Kiwis lapping up their new derby. Some spicy words indeed!



jd2010 what's the media frenzy like over the ditch for this one like?

media frenzy lol

Not one minute. Got alerts for the Hammers game but apart from that know of no results or where we're at on the table.

Watched maybe a couple highlights across the whole league.

Got to the point where what's the point. Liverpool compiled one of the PL's great squads and have 1 COVID affected title to show for it. You let a wolf in the hen house and this is what happens.

I know we will recruit some good players, finish 4th to 7th and rinse and repeat the next year and so on. When P1 is blocked off the league loses its appeal. City have through their dodgy behaviour transformed the league into an English Bundesliga.

Does suck that the cheating Man City kept us form winning more than we did. That team Klopp and Edwards built deserved more than we got even though we still won every trophy there was to win with Klopp.

City will hopefully have their downfall.

Interesting discussion about Madrid and their behaviour.. yet the winner plays for a club that cheats and nothing is said, and he should be stripped when his club is inevitably found guilty of the 115 charges.

Back to tell us how you've walked away from football yet again. Melt.

 

[moomba]

If they didn't cheat to get to the stature they're at now would they be in a position to have players winning such awards.

You'll be right in that he'll keep it regardless.
I won't return to watching top flight football until they're sanctioned.

Ha ha.

Looks like they threw their spelling out too.

That would have been a kick arse tweet otherwise…

Vinci wasn’t even that good. Bellingham is the better player on the team.
Massively overrated.

Don't really give a toss about the Ballon d'Or but the players do and it obviously meant a lot to Rodri.

So I'm really pleased for him.

And the meltdown in Madrid has been quite amusing.

 

[jod23]

Ballon d'Or really is just who is the best player that plays for either Real Madrid or Barcelona.

I'm shocked Rodri won it despite IMO probably deserving it.

[Bradesmaen]

I mean it looks made up. What fan wears a badge on a lanyard?

 

[RossFC]

More Madrid tears, can't even say Rodri's name.

The voting for the Ballon d’Or is a bit random. Votes for the Men's Player of the Year were cast by an international jury panel, comprising one journalist from each of the top 100 countries in the FIFA Men's World Ranking. The selected guy from Equatorial Guinea gets the same voting rights as the selected guy from Spain.

There were a few disparities. Czechia had Rodri in 1st place and Vini Jr 9th. El Salvador had Rodri in 7th place and Vini jr nowhere.

Quite the get by Forest.

Quite the get by Forest.

From what I have read, it was reported a few months ago in the Brazilian press that he was being sought to head up their global multi club model. 3 clubs I believe in their ownership group with the intention to acquire a 4th in South America. Tripled his wages and a vastly expanded role, it’s quite the deal for Edu, and a challenge now for Arsenal.

One thing football does not do well individual awards. Balon D'Or and the PFA awards are the most prestigious but have serious flaws.

Mo's only made 3 PL PFA teams of the year. That's insane to me.

Maybe you should you look at your own club's awards. Salah has only made the Liverpool player of the season 4 times and one of them was last season when he clearly didn't deserve to be in the PL team of the year.

Not sure how Man United is considered a difficult game for Liverpool but Spurs is considered "challenging" for us?
