Willie Miller's tache Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 On 5/11/2020 at 9:35 AM, fringo said: Yeah I saw it a few weeks ago. Really interesting especially their trip to play Corinthians in Brazil. Well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it. I think that was part of a series of numerous films BT Sport have shown in the last 6-7 weeks featuring several sports. One of the other ones that stood out was Apartheid in South African sport. Quite a few decent films shown by BT sports recently. Liked the ones about Wimbledon’s rise from non league to FA cup winners in the 80s and Forest being double European cup winners under clough. Will look out for apartheid in South African sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a patch on Hartlepool though, went to a national league game there, was absolutely bouncing. Who knew they hated Darlington so much... 🤷♂️ My brother supports for hartlepool for some bizarre reason (ok, when he was about 5 listening to Frank bough reading out the classifieds, he was convinced he was saying “hairy poo United”. Naturally, he found it hilarious and has been an ardent supporter since - ~45 years). Anyway, I’ve been to a fair few away games with him and about 90% of the songbook is about their hatred for darlo, ranging from their dodgy chairman to their botched and embarrassing attempt to sign asprilla. Tbh, I don’t think there’s much, if any, by way of their own past glories for ‘pool fans to sing about. Getting to the giddy heights of the league 1 play off final seems a v long time ago now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no doubt he had a v difficult early life but you just wonder if things would have worked out differently for his brother (the one person who had been with him from the start) if he had treated him a bit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ramy 1314 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 A must watch.. "Futbol De Primera. 20 Anos". Its only 2 episodes. But holy fuck the goals, football, fans, it's incredible. Argentine football in the 80s and early 90s. I have never seen such quality football and the goals.. Its new on Netflix.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt back it of course haha. Barca have been pretty poor for a couple.of years and got away with it. Bayern have been great and play like Barca used to, so intense, even at 8-2 up they were still chasing and putting pressure on. Was great to watch as a game. Kinda sad as a Barca fan. Messi could leave unless they make some major changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde1998 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Just seen Lewandowski's goals per game ratio is 1.2 this season, the same as Messi's peak in 2011-12, with a higher ratio in the Champions League than his overall ratio (1.75 per game).

Tiny Tim Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I’ve actually enjoyed this European football more over the last couple of weeks than I have for the last 20 years. Need to scrap these two leg affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to scrap these two leg affairs. I wish they would, makes the ties much more interesting and tense - teams have to turn up on the day. If we'd had a second leg, the better teams would get a second chance if they mess up the first leg. They wouldn't though, as that reduces the number of games they can market for TV. A Leipzig-Lyon final is entirely possible; I wouldn't put it past Lyon beating Bayern, as their style of play may be more suited to beating them than Barcelona's or Man City's. Notably, Leipzig and Lyon were in the same group; Benfica, who came third, were knocked out the Europa League last 32 by Shakhtar - who are in the semis of that competition.
