EPL on the brink of losing 4th CL spot.
Whitnail replied to greenockraver's topic in Misc Other Fitba Chat
Well Barcelona were recently hammered by Celta Vigo. It's a bit of a stretch to say the lower league teams of the EPL are better than their Bundesliga or La Liga equivalents - where is the evidence? Is it just they have more money - therefore better? -

It's cliche soup though. You could argue the actual effect means they are fitter - and therefore more capable in Europe? If there is any difference at all, where is the evidence there is more km covered per game in the EPL relative to other leagues? The number of goals etc. is pretty consistent across all the major leagues. -

How many would make the Bayern first team? -

Yeah but if Paul Pogba, say, had the chance of Bayern vs. any English club, I don't think he'd struggle to make that decision. We're not sure what interest the likes of Videl or Alonso had but I'd be surprised if the top EPL clubs weren't considering it. Similarly, there was absolutely interest from Man Utd in Thiago and other clubs would have surely been looking at a free transfer like Lewandowski or Gotze. Bayern don't overtly take the best players from the EPL as Real and Barca do but if they're interested in a player, he tends to end up there over somewhere else. On the flip side, do you really think Bayern were hankering for signings like Sterling or Martial? I reckon if they had wanted KDB they would have got him. Impossible to prove of course. IMO these three clubs stand on their own podium of world football. -

Does it currently attract the top players? Great players, yes, but the very top players play in La Liga and the Bundesliga. The likes of Ronaldo, Suarez and Bale make the move there, whereas Real and Barca willingly send back players they no longer want. If Barcelona were desperate to sign Aguero or Hazard do you really think they would stay at their respective clubs? -

But since then there has been an all Spanish and all German Final. So I think 7 years is quite a long time really. -

Currently yes, but it won't be fair if they fall below Serie A. Arsenal are usually the fourth hangers on, and they're pretty hilarious to watch rather than enjoyable. -

It's astonishing people actually think Neville is a good pundit. He's awful, all spin and no substance. Explored in Viallis book "The Italian Job" - maybe the English players with their culture of beer and take aways just aren't as fit? Where did he say this? -

Er, what? Our coefficient ain't too bad to be honest, we've no longer overachieving massively but still doing okay. It was a very strong European campaign for Aberdeen this year, for example. -

West Hams choice is to slink out without really trying, or to try and get hammered by someone anyway. No win scenario. -
Cracked did an article on this. Basically, it happened once in the US (one guy doing it to his own son for predictably awful reasons). Since then it's just been BE A WEAR territory with no basis in fact.

Scotlands last genuine world class player?
Whitnail replied to RobbieD's topic in Tartan Army Ramblings
De Jong is a horrific shout there. Why must Scottish fans bizarrely put their own players down? You can think Fletcher is not world class but to put fucking Nigel De Jong ahead of him? -
Maybe he wanted to get back to his Somalian routes.

Didn't he grow up there?

Should Weed Be Legal?

Well, the progress it has made towards decriminaliasation has been rapid in the US over the past 5 years and we'll follow whatever they do. -
These guys sound pretty serious to be honest. Especially when prompted "what name do you have" - they actually give they own name. At least he didn't incorrectly guess their ethnicity.

It's funny because it's something that David Cameron admits to using. What he must be saying is that, had the maximum 5 year prison term being slapped on 16 year old Dave this would actually have improved his life prospects. And protected society and the individual. Can't argue with that, I'm sure he'd have done great in prison. -

That big number 3 at 15 seconds must be the slowest footballer I've ever seen -
Would you accept a Bentley if it meant having that face? I wouldn't..... I think we're all owed lots of money now.

Was it an RGU networking event? Depends what you're doing to be honest, they are plenty of good reasons for going to whichever uni you end up in, it's when people go somewhere to follow their friends / burd that it will end badly.
