    Until he wins the Euros, Zidane has had a better international career. World Cup win against that Brazil team won him the Balon d'Or too. 

    Zidane also stood out in quite literally one of the strongest international teams of all time with superstar world class players in every single position in an era of strong international football.

    On a lean course with work in Manchester, so i’m staying at Old Trafford cricket ground for the night. 
     

    Any recommendations nearby for meals out etc? Not sure who to ask… @DeadLinesman?

    Going to be staying over once a week for the next 5 weeks. 

     

    Sorry mate, only just seen this. You’d best just get the tram into either town or Salford Quays. I’m partial to an Almost Famous burger in town. Fucking amazing.

    It just goes to show, you don't need to have first hand experience to provide good insight. It's one of many aspects that might help but beyond that, there's no reason why men or women (or even former professionals or amateurs) should be any more or less well-placed than others to know what they're talking about in a studio covering a football match.

    Wholeheartedly agree with this. As stated before, I’m not defending Barton, just pointing out that his experiences as a Premier League football player are far more pertinent when speaking persay from experience. However, from a tactics and analysis points of view, you don’t need to have played the game to know what you’re talking about. Souness is the prime example of a player that won everything and yet knows almost nothing about the sport.

    The point being though is the irony. 

    Barton is speaking out like he's some kind of beacon which he thinks gives him the right to speak about the men's game. 

    But he wants to silence women in the game even though those women have more experience of the game than he does, at a better level. 

    The minutes of international football isn't really the big screaming talking point. 

    It's the fact he thinks he's so up there with an opinion that everyone else's doesn't matter with the pathetic logic that 'they didn't play the game'. But that doesn't really apply. It's just so narrow-minded to think this. 

    Bianca Westwood wrote a fantastic piece last night to show her feelings on the whole thing. She conceded that women's football is behind men's football. But there's no wonder that's the case when you think how much of a men's industry it was off the field. Loads of people (white men) in an echo chamber and women's voices weren't heard. 

    So yeah, women's football isn't the best. It doesn't claim to be. It just wants to be heard and thankfully it is continuing to do so at a high trajectory. When cunts like Barton come along with his outdated views, it somewhat puts it back a bit because the following he has. 

    So yeah, I disagree that debate is dead on this site. But I don't disagree with what Whiskey actually said, and I can't see where anyone did. What Tommy said also isn't wrong. That particular example of Alex Scott is a perfect one because of all the barriers she had to break down to get that high. 

    Whilst I agree with the vast majority of all points on this thread, women’s international football isn’t on the same level as championship football, let alone the Premier League and other top levels. As much of a compete cunt bellend he is, Joey Barton has far more experience of men’s elite football than Alex Scott. However, I’d still rather listen to her.

    @DeadLinesman you still watching NFL? 

    You watching Jets vs Dolphins by any chance? 

     

    Sorry mate, only just seen this. After JJ got injured and Kirk died, I’ve kinda switched off as my Vikes have no chance this season.
