  1. I would have been, but then again I'm Irish, so I'm probably not the benchmark when it comes to this
  2. I thought Gael Kakuta was the issue. At least he was the example cited on Sky Sports News at the time. EDIT: Ah, just read the later posts.
  3. Nah, that was due to the dodginess of their dealings, specifically the Kakuta transfer. I can't remember the details but he came from out foreign, was a child, and the registration was dodgy. Other than that, I think that you can just stockpile all the talent if you want.
  4. On here, yes, but in Argentina I'd say that is still Messi. He has been crazily good in this tournament. I'd imagine that video focusing on him for the penalty shootout is as popular if not more in Argentina than the one of Martinez against Mina.
  5. That was a very adult version of Peter Pan that you were watching.
  6. At 28? It's not the 90's anymore. I think some people need to adjust their thoughts on the age at which footballers are at their peak. With the advancements in sports science and players not going on the piss for two days after a match. Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic (40 in October) are the most famous examples of players playing at the top level well in to their 30's. Chiellini and Bonucci are the CBs for Italy at 34 and 36 and they don't look much slower than 7/8 years ago and it's not like this Italy team do everything to protect them. Even in other sports - Federer and Nadal in tennis, Tom Brady in NFL. They are two very physically demanding sports, probably more so than football. If Mings continues to look after himself (he obviously does), gets a bit of luck with injuries, and adding to that he didn't play a lot of football until much older than other footballers, then he could have a peak which lasts another 5 - 6 years.
  7. Back to the alcohol and drugs so. Only solution.
  8. And if England win, he will probably win the player of the tournament award or whatever godforsaken marketing buzzname they've given it.
  9. Maybe it's imminent in the geological sense. The way eruptions of a volcano are imminent. Someone reviews all the data, states an eruption is imminent and then, a month later the volcano erupts. Sounds about the right pace for our kit launches.
  10. No. That would go more like this. The euro (symbol: €; code: EUR) is the official currency of 19 of the 27 member states of the European Union. This group of states is known as the eurozone or euro area and includes about 343 million citizens as of 2019. The euro, which is divided into 100 cents, is the second-largest and second-most traded currency in the foreign exchange market after the United States dollar. The currency is also used officially by the institutions of the European Union, by four European microstates that are not EU members, the British Overseas Territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, as well as unilaterally by Montenegro and Kosovo. Outside Europe, a number of special territories of EU members also use the euro as their currency. Additionally, over 200 million people worldwide use currencies pegged to the euro. The euro is the second-largest reserve currency as well as the second-most traded currency in the world after the United States dollar.As of December 2019, with more than €1.3 trillion in circulation, the euro has one of the highest combined values of banknotes and coins in circulation in the world.
  11. Like when they gave Özil that massive contract when he was on the decline and they then learned their lesson by not giving Aubameyang and Willian bumper contracts? Oh, wait... With the way Arsenal is run these days, I wouldn't put learning lessons from past mistakes as one of their strengths.
  12. Apparently a translation. Hardly after the watershed stuff is it?
  13. Good to see our two future signings already have a good understanding.
  14. It is a semi-final and he's an English goalkeeper. Rarely do they come out of such games as a hero.
  15. Highlights of the game and penalties
  16. If it makes you feel better, I wrote the exact same post but then checked the two figures again as it made no sense to me why the post had so many likes.
  17. If your full backs have a long thread then that's usually not a good sign. EDIT: Original post was written by an idiot
  18. Fair enough Dean. Thanks for the info.
  19. El Ghazi: Look, all this on the bike and weights and so on is great but I need to get out on the pitch. I haven't cut inside and taken a shot since the end of May.
  20. He has got no. 23 for them even though they have a no. 26.
