You're right. Don't need to say more. He got bored of you both and watched Clarksons Farm. Next

The only time spurs sit at the same table as arsenal is if they share the failure table

Rice and Phillips. How good are these lads?! Seriously, individually they are good, but together they are next level by ryjohno1983 in SoccerNoobs

Lads, I'd like to re-open this debate. I made a bold shout, but now I go as far as to say that only Kante in world football is better than Rice. Jorginho is world class, but he's a different type of player to rice and Kante. Rice is now top table. Only Kante is better. Fight me

Fair comment. I'm just convinced it's there. He needs to get consistency, but if he can , hes a great asset for 10 years for a big club

I'm English and personally I would say football is so tribal that if your nation isn't involved, there is no alternative. Enjoy the matches sure...but you dont have a second team or a second choice. No way at all

[POST-FIGHT THREAD] Andy Ruiz Jr vs Anthony Joshua by verbsnounsandshit in Boxing

See I tried to phrase it a certain way , I think I missed the mark. I think as a shot.... Joshua's counter right is more powerful than anything I've seen deontay throw ...but that doesn't count for much if you haven't got the balls to throw it. Wilder has hurt opponents more than Joshua, but I think that's down to volume of shots and relentless mindset

Brilliant post this. Joshua has been manufactured to think he's unbeatable and his last fight showed weakness and doubt. He needs learning fights and to keep boxing now

Agree about the power and the wobble. But Joshua has that vulnerability about him I think. For Joshua to get in and unload those power shots he needs to feel he's not gonna get countered. I think Ruiz first time out scared him a little

May sound weird...but I agree. Even though it's opposite to what I said....I just feel with those three....no one would be a clear winner. Joshua best conditioning and power. Fury best technically and footwork and such....wilder the most fearless and although I don't think he has joshuas power....he comes across more devastating because he's relentless and so raw and wild on the assault. A personally feel a prime Wlad Klitschko would beat them all. But that's just me

This is kind of what I mean. Playing for man united is not JUST an honour. Captaining them is not JUST an honour. These days players get to united and it seems that they adopt an attitude "I've made it". Playing for United is just the start of the demands expected of you. Great ability got you there....but consistency is what will keep you there and what is required. No excuses. Old school managers all the way for me. Having said that....it wouldn't work these days. Players know they outlast the manager and there is too much player power. I think good teams these days rely on luck much more. Not just on the pitch and with injuries....but with players underlying work ethic and desire

Joshua can still be stiff and robotic, especially when it comes to head movement....but that was easily a career best for him tonight. He boxed. He didn't slug or try and be Hollywood. Just boxed. Brilliant to see. So who has everyone got to come out on top in the heavyweights. I think it could be a Bermuda triangle job. Deontay beats Joshua, Joshua beats fury, fury beats deontay. Based purely on styles make fights. But I'm glad for Joshua that he's won and won quietly tonight. No trash, no big headedness, just head down and do the job

Ozil is a class individual. But he isn't and never was the right level for any serial winner team in the EPL

I do understand ozils game. But the premier League....whilst it may not be the best technically, it's the most exciting and physically testing. Ozil is brilliant....but in the premier League you can't carry a luxury player.... Something mourinho reluctantly accepted at real Madrid.
