  1. Just watched the highlights and glad Barca won. That Ramos is just unlikeable. I still think Real will win their game in hand and pip the title but would like Barca to win it.
  2. Certainly been the best performer. Alli, Zlatan, Hazard have all been superb but Kante deserving. Team of the season: De Gea Walker Alderweireld Luiz Rose Mane Alli Kante Hazard Lukaku Kane I would have had Zlatan in the team in place of Lukaku.
  3. Think we have a thread about the best ever. And this can be moved over if needed but its a good debate. Its a generation thing also, and I always think people should decide of who they have seen and not by reputation. Example Pele goes down by a lot as the best but I couldnt possibly comment as only seen clips. Messi has joined the elite IMO though, he has surpassed Zidane who makes my top 3. Maradona out on his own then Messi followed by Zidane.
  4. Kenny given the Players player of the year award. Hyndman got young POTY and Hill got the John Greig achievement award. Cant disagree with any of those.
  5. But they play Man Utd so if they win that it is in their hands. Plus City v Utd means something has to give.
  6. He is up there of all timers but Maradona was still better. I cant imagine how good Maradona would be playing now on carpet pitches and with the tackling rules tightened. I wonder if Messi would be as effective say in Valencia or Sevilles team - probably would but the point being Maradona went to Napoli who werent the biggest side in the league and won them 2 titles. Imagine how good he would have been in that AC Milan side of the late 80s.
  7. Palace safe now, didnt see them winning that. Top 4 battle is very much open again and somehow its back in Arsenals own hands, it they win their games in hand they are above Liverpool on goal difference. But Man Utd are starting to creep up, the Manchester derby will be huge this week.
  8. Couldnt have called it more wrong. A Chelsea v Arsenal final.
  9. Good betting...a double Swansea and Hull. That helps the dent from last weekends hiding in Cambodia. Never bet on West Ham....done.
  10. As Geena gee Said Ohh ahh A little bit more... Fair play Chelski....

    Wes injured?

    We had a few worse than Theo. I used to always panic when Ally Maxwell came in for Goram.
  12. Good read. My first OF game was at Hampden, the season they played their home games at Hampden in 94-95. This was good as means Ive yet to step foot into Parkhead. And what a first experience it was with a 3-1 win. A double from Hateley and Laudrups goal at the end. We had a few injuries that day and a few of the players were sitting a few rows behind me (Durrant, Durie, Brown). It was Alan McLarens debut. Lets hope the injury to Foderingham is false. I have no idea what to expect from Pedro but I see him taking on the Bull here and its going to be interesting, he certainly doesnt seem to be Mourinho-esk and the type to shut up shop. So I wonder if the likes of Windass and McKay will feature or Dodoo. But perhaps the latter may be better off the bench. As its a cup game I wont have it on TV so will be checking Rangers TV again and I'll pay for the match again as I enjoyed it 2 weeks ago and will sign up for the season next year. Id probably play this team but not fully sure what formation Id set out Foderingham Tavernier Hill Wilson Beerman Holt Windass Toral Hyndman Miller Waghorn
  13. Been changed - meant country.
  14. Of course! Ok home country then. Despite its location.
  15. Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid Monaco v Juventus My tip of Juventus looking better, I think their defence will stiffle out the high scoring Monaco side plus the italians have a goalscoring threat. The Madrid derby is tough to call, Atletico have a great La Liga record lately but Real have won the two finals in recent years. Im going for a Juventus v Atletic Madrid final. Gareth Bale wont get to do what Ronaldo did a few years ago and win the CL in his home town. Europa Semi coming up - Man Utd, Lyon, Celta Vigo, Ajax.
  16. Dorrans would be half decent. Possibly a good addition for building depth in the squad. Would probably ease the Scottish game. Id like to see Hyndman being a top target whether another loan deal or permanent.
  17. Good shout Frankie with Foderingham. Certainly a contender for our POTY and keepers are often over looked. Ive always said there should be a POTY in every league and a Keeper of the year in a separate award. Miller has never been an out and out goalscorer. Boyd was a poacher (albeit it against poor opposition) but can you imagine Boyd going what Miller does all over the park and hitting a screamer like Pittodrie 2 weeks ago? Plus off the park Miller is a model Pro. Id say the Club is better with Kenny around the place than not. As such I hope he gets a final year or is kept on in some capacity.
  18. Very sad and shocking, it just seems out the blue when he was still in great shape. Hopefully a minutes applause on Sunday and Gers players wear black armbands.
  19. Since that post I have changed, Spurs are flying and Chelsea not firing on all cylinders. As soon as they get an injury or 2 they have to adjust their players and its caused issues for them. Plus Costa is in a bit of a sulk. This is where Conte earns his corn though and its up to him to sort it out and I think he will in the league to give Chelsea the title but Im going to go for Spurs tomorrow on pens. Spurs v City final.
  20. 44 years old and still super fit and doing a cracking job with Spurs U23s who are one of the best young sides in the country. Get well soon.
  21. Im in Kuala Lumpur May 7 - 11 but trying to switch things. If successful with changes then I will straight away be in touch but its looking very tight at the moment. Id love to get over for it, its 13 years since the original first Gersnet meet up which was far too short of a few drinks before the game although 4 or 5 of us (none except me post on here now) did go for a crawl after the game.
  22. Not much to have a flutter on this weekend but I will be doing a Hull and Swansea double. West Ham let me down for $1800 last weekend and not for the first time in recent weeks so I wont be touching them. Bournemouth 1-1 Middlesbrough Hull 2-0 Watford Swansea 1-0 Stoke West Ham 0-1 Everton Burnley 0-1 Man Utd Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace FA Cup Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham Spurs to win on Pens Arsenal 0-2 Man City
  23. Was away over the weekend but well done to Brighton for promotion, they have been the most consistent. Well done for Hughton, underrated manager and coach. Newcastle are stumbling but should still go up as Huddersfield have also blipped. Reading and Huddersfield have cemented play offs but the battle is on between Sheff Wed, Fulham and Leeds. Sheff Wed have got their form back at the right time but its Leeds who are slipping. I would like to see both Sheff Wed and Leeds go up but only one will get the chance, Id chose Wed if it was between them.
  24. Holt has been very hot and cold in the games Ive managed to see over the last 12 months, but obviously lots on here will be seeing him week in week out. I thought he was excellent going back to last years Semi final plus he cruised through the game at Pittodrie 2 weeks ago. Yet there was a few games away to thistle, Ross County, Inverness and Kilmarnock where he wasn't at the races. You could say Hearts aswell but the full team didn't turn up then. But he may be feeling more comfortable in this role and I think he looks more suited. I don't see him as a creator in the final third at all. To think at the start of the season we had brought in Crooks, Barton and Rossiter all to play this type of role. Excellent assessment Rousseau.
  25. Just hasnt happened for barca tonight, Juve could have been leading in this match. Very much regretting not putting Juve on at 8/1 before the first leg. They are a classic Italian side defensively and have pace going forward
