No, it's a journalist's opinion. You posted a fake quote...

Good record, will get some goals, but not sure he's going to set the world alight. Di Maria on the other hand is awesome.


Nice to see this thread pop up with some actual football talk rather than the usual shite.


What did people think about the whole Sterling rest thing?


Intersting support from the likes of Rio Ferdinand, especially what he said about Tevez whilst at United.

I agree with what this fitness coach says. I don't think the manager did Sterling any favours by stating publicly the reason he was benched. The press can make a mountain out of a pinhead in this country.

I like Hodgson, but he's treated his player really poorly for me. And I think pointing to Michael Owen and even Robbie Fowler as examples of pacey players who have been over used from a young age burning out, is valid.


Owen had a pretty good career, but it will always look like a career that started with so much promise and never really lived up to it because he was never allowed to fully recover.

I just got all misty eyed watching this. My boyhood idol. Still no one to touch him as far as I'm concerned.

44 goals in 57 England caps including six hat-tricks (more than anybody else).

And for anyone who thinks the game started with the Premiership you can forget Alan Shearer's record because Jimmy pisses all over that and still holds the record of 357 goals in top flight football and six Golden Boots as the top flight's leading scorer. 466 goals in 659 appearances. I could go on.

I was gutted when he left Spurs for West Ham and I was inconsolable when he quit football a year later at just 31. I love him.


 

I like his story that despite his long term abstinece he still keeps booze in his house for guests etc but they alwauys get completley pissed becuase he pours such big measures from his drinking days. Good self control, I like an alcholic who can still pop into a pub and have an orange juice with his mates.
It's another reason why I admire him so much. I'd just started working on the Sunday People as a 16-year-old when Jimmy broke the story about his alcoholism with the journalist Frank Thorne. Probably the first used headline of 'My Booze Hell'. He came into the office a few times and I so wanted to go up to him and shake his hand and tell him how much I admired him but felt it wasn't appropriate at the time. He was going through such a rough patch I felt very sorry for him. Everyone in the office was in total awe of him. There was a hell of a lot of love in the building for him. He was such a hero to us all. I met him 30 years later and he is a really lovely bloke and whenever I see him I'm still that little kid playing football in the park who wanted to be him.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
