I don't really see much wrong with him or Balague tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more the bullshit they said from "contacts" every year Torres had agreed to sign for United was the worst or the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familar face at press conferences, gets to know members of the squads pretty well so nothing more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Was going to say don't really have much opinion on him either way but then remembered I had misfortune to listen to him on the La Liga world feed commentating on the games (pretty sure 1-2 made it on to ITV 4 when they briefly had the games). Had the knack of describing a Messi tap in like it was some major world event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Mourinho to be the Real manager very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It's actually pretty embarrassing from Sky with this Liverpool City love in. Villa Wolves chit chat probably less than 5 mins in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Vincent Kompany already up there with the absolute worst pundits I have ever seen. A very intelligent man by all accounts and brilliant leader and character in the dressing room, but he is going to make a horrible pundit and an even worse manager. As charasmatic as a cumrag.

villa4europe Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 snap shot reaction is im maybe puyol for ramos away from agreeing take it that's come up because of villa retiring? the list from this century is incredible to be fair to Spain, take our English conversation of scholes vs gerrard vs Lampard, spain can do that kind of game for about 4 or 5 positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Ramos is definite the best Spanish defender since Hierro. Puyol was 2nd but his leadership and bravery covered some flaws im his game. Pique nowhere near the level of them 2 Being a grade A dickhead is for another topic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sense given he was a midfielder/ sweaper for many years and scored over 20 league goals in one season for Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
