’re just like 'member berries from South Park, no original idea, only stupid narrative and tribalism. There are some really top level game re-watch channels ran by young lads that do what I have never seen these pundits do. Observe, break down objectively and make sense instead of talking bs about “tis all about mentality” or “no leaders” whenever a team loses.

Severely low xG conceded doesn’t mean “defend” more of the game, on the contrary it means you have a better control of the game. You are essentially allowing fewer opportunities for the opposition to have a glimpse of your side of the pitch. Teams that defend more, often concede a big xG, and if they have good defenders then their xG per shot would be lower. But yeah, pure low xG is all about controlling the game and the ball.

Fofana was 75 mil sterling? Fuck was he even good for Chelsea before his injury?

When was Bale average exactly lol. He was a 16 yo sensation who rose afa you’d see back then.

Arshavin, Drogba, Vardy are some of the players that fit that description. And to a lesser extent likes of Salah, or KDB who were considered somewhat promising but seemed to have flopped before breaking ground and becoming PL giants.

Again, wtf Bale was always a promising talent and peaked so young! It’s the opposite of this!

TLdR;

I’m not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with me!

Rice specifically said he attempted his shot because he remembered what Beckham had done. What more proof would you want?

They spent a fuckin billion in a year so poorly that people feel the need to point out “oh I think they will be there in 3 4 years”. They could have a guaranteed present as well as a more secure future if they were only a little bit wise when spending all that. Again one fucking billion! What the actual fuck Todd??
