Great news. The BBC is not great, but it is much better than ITV and there are no breaks. Hopefully they will improve the quality of punditry, but I doubt it.

I think you have got it wrong. German clubs don't particularly rate their own very highly and can always get cheap ones. That apart German clubs have no money except for Wolfsburg and Bayern. The rest spend less than most Premier League clubs. German players are worth getting, because they have...

I wonder if he will stay one more season. The comments from Dortmund are positive. I don't see Reus leaving for the sake of leaving either. Unless it's Madrid or Bayern, I think there is a very good chance he gives it one more year. Could be very wrong.

I don't care about it and think FFP is a joke. There should be rules to ensure that if an owner does invest, then the money is not loaned, but actually put into the club. Situations where clubs owe the owner hundreds of millions should not be allowed. Instead of restricting FFP they should limit...

This side are a poor, poor imitation of the old side. Messi and Neymar are clinical, but then again so were Villa, Messie, Pedro or Messi, Henery, Etoo. This side has only a very good midfield and a poor defence. Would be a very poor result for Bayern to lose to them. Neymar has been fantastic...

Yes, but I guess you are probably aware that Costa has only stepped up onto the next level in the last 3 and half years. One of those years he did not play as the main striker he played out wide, whilst Falcao did. In those 3 and half years including when he was playing out wide he has stats...

Sometimes I say things in the heat of the moment, but change my mind when I calmed down. Sometimes I exaggerate my point then realise I have gone too far. Costa has just twice stamped on someone. If you mean it then fair enough, but the stats and just watching the big games don't support that...

That sounds really good. Arsenal now have all their players back and I wonder if this will confuse Wenger. Hopefully he does not try and fit all his best players in the same team. He should make the big choices between Ozil/Carzola, Walcott/Chamberlain, Ramsey/Rosicky and Giroud/Welbeck. For...

Do you really believe this? Costa the guy who has scored in cup finals against Madrid, against Chelsea in the Champions League semi final and is currently the top goal scorer in the league cannot do it against the big boys? He should have been sent off today and crossed the line, but Chelsea's...

I don't want to even think about what I would give for this to be true, but it's impossible. My dislike for Arsenal has really softened, I probably would want Arsenal out of the main three contenders.

Different time. Different game now. Only an idiot would risk violence in a world cup quarter final. With all the camera's and video replays now you will get caught. That apart I have never believed in not reporting incidents. Attacking someone on a football pitch is not particularly brave or...

It's such an open CL. The most open for years. So many teams capable of beating each other. Always been a big fan. Would have been world class and one of the best midfielders in the world if not for injuries in my opinion.

No it's not, but I was just referring to Ronaldo not being able to take a kicking. He certainly can and has before. As for your last comment I am not sure which indicent you are referring to. I may be wrong, but Rooney stamped on Carvalho when he got sent off. It was a clear red. I don't see...

I cannot help myself I am starting to have stupid deluded thoughts. If Bolton can knock out Liverpool and United can get Arsenal then there is hope we can with a lucky draw make the semi-final. Now I have said that we will draw Arsenal away and lose or worse lose to someone like Bradford.

That's not really fair. For a modern player Ronaldo can take a kicking and unlike others he never backs down. He does dive and roll on the floor though. You can never kick Ronaldo and make him afraid to keep playing. Still nothing compared to what players of the past went through.

Unbelievable how they glory this blatant assault and ignore that it led to United thugs killing an innocent man. He is a despicable **** and ***** wearing his mask last year could have started real trouble. It's infuriating the media spend time on this rather than trying to find Paul Dixon's...

No he is nothing like Aguero when it comes to injuries. Aguero like is injury prone like say Walcott or RVP or Robben was. He may eventually outgrow the problem like Fabregas appears to, but you can pretty much bet on Aguero missing a good chunk of the season. It's why lots of people predicted...

I am not so sure. Dortmund can afford to pay he a comparatively decent wage now. The sticking point is winning trophies. If something happens and Madrid pull out, I think he is mre likely to stay at Dortmund than move to England.

Neymar has coped better, but I guess he has had more time. It's true Messi is the main man in a bad way at Barcelona. A bit like Ronaldo is now, the aim of the game seems to be to set up Messi/Ronaldo rather than score sometimes. Suarez is a better player for me than Sanchez. Sanchez did...

Yeh he looke decent at the world cup, but then Perisic looked better than Hazard at the world cup too. 30 million seems to be a lot of money for someone that appears that unproven. It will be good for Schurrle and Salah to leave though. Mourinho does not trust them and they can progress their...
