So the Guardian's doing its annual top 100 thingy

100-11 so far

https://www.theguardian.com/football...17-interactive

The usual silliness. I mean everyone loves Buffon but a better keeper in 2017 than De Gea? And who's actually watching these players if David Silva can rank lower than Dele Alli?

h8kurdt · 12.22.2017, 04:21 AM

Ha! I've not even bothered looking cos I know they're picking them out of a hat.

The top ten will be interesting that's for sure.

demonrail666 · 12.22.2017, 10:26 AM

Top 10 finally revealed:

1. Messi
2. Ronaldo
3. Neymar
4. De Bruyne
5. Kane
6. Modric
7. Lewandowski
8. Mbappe
9. Kroos
10. Hazard

h8kurdt · 12.22.2017, 01:28 PM

The usual suspects. Really hoping this year is the end of the Ronaldo/Messi duopoly.

All ready for the MEGA intense premier league Christmas? I do wonder what it must be like for players coming from Germany when they get to Christmas. "Wanting a Christmas holiday? No chance. You're gonna work EVEN HARDER!"

demonrail666 · 12.23.2017, 07:05 AM

Last night's game was nuts. Two weirdly dysfunctional teams in a weird dysfunctionality pissing contest.

Also, something that really irritates me about West Ham fans. I watch a lot of fan podcasts and they were all really down on Moyes in the week for obviously prioritising today's league game against Newcastle over the Arsenal cup game in the week. This obsession with cup runs, which I appreciate have been the clubs only route to any glory in the past, and probably ever. Thing is, even after some really encouraging results/performances, they're still in a relegation battle and probably will be till the end of the season. Moyes wasn't brought in to get us trophies, but to keep us in the prem, end of. West Ham fans can be amongst the most deluded out there sometimes.

h8kurdt · 12.23.2017, 11:21 AM

As today has shown.

Thing is, present company excepted, I fucking hate West Ham fans for that exact reason. I mean, the way you hear some of them talk you'd think they're meant to be in the Champions League every year without fail.

So Barca battered Real today. Zidane really should have left after the last Champions League win knowing he'd never be able to top that. Now the problem is that there's an ageing squad there that needs a massive overhaul.

demonrail666 · 12.24.2017, 04:09 AM

I dunno about the CL bit, but yeah, it doesn't take much for some to start deluding themselves. Saying that, the majority I know, who aren't talking on these fancasts, or to the media, have a far more realistic view of the situation. Essentially WH are club that's probably a bit too good for the Championship but can never really get a firm foothold in the Prem. Hence the regular yo-yoing between the two divisions.

h8kurdt · 12.28.2017, 12:41 PM

There you have it. Van Dijk goes for £70mill to Liverpool and monopoly money gets even more ridiculous. Absolutely mental. I reckon you could buy BOTH Bonnuci and Thiago Silva for that money. The funny thing is (if the rumours are to believed) that they're having to sell Coutinho to do it. Good thinking there.

The Soup Nazi · 12.29.2017, 04:20 PM

Dude, just what in all that is F was up with Rafa Benítez's "strategy" vs Manchester City yesterday. Anti-fútbol that shit was. Lock him up.

!@#$%! · 12.29.2017, 04:28 PM

ha ha. just read. bilardismo lives!

The price is obviously inflated but I think he'll improve Liverpool and, if he does, the money will become irrelevant. But he isn't a 1 man solution. They'll need further reinforcements if they're to become real title challengers. It's a step in the right direction, though.

We'll have to see how the transfer reflects more generally on prices. Personally I accept that top players now go for silly money but what I hate is when average players go for a fortune, too. Van Dijk isn't worth 75m but I can understand why a team like Liverpool would pay it. West Ham are looking at Swansea defender Alfie Mawson, who's being priced at 40m. That's just obscene.

demonrail666 · 01.05.2018, 08:16 PM

Suarez back to Anfield?

!?!

He can compare racist insults with Firminho.

Seriously though, I'd fucking love seeing him back in the Prem.

yeeeeeessssss ��

(of course i couldn’t see it so joke’s on me)

demonrail666 · 01.15.2018, 05:10 AM

It was a classic. Both teams really going for it. Liverpool were 4-1 up at one point but MC clawed back 2 goals making the final few minutes frantic as fuck.

The Soup Nazi · 01.16.2018, 05:32 PM

It's all about the Pope's visit here today. Why am I mentioning it on this thread? It's pretty obvious:

El Pupi Zanetti
El Pipi Romagnoli
El Pipa Higuaín
El Papu Gómez
and now, el Papa Francisco

Argentines and their goddamn nicknames, man...

Alright, as you all know Alexis is now a Manchester United cat. Will he thrive there and join the club's historic list of "7"s? Or will Joe the Mou give him some completely warped task and ruin the part-ay? I'd like to read your opinions, since I'm possibly not to be trusted on this particular matter...
