When I first went to their ground it is such a weird experience, slap bag in the middle of central of London on the Thames. Really nice though.

He wouldn't stand out no
De bruyne is better than him anyway
I told you before, only 2 players from today make a team of the last 30 years and they both played at the end of the golden era
Football was Full of world class talent back in the mid 90s to mid 2000s... Maybe Bruno stands out to you because there's not that many greats today
If it's just nostalgia I hope people use that too when talking about Messi in 15 years
I'm absolutely positive that if Robert lewandowski can score 40 plus goals a season, then Ronaldo nazario today in his prime would score 60 plus a season
And Romario
And let's not talk about the state of Spanish football atm

Maybe past eras were better i wont argue that but you are defibtley overdosing on nostalgia as it stops u enjoying footy fullstop outside of cov

Not all of them for me, for starters the level of defenders has dropped massively, added to the physicality... It's part the reason so many players score so many goals every year... Protection that players get today they wouldn't have had... Football was just better to watch
Lukaku wouldn't have scored the amount he does in Italy back then like he does now for starters...

On flip side would maradona be as good in era of supreme athletes? Yes being kicked less but he ain't gonna be out dribbling everyone whilst doing coke in todays era
Just playing devils advocate

Well yes... He'd be as fit as the rest today.. On better pitches and lighter balls and more protection

Like I said, he'd be faster and more athletic too... I hope you use these same arguments against Messi in 15 years like I said

Well Messi has done ok and they are similar in size, Maradona played in a time were defenders could really defend and also had a one foul start on you. Maradona would have terrorised teams in this era.

Yep....for all the talk of the new wave of young, creative & attacking talent, Kane is still the first name on the england team sheet every single time. Top top player.
Usually slightly to the left & back a bit

That's terribly sad for him,very good manager, just made a couple of poor signings this year that really you can't do with a small budget at that level

If we ever parted company with Robins I'd have him here. I think he's a victim of his own success at Sheffield United.

They won't be as strong next year without him imo.

Seems a little short sighted. Perhaps got them to the Premier League too soon and last season raised expectations to too high a level.

Weren't there rumours a while back, think he came to a game or something?

Those signings were shockers though a striker that doesn’t score and a goalkeeper that can’t save

Mad decision to get rid of him. He's completely turned things round there and they move on from him as soon as things are a bit rough. They were challenging for Europe last season! They'll definitely be less of a threat next season now.
The signings were poor but that surely isn't just on the manager, don't they have a whole team of people working on it?
He'll be in demand and can basically pick his job at Championship level.

Didn't want to start another thread about this, so I'd thought I'd ask here:
Does anyone else find the "modern" game really dull? Feel like there's little need to watch a full 90 minutes and you'd be better off just watching highlights because so little happens now. The short, slow pass game results in nothing really happening for a good chunk of games, whereas the long ball was more end to end (obviously), more goals, faster tempo to scramble into position etc. Seems long ball play has been pushed out by fifa though with rule changes where if you so much as touch a player, they can and will fall down like a sniper took a shot.

I said this a few posts back in this thread, the modern game is very dull
