Why do you think something tends to be an unpopular opinion? What do you think is the basis for something that's not generally seen in an unpopular fashion?

How can I respect something that's in the realms of stupidity. Of course I'm not going to respect that because it's idiocy. So if a Southampton fan gives me his opinion that their midfield is the best in the world I have to just stand there are respect that? Respecting someone's opinion is used when the opinion is based on something that's disputable or at least based on normality. I'll tell you something mate... You'd be laughed out of every Neapolitan bar in the city of Naples. They wouldn't even take that as a form of partizan support. They'd just treat you like a moron. Especially Neapolitans... They haven't got time for anything they have to start calculating in their head and isn't totally blatant. Anyway... You've had this sort of issue before on here and in the other forum where you come out with ridiculous statements and then you want people to respect them and handle them like opinions that exist in the realm of normality. Remember the Ospina bullshit? A word of advice mate... I'm not asking you to take it because if you don't, just throw it away and don't give me rhetoric. My advice is to not try and be different. My advice is also to understand that the world is diverse and what you believe isn't always the case. I can take someone telling me Busquets isn't the best, but it better be based on substance and the understanding of what's happening. But you come and tell me some second rate team has the second best midfield in the world... It doesn't stop there! Apparently Hamsik is the best 10 in the world. Hahahahaha Stop mixing with cartels and if you do mix with them... SELL THE STUFF. DON'T CONSUME IT!

This forum is a joke! Honestly... Hamsik is the best 10 in the world? Yeah... In your opinion mate. Oh my days! I know they sell a lot of strange stuff in South America, but you seem to be on the strongest stuff of all.

Second you'd put that Napoli midfield ahead of Busquets, Rakitić and Iniesta? You're on drugs! I was drunk... There is nothing to calm down about because I went AWOL! But I stand by my sentiments on who's the best central midfielder in the world. I have no sympathies or have no time for any other argument in this respect.

Joey Barton; "Klopp is just a massive German cheerleader" Speaking ahead of Liverpool's opening game of the Premier League season at Watford – LIVE on talkSPORT – the outspoken star launched a scathing attack on the German and his tactics. And he believes it could be a tough season for the Reds without Philippe Coutinho, who he fully expects to leave for Barcelona this summer. Barton, who is part of talkSPORT's Matchday Live team for 2017/18, said of the popular Klopp: "He is not trophy-laden like Mourinho or Guardiola, so we have to be sceptical of him. "He has gone in with all this charisma and seems a down to earth, nice guy, but I always worry when I see him prancing up and down the touchline. He is like a giant German cheerleader for them! "To be a top manager, you have got to have more than that. He has got a terrible record in finals. "I'm not buying the Klopp aura and that he is this super coach. His career doesn't point that way. "He has got one league title, one cup, in 2011/12. His Dortmund career ended in a hole in the ground. He lost the players, he lost the dressing room. They were fighting relegation. "He had a great season last season against the top seven – phenomenal – but where you step up and win the Premier League is against the bottom 13. Against the bottom 13, he lost six games. Why? Because teams sit in and say 'we are not going to chase you down, harass you, you can have the ball in a certain area of the park and we are going to sit back and counter you', which is what Liverpool have done. "The ego of the big teams is they say 'we have to play against Liverpool and take you on' and that leaves you vulnerable to Liverpool's strengths. The opposite position of that is the teams who say 'actually, you can have the ball, we are not interested' and Liverpool have found that a problem. Are they going to find that more of a problem without Coutinho, a magician who can unlock defences? I would say so. "Liverpool's game plan will be high-intensity, high-distance running, because that is what they did last season and that is what they have done in pre-season. “The players he has bought – Salah, Mane – they are players to get in behind defences. If you take that space away and sit deep, it doesn't matter how quick Salah is and how quick Mane is, that is when you need a Coutinho. "They are not going to have a Coutinho this season. I think it is only a matter of time before he leaves, contrary to what Liverpool people think." The only reason I posted it is because of the "cheerleader" quip! How does Barton convince people to pay him for his football opinions?

But Chambers is more diverse out of the options we have in this particular debate. He has more nouce on the ball. Anyhow... It should be Mustafi and Koscielny together as our first options in the centre of defence.

Just got up... Apologies to Spike or anyone else for my words! I'd just gotten back from a mate's birthday and I was smashed. First time I've drank like that in almost two years. Massive hangover... Brexit?

That reminds me of one of Sacha Baron Cohen's characters for some reason. hahaha

It's all about implications... Forget Kroos!

Seeing as you're from Oz and talking about football coloured underpants. I've actually got two pairs of Aussiebum pants... One in Barça red and blue stripes and the other the same in red and white. I only wear them when there's very big games on like finals and I swear it works. Don't like to tempt fate by wearing them for every game.

If Zidane was a proper coach he'd prove himself at Grimsby.

I've got Calvins on today but they're pinkish with flowers!

I don't know

Özil to Barça? I'll become a Real Madrid fan!!!

Who gives a shit! Modrić and Kroos are the business!!!

Everyone deserves to die! Where's North Korea's Ping Pong Ball or whatever his name is when you need him!

Kroos and Modrić better footballers than Busquets? On here is the first time I've heard this ever! From you! This ins't me... This is everything... The general consensus from people that know about football and not even people like us. But feel free to think what you like. You are entitled to it as I am to think what I've said mate. Haven't lost anything at all... Just astounded at some of the comments (not only on this right here today) I've read in the forum recently. Only last night I had to defend the situation on ONE club being culpable (in the world of football) for leaking signing potentials to the press when this has been going on since football began so as to put pressure on. But if ONE particular club does it... Oh! Then that''s not fair... Not just one particular club, but in Spain in general. Bah! hahahaha... Let's go on and on on this one. I couldn't give a shit. Hit a black hole that's hit a void somewhere in the universe and it's all gone weird.

Someone's pants leaked some pre cum on a previous Premier League player that played for his club. The rest is actually Premier League conditioned because the comments are nonsensical.

What the fuck is wrong with you hahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha (I am actually laughing my head of here mate) WHAT'S SO FUCKING DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND! This is simple football tactics... Everyone in La Liga knows about this, no Madrid based sports newspaper has ever disputed it... Real Madrid play two defensive midfielders (Kroos and Modrić) where as Barça play one!!!! (Busquets) I'l repeat that... Hold on because I'm about to copy and paste... Wait a minute... This is simple football tactics... Everyone in La Liga knows about this, no Madrid based sports newspaper has ever disputed it... Real Madrid play two defensive midfielders (Kroos and Modrić) where as Barça play one!!!! (Busquets) I'll do it one more time because some people here are thick! This is simple football tactics... Everyone in La Liga knows about this, no Madrid based sports newspaper has ever disputed it... Real Madrid play two defensive midfielders (Kroos and Modrić) where as Barça play one!!!! (Busquets) Nobody disputes that Busquets is the best defensive midfielder in the Spanish game (the Spanish game means La Liga). But maybe... MAYBE! M A Y B E... IN ENGERLAND they know moooooore about La Liga than the Spanish journalists and Modrić and Kroos (two playmakers that in Spain weren't good enough to be as such in Spain and were used as a defensive duo) are better TOGETHER than a team that plays one player in that position called Sergio Busquets. Then I have Storts who's distorted when it comes to Modrić letting off gas with a stupid comment. But beforehand I have you (Spike) going all "puttanesca" because I used a term not associated in... Actually I don't know what to say now. You got all leery because it sounded "new fangled. So fucking what! Not everything is a debate in life. I just take people up on stupidity. There's been a lot of it lately in various threads.

What do you mean I have nothing to say you moron? I'm fucking Spanish and it's a fucking term in Spanish. Don't give me shit and try and turn this into a debate that has no foundation to even talk about. I used the term because I understand both fucking languages and it's been used before both here and in the other place. If you don't like it, ignore it and carry on.

I'm gonna add this post here because I don't see it necessary to start some distorted thread anywhere else for what it's worth. But some of the comments I've read here on this forum lately seems that some have entered some sort of black hole or maybe they're butt hurt because of something. I understand the crap about a league dominating constantly... I remember Italy doing it when I was younger although I didn't end up scratching my arse so much trying to look for excuses as to why it was occurring. For me it was just a case of them being better... But here it seems some have had some sort of patriotic nail hammered into their anus. It's as if Brexit isn't enough and that some more elasticity needs to be added to the whole scenario so that even a fist can fit in. I get it... I understand and appreciate it. Barça are scum! They're the utter sun dried dirt you can't wipe off your shoe... Everything they do (even though they do what everyone does) is like Satan has spewed hot vomit all over the sport. Infact I don't know why the Vatican doesn't get involved and sort all of this out because enough is enough. Anyway... If anyone wants to talk real football and actually has some knowledge without spewing utter tripe... Feel free.

Busquets is the best defensive midfielder in the world mate. Like you've never encountered that comment in your life! Come down out of the Premier League cloud and land on football earth.

Modrić and Kroos are played as defensive midfielders at Real Madrid. Infact Modrić has been played there from the first day he set foot in the Santiago Bernabéu... He's not good enough to be a playmaker in Spain.

Don't get me wrong mate because I like you... But you have no idea what you're on about. You're talking crap! This is tactical, and the terminology is used because... Hmmm... Because it's used and it's used in debating a tactical format that may have been used during a game. I can go back to when Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-0 at the Camp Nou (Mourinho's first "Clásico") and the Spanish media called him a chicken for having played a "double pivot" against Barça. It was the first time it had been used in a Clásico and the reason a big deal was made about it is because traditionally when those two meet nobody's meant to pull out. Anyhow... What I'm getting involved for, I have no idea. This was about someone coming out with something retarded on Busquets being past it. He should be banned from the forum.

I'm not using any flavour of the month terminology. It's a Spanish terminology that's also used in Portugal and Italy... It's been used for decades! I'll use it mate, because it's a part of football. Just because some don't know what the hell is going on and a midfielder is just a number of individuals that play in a particular area of the football pitch, that doesn't mean someone can just make an affirmation based on my cat's arse.
