I would really love that both Real and Athletic stood in the First Division, but all these years they have been decaying due to them (and quite proudly so) sticking to their basque players policy (Real not as strictly as Athletic, but still with a mostly basque team). And Real Sociedad has a quite p...

You won't see people in the streets in red tops, but if you ask most footie fans they will say that. Number boy? I am more of a follower of Real Sociedad in Spainish footba...

For me Jaidi always looked like a set piece player. A bit like Becks, incredible to have on dead balls, but essentially playing with 10 men otherwise.

He's good, but no world-beater. Best played at the wing due to being deceptively quick given his body type, good ball control and strength (so he's not easily dispossessed), and having a nasty cross in him. He is also an adequate header.

I remember when we were going to sign him, but we didn't want to pay the amounts Depor wanted (Lendoiro, their chairman, is known as one of the best con artists in the league). Then all of a sudden Newcastle came crashing in with a €15m bid and some fat wages, and everybody was like w-what? :crazy: ...

Do you want to upset a Man City fan? Just tell them they aren't a big club. I posted that on the old 606 messageboard once, based on their financial position (skint), falling attendances and lack of honours over the past 30 years. 144 replies in an hour, ranging from tearful to murderous. Great fun...

For me, a "big club" is just one that can achieve a privileged league position over the years, preferably with silverware. For me it's something mostly measured in recent years than cups won where the dinosaurs were about. A big club should also have decent bouncebackibility, being able to recover p...

But we're not jailing footballers for racist remarks. Their private employers (clubs and FA) fine them and don't allow to take part in their privately organized competitions. That's the kind of self-regulation that society should engage when combating this kind of racism. Richards will probably see ...

The hecklers are suing? :roll: Really the States have a surplus of lawyer population. They won't be suing because he had a blast back at them; that's life.

Sometimes I'm grateful to live in a semi-socialist country. Here my degree costed me a meager 3000€ in fees for 4 years! How much does it cost you in England? And yes, everybody and their dogs have titles now, but most of our employers won't ever look at your resumé if you lack an uni degree. Actual...
