General Football Nonsense

I reckon Kenny did more than enough with that Liverpool team to call it his own. Three titles in six years, signed Barnes, Beardsley, Aldo, Houghton, McMahon etc. He did plenty of his own work.

Anyone at Real and Barca can fuck off, it’s difficult to lose with that much cash in such a pony league. they’re not proving anything.

So, basically, Kenny and Beckenbauer. No idea how good a player Zagallo or Simeone really were. I know they were internationals, but so was Carlton Palmer.

bosstrabs Zidane was a good fit for Real but I am not convinced he is a great manager. He had peak CR and world class players in every position.

Brentford playing right through Arsenal. Outstanding at home

Smallman1 · 1 Jan

Good game so far.

Arsenal will win 2-1.

As always you heard it here first.

Smallman1 my mate went for 1-2 about 2pm today, so unfortunately you weren’t the first to predict that score. Soz

Dan They were for fifteen minutes. Admittedly a little wishful thinking.

I actually went for it at 11am Rich so I was.

Soz.

alistair It’s a game of two half’s young Alistair.

Nwaneri looks like a hell of a player, shades of Messi.

Amps Can see it now, hard life without Big Virg next to him, so they stick him in midfield, but it doesn’t work out, because, he’s not a midfielder, and then he realises their league is a load of old shite and the milf supplied lemo is Hugo grade crap. One way ticket to the John Lennon Chicken Shed please!

@Old-Dutch Any odds on Trent going in the summer and then being resigned by us for the 26/27 season?

OOld-Dutch · 2 Jan

Haha you’d probably need to go to a bookies shop for that one

Amps · 2 Jan

Old-Dutch If the odds were decent it’s got to be worth a tenner. We must be looking at some buy back clause of some sort.

RichM · 2 Jan

Amps why don’t you think it will work for him there? I think his long ball passes will enable him to do well there, and his lack of defending ability will be less of an issue. And he will probably love playing with some of those players.

RichM Bellingham took to it like a duck to water. Trent will too. He’s a proper baller.

Smallman1 · 3 Jan

Trent is absolutely made for Real Madrid, they’ll love him.

Amps · 3 Jan

RichM why don’t you think it will work for him there?

It probably will, but, history tells us the ‘big moves’ don’t always work out.

Plus, there is a bit of needle here from me. I think there is a perception by footballers of Real and Barca being the holy grail of football, and I think it’s a load of bollocks.

alistair · 3 Jan

Amps Real’s recent stranglehold on the champions league suggests otherwise.

Amps · 3 Jan

alistair Two wins in the last six years?

Amps · 3 Jan

alistair my point was also less results based. Anyone going to Real will only ever be a Real footnote. You can get more footballing adulation from other clubs if that is what you want. But yeah, I appreciate he might just want silverware, so, yeah, join the richest club in a shit league.
