My comment was a bit tongue in cheek mate, but over all I have little sympathy for footballers who get well paid for what they do. He has every right to his opinion and we have every right to dismiss his opinion.

We as fans probably can't understand just how far removed from real work professional players are right now.

Okay; that sailed over my head. They are playing more games than players 20 years ago; that much isn't in question. But it's a life so far removed from us plebs. I work 9 hrs a day, five days a week in a factory. And, at a guess, they'll be on slightly more than I am. Don't get me wrong; I understand that skilled workers will naturally earn more than unskilled ones. And I don't begrudge them their salaries. Well; not much, anyway. One week of KDB's wages would set me up for life.

Why do they cut to Ferdinand, he offers zero tactical insight.

I've got it on bein sports 1.
Only trouble is I can't tell if the commentator is pissed or if he's sat on the microphone.
But it's better than coke head camel gob

If they don't want to play as many games.
Do something else.
If they had a year or two on a building site on 50k a year they would soon change the tune

Great touch and finish from Tielemans.

Great touch and finish from Tielemans.

But who was supposed to be marking him?

I wonder if I'll ever be grown up enough to not find the wankdorf stadium funny

No. I will never forget the headline years ago when the stadium was being built: "Young Boys Wankdorf Erection Relief." :)

Edited to contain the correct headline:

The way commentators and pundits go on about set piece coaches is mind numbingly boring.

A sport has a person in charge of an aspect of the game, shocker!

Greedy from Watkins, he should have passed it to his left.

I wish I had a tenner for every time they've mentioned the surface.
