Kicking out Barca would cost La Liga hundreds of millions in lost revenue. They'd be crazy.

apparently javier mascherano has pleaded guilty to tax fraud in spain

The top 100 youth prospects according to Bleacher's Sam Tighe. Perhaps slightly biased towards English clubs but not a bad read.

Grealish over Bellerin is laughable.

Magma · Oct 30, 2015

just at a quick glance rekik (55) is way too high. i liked him as a player but someone like denayer (100) has flown past him.

but, it's not an easy task and it at least highlights the names us fm players have known for years

It's kinda funny that they rank guys like Ojo, Wilson, Rossiter in front of Jordan Ibe. Not to mention a ton of other youth players in top English sides going on about how they dominate their age group.

Ibe would dominate that age group too, he is just too good at that level, hence him being in our first team. Apparently they rate kids who dominate at youth level over those who have already broken through but havent instantly become Messi.

Silly article really.

Dele Alli #79 nearly 50 places behind Grealish :thumbsdown:

I'd really love to know how they get their writers sometimes. Especially on the general football pages or premier league pages. The club specific writers at least for Spurs are very good but as soon as it's on one of the other pages it's like reading something from SB Nation!

You used to be able to apply to them directly. Even the best work on BR feels like it's only 90% of the way there. Clearly they have no editors either

Anyone can do it. Apply to BR, if you consistently get hits you'll probably be able to call yourself a staff writer. Football knowledge is optional.

Think we upgraded him to Ronaldo

You said you're 31.

Clearly not.

Unless you jumped on the bandwagon

Was actually going to call him out on that post but you beat me to it

Yep, not as detailed as i'd have liked but it only went for an hours so only so much you could fit in.

Must have been pretty surreal scoring goals for Everton/England/United on a Saturday and then rocking up to school on the monday.

Can't even imagine how that would've felt, having school friends and teachers etc watch you play a big blockbuster game Everton v Arsenal and scoring a Bullet, then on the Monday just stroll into school, would've been unreal.

There's a one-day screening for Ronaldo's new movie at village cinemas, think it comes out nov.9, will show his life and what it's like to live the life being one of the worlds best players, looking forward to it.

Remember going to school in Northamptonshire for 6 months before the fam moved down to Hertforshire. Went into school the day after Beckham got send off vs Argentina and my teacher came into the first class of the day and just said.....'what a stupid, stupid boy'. I know Becks was out of school at that point but Rooney would have had to deal with stuff like that.

Football wise, ken oath. Don't care about what Rooney did off the pitch in his younger days, certainly didn't affect his football. It's not like he's Adam Johnson/Frank Ribery/Karim Benzema off the pitch.

reckon its affected his form, some players perform better when they live wild lives off the field.

Considering Rooney is pretty much finished now. I wonder where he will end up being rated. I think he has always just come across as a disappointment. The media just put unfair hype on him as if he was going to be the best player in the world. He never got to those heights though.

He was pretty lethal 2006-2010. World class in that period IMO.

Never quite the same since he attempted to force a move away for the first time back in 10/11.
