Don't think he is the best though. He rarely of ever scored against the big teams. But he is under appreciated by some for shore All time for England, not the the PL. He was hugely underappreciated, and I am thoroughly enjoying him at DC and seeing him embarrass some of these teams. Plus, he made one of the most stunning plays I've ever seen in the MLS. 95th minute against Orlando and he did this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Rooney is the most talented striker in England's history. I don't think that's that unpopular of an opinion. I don't agree with it (Alan Shearer existed) - but I've heard the argument made plenty of times, and there's lots you can point to that support that argument.

Plus a thirty game season reduces the 21%, so you could effectively wipe out all midweek fixtures, meaning those in Europe are fresher for it, plus it may, however unlikely, see clubs take cup competitions a little more seriously due to the reduced amount of games elsewhere. It’d never happen because of money and TV, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie 3,254 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I think 18 works really well. 24 in the champo is fucking mental, europe or no. 2 cups is also a shitshow, but this has already been discussed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 This Premier League season has been the poorest for a long while. City and Liverpool are the saving grace on this season. Nobody seems to have the consistency and quality to win the mythical fourth place trophy, there’s been a battle for the last European space and while we’ve had numerous frontrunners for that at different times of the season, again consistency has been a problem, two of the bottom three have been down since November and the quality of lower mid table sides is awful, Brighton are my case in point. They’re awful and staying up with relative ease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of consistency can come from a more competitive league. Edited May 9, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Same with Man City, they're only winning the league because Nottingham Forest are shit. As a powerful institution they by right can play better football than anyone else, they're just having an off 40 years but when they get it right again Man City will fall right down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because English sides have performed well in European competition, that doesn’t mean they’ve automatically had a good season in domestic football, barring Liverpool, who have.

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 As exciting as this all is in Europe, I do think we miss a traditionally defensive, frustrating side. Italy seems to have abandoned that completely now and the self-destruction of Mourinho leaves a bit of a void in terms of the spoilers in football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a country has a stadium that ranks in the top 5 in the WORLD for average attendance for domestic league football, then obviously parts of the country cares.
