  • Can argue with some of mine if you like, I’m not gonna argue back:

    1. David Beckham wasn’t as good as everybody makes out. I watched him during his prime years. He missed many free kicks and his crosses were wayward; ALOT.
    2. Paolo Maldini is the greatest defender to ever live.
    3. Adriano should have been Brazil’s greatest player and it’s such a shame that his mental health took a nosedive.
    4. Sir Alex Ferguson is the greatest Manager to ever live, not coach.
    5. Greece’s Euro’s win is greater than Leicester City’s premier league win.
    6. Everton would have won the European Cup in the 80’s if it wasn’t for Heysel and the ban on English teams in the European Cup.
    7. (Not controversial but funny every time I think about it) Graeme Souness would be dead if he was caught by a Fenerbahce fan when he planted the Galatasaray flag in the middle of the pitch.
    8. Arsenal’s Invincibles team would get trounced by their recent runners up Premier League team, Liverpool 2020 winners, Man City from 2017 onwards, Man Uniteds Treble Winners, Poch’s Tottenham and Mourinho’s Chelsea.
    9. Manchester City are the greatest premier league team ever and in the top 10 of greatest teams to play the sport.
    10. Wayne Rooney is England’s greatest ever player, followed secondly behind Steven Gerrard.




  • I do feel for Everton, it’s a harsh punishment and I don’t think there should be punishment for investing what you like into a club to make it run better, that’s a good thing in business and that’s what football is now, which hurts as much as it’s true. The rules are stupid but if you’ve broken them and there is proof of that, you can’t complain.

    On the City subject, I don’t understand how every fan thinks they’re guilty when the charges are accusations? It still has to go to a panel and case and most of the 115 charges are little things that have been duplicated from one charge like ‘failure to report financials on time’. It’s really petty to claim to be forthright and claim that your club has done no wrong when most clubs have. United got charged for FFP for a similar charge in the summer and got a small fine.

    I do think if City get charged with the 115 charges, it will be the end of the premier league as we know it. They will get lawyers on the appeal and charges will be handed out to all other clubs i.e United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea. Because if City have done any wrong for trying to build a club, then the others have certainly done so. In the 90’s/early 00’s United paid record fee’s for many players and on that basis became as well supported as they are now to get that revenue stream they have from fans all over the world. It’s quite a conundrum the premier league have on their hands if there is no statue of limitations in their rules which has been stated many times.
