Nothing but massive respect for Scholes. The most gifted English player of the Prem era?

Gazza was in the Prem era, so everyone else has to line up behind him in terms of talent.

Yep, no argument there. Although did he actually play in the Prem at his height? I thought he was at Spurs when it was still the 1st Division.

yeah he had the massive injury in the 91 cup final with Spurs, then went off to Lazio, then Rangers, I dont think he came back to England until he went to Boro. Even so, if he counts as a Prem era player he's head and shoulders above anyone else. Nobody's come close to being named player of the tournament at a World Cup like Gazza was at Italia 90.

No, you're right. Problem is whenever Gazza's name is mentioned I always end up killing hours watching him on youtube. Not the funny stuff, or the tragedy, just the brilliance.

This Charming Man indeed.

you must spread some reputation around before giving it to demonrail again

Liverpool are amazing to watch. So happy they are finally on fire.

Poor old H8kurdt. Last night can't have been any fun.

Sooo, tonight ... Bayern v Real. Any predictions? It's at the Allianz but still think Real will be too much.

Hahaha nah last night I was able to sit back and just enjoy watching them play as well as they did. Just. Save for Mane and Lovren everyone was on fire last night. I am glad that Roma managed to two goals back though. Makes next week even more interesting.
I used to work in a warehouse before going back to decorating a coupla years back. Among the 12 or so people I worked with 5 of them were Liverpool fans. Boy am I glad I don't work there at the moment! They'll absolutely insufferable at the moment.

Bayern/Real tonight I actually can't call this one at all. Last night's I think everyone was looking at Liverpool as firm favourites. There's no outright in this one.

the referee for Bayern/Real is Dutch, so he's winning of course! Two red cards for both teams!

I'm backing Real over the two legs. Ramos's return will be important for them. Also Bayern will be without Vidal and Neuer.

haaa haaa haaa haaa!

i’d like bayern to win of course, but who will stop cronaldo? that guy is something else. in my mind real has the higher chances.

OK, so that's a guaranteed yellow at least for Ramos

Team news in ...





Looking at the two line-ups they are very very close.

Benzema suspended?

I don't think so. I think he's just benched.

bayern has all their arsenal out with robben and ribéry and mueller all at once. they’re not fucking around. and james has been brilliant lately.

worried about defense. rafinha and kimmich. kimmich is great but not whatsisnames caliber. rafinha in where alaba used to be— alaba was injured or something and in recent comeback. i don’t know.

fuckin ronaldo!

oh yeah news say alaba not fit. FML.

Just checked, yeah Benzema's benched. To be fair, he's been pretty shit this season.

so whatsisname = lahm

what i meant is kimmich is no lahm (yet)

well he doesnt have to be “lahm”

here, he said this last week or something

Damn, I'd completely forgotten that Lahm's retired
