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

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By trinidad · Posted

      What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.

      When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
