but mid table flirts with europa and the added dates

it’s hard to just coast

It's a nice problem to have but WH fans are a way from having to ponder it right now. Establishing themselves as a safe upper mid-table club (becoming Everton, basically) is the dream atm. WH have been a disaster for years so it's baby steps all the way for me.

update on the Guardian's top 100: 100-11

I mean...he's a dickhead, but there's no denying he's a great player.

Just looked now. Swear they pick em out of a hat. Is there anyone who'd say Pogba is "better" than David Silva. Just cos Pogba was in the team that won the world cup doesn't mean he's had a better all round season. Bonkers. Might as well Giroud about him whilst you're at it.

demonrail666 12.21.2018 05:46 AM

Yeah, too much seems based on the World Cup.

And just seen they've revealed the final 10 now

1. Modric
2. Ronaldo
3. Messi
4. Mbappe
5. Salah
6. Griezmann
7. Hazard
8. De Bruyne
9. Kane
10. Kante

Good showing for the Prem. 5 players compared with 3 from La Liga, 1 from Serie A and 1 from Ligue 1. Highest ranked Bundesliga player (Lewandowski) only makes #30

!@#$%! 12.21.2018 07:35 AM

bundesliga is stuck in the mud at the moment. not surprised there.

demonrail666 12.21.2018 09:59 AM

3 x France
2 x Belgium
1 x Croatia
1 x Portugal
1 x Argentina
1 x England
1 x Egypt

Interesting there isn't a single Spanish player in the top 10, and just checking past lists there hasn't been any since 2014 (Inesta #4 and Xavi #8).

Also no Italian player since the Guardian started doing these top 100s (2012)

!@#$%! 12.21.2018 10:30 AM

off the top of my head i cant think of a max-level football spaniard

de gea is arguably a great keeper but that might be hard to perceive between spain’s world cup performance and manchester united’s record. and he had a big part to play on spain’s debacle if im not mistaken. i havent seen enough of man u to assess him there but 6th place is not exactly the spotlight.

!@#$%! 12.21.2018 11:05 AM

o wait! silva! (i just looked at the list)

but see.... it’s not always though
i have seen now the brilliance that you speak of
but it’s more in flashes than a day in/day out thing i believe

Anyone been watching the new documentary on Netflix about Sunderland? Honestly worth a watch and I definitely prefer it to the Man City one from earlier this year.
Two things that I love-how many former Everton players were in the squad none of whom are any good, and symbols, if you think I get too into football with my rants you should see some of the people on this. Makes me look like Ghandi in comparison.

I'd actually be interested to see what symbols thinks of it. And if he can decipher some of the accents :D

!@#$%! 12.22.2018 07:13 AM

hahaha the accents! i hope they have subtitles....

im off netflix at the moment, but plan to get on it periodically to catch up with things. currently only using amazon, but i saw the man city thing on amazon.

what’s the name of it?

I loved the 1st episode. What a relief to find a club that's worse run than West Ham.

EDIT: Not that I can really moan about West Ham right now - annoyingly enough.

demonrail666 12.22.2018 01:46 PM

So it looks like Liverpool's league bid really is on.

EDIT: Watched Man U Cardiff. MU rampant. Obviously players with something to prove.

_tunic_ 12.22.2018 02:52 PM

two fun facts:


1. Frank De Boer is very close to becoming the new coach of the MLS team in Atlanta. The analyst on Dutch TV said it's a degradation for him, that he couldn't get a proper club in Europe anymore, because he left most of them prematurely and therefore was forced to seek a club overseas.
That analyst is a douchebag btw, anyone ever hear of the term "realistic football"? That doesn't make any sense, e.g. in the sentence "this club (I think it was VVV) likes to play realistic football", and then claiming that their defence sucks because of it.


2. The mom of Matthijs De Ligt was my oldest sister's best friend in high school. They don't see each other anymore though, and I never met him. So I can't arrange any VIP tickets for anyone sorry :(

!@#$%! 12.23.2018 07:49 AM

wat da fuc, crystal palace beat man city????

lester chelsea too bit of a suprise but not nearly.

holy fuc! 3-1? howww

sorry about west ham but mid table is good right?

-

everton spurs predictions?

h8kurdt 12.23.2018 09:10 AM

If Everton eek out a draw then it's better than a kick up the bum. I'm torn between watching the game or it's a wonderful life.
