It still wasn't a tight game. Italy were thoroughly defeated by the time they lost Motta.


For someone who bleats on about what deep insights from a stellar playing career you need to perform pre match analysis of note, you didn't half come out with hackneyed pundit cliches did you, all you left out was 'at the end of the day'!

Can I just chip in here with YOU CAN NOT ANALYSE SOMETHING THAT IS YET TO HAPPEN!!!!!


You can analyse your opinent's recent form and tacticts, and try to plan around how you think they will play. Pundits can "preview" a match, but you can't bloody well analyse it, because IT IS IN THE FUTURE!!!!


Sorry, just been trying not to have that rant since yesterday, but I'm a broken man now.

From a footballing point of view I was disappointed that it wasn't a tight game. I knew Spain was going to win within the first two minutes of watching the game. They just looked that much sharper and Italy looked a bit tired and probably carrying injuries.

From your limited view of the game, I'd imagine whatever I say is not going to make sense to you. But as I like talking about things such as tactics, quality of players and playing surfaces, then all of these are used for pre-match analysis. Am I wrong just because you don't understand the game? Perhaps I'm wrong because I don't understand don't know any better logic?

No, you're just wrong because you can't analyse something that doesn't yet exist.


And because you said it would be a tight match. Now there is no shame in that, it doesn't actually matter one little bit in the great scheme of things. People just find it funny that you can't hold your hands up.

I have to say, that I thought it would be a lot tighter than it was, given Italy's 2 previous performances, but I don't know any better.


What is astounding, is that after talking about things such as tactics, quality of players and playing surfaces, UDT still didn't know any better. What a pointless exercise, being as 2 minutes in you knew it had all been for nought.

Posession wise Italy did much better against Spain than other teams, posession was quoted as 50:50 with not much of the game to go.


On this occaision Spain took their chances very well. Italy generally shooting from distance.


It was good to watch, probably the first international final for some time that did not disappoint.

Perhaps in don't any better logic terms but definitely not in football terms. Anyway Bob, how long do think you can keep your tirade before you give up? I think five years.

There's a significant volume of evidence that the predictions of experts are far less reliable than either statistical modelling or the collective views of apparently less well-informed groups of non-experts. (Anybody who listened to Mark Lawrenson's "expert" contributions to the BBC commentary on the final will have acquired their own little bit of empirical evidence to support this conclusion.) So there is a proper scientific basis for pointing out that UDT is indeed behaving like a tit, which is heartening.

Bizarre logic indeed.


Otta could believe he was an ewok and that the world is made of oompah loompahs (and I know for a FACT that he DOES believe the former!).

It has no bearing on whether your prediction was right or wrong UDT.


Which was it again? Go on, just say it this once....

I would now like to nominate myself as the leading football expert on this thread. Well, after *Bob* that is. Having done a detailed pre match analysis yesterday not only did I predict who would score the first goal, I got paid for it. That makes me a professional I reckon. Was anyone else able to go into such fine detail while pre analysing the game? Bet not.

All of this can often go out the window too. For instance Tottenham Hotspur three-nil up at half-time at home to Man Utd and still lose 5-3. Or more recently Tottenham 12pts clear of the Arse, unbeaten in ages and two-nil up at the Effemanites last season and losing 5-2. As Jimmy Greaves once said - "It's a funny old game".

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.

      The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
