Both Ince and Keane got underrated in the broader discussion of great CMs because people primarily focused on them being tough tackling runners as if all their work was to do the dirty work for...

Discussion about missed opportunities in Europe was interesting. They brought up Ole missing the target with a chance late on at Leverkusen but if memory serves me right Forlan had an effort cleared...

Every Arsenal fan I know raved about Abou Diaby having all the makings of a top midfielder if only he stayed fit. Very technically gifted but also had size and presence unlike the rest of that team....

I think Neville goes too far the other way in commentary of trying to not come across biased. Compare it to Carragher who shrieks in excitement at Liverpool scoring an important goal. I think some of...

I'd say Shearer because I believed it was going to happen. And in 96' he hadn't yet had that knee injury which ended up changing the way he played.

Sneijder is one I was excited for too and was...

I like his personality and career path. He got a bit of luck that Eddie Howe broke off talks with Celtic after not getting a guarantee over backroom staff. And I doubt he was Levy's first choice but...

Sturridge being only 34 is a surprise. His career height was when Rodgers was Liverpool msnager and that season they missed the title was ten years ago. I know he had injuries a lot but still feels...

He's good at sticking a foot in and initially winning the ball off an opponrnt but he is struggling to move it on quickly and often turns into trouble. I can't see him staying beyond this season. If...

A pithy opening, a fleshed out middle and a randomly aggressive end. If it wasn't for the good grammar I'd think you were Samuel Luckhurst himself.

I'm more inclined to think it is just conveniently made up rather than sourced by a player. Football reporting is an easy cycle to be in. Whenever a PL manager gets sacked The Athletic will get out...

Luckhurst in particular is a weirdo. I think it is well known he got his start passing gossip on RI as exclusives as a blogger. Likened Ferguson to Robert Mugabe before the second CL Final versus...

It's largely down to the fact there is no obvious replacement that I don't think he will be sacked any point during this season. Could be wrong but if you look at the names who currently have no team...

I think his sweeping outside the box is generally fine. That's what stuck out to me when I saw Inter's run to the CL Final and why we bought him. Obviously the main role of being a goalkeeper is...

Falcao was still having his chant sung to the end even though he was useless and there was no chance of the second year option being taken up.

To be fair it was catchy and there was incredible...

Spurs got about 10m from Leicester for Harry Winks in a separate deal this summer so the price they paid for Maddison looks great. If we were doing succession planning for Bruno he would have been...

I thought they'd messed it up taking Son off and putting Richarlison up front. Last week they did it too and the momentum to win the game went. Kulusevski was pretty awful in my view. Every time the...

Maddison is running the show here. He has a nice turn of pace to get away from a marker. But Richarlison as the striker after Kane doesn't look right at all. The ball bounces away from him a lot...
