Similar to a recent article on England players where they described Walker as ex Spurs player and Sterling as ex dipper, it's as though they purposely don't want to mention you know who.

Who?

Article by Saeyeed in the Times today. Basic theme is pundits are useless and cant predict anything accurately. Especially bad at predicting whether a managerial appointment will be good or bad. On the opposite page an article saying Emery will be a brilliant manager of Arsenal. Wait for it, wait for it..........written by......Alyson Rudd. BOOM.

And no coverage highlighting that in all competitions his team had scored more goals in the entire history of English football (and just one behind the all-time record for European leagues) The media spent most of their time denigrating him. This week Danny Murphy said he was a "strange choice" for West Ham. Manuel's managerial CV includes River Plate, Real Madrid, Villareal, and City! Perhaps the Hammers should have got pundits' choice Fat Sam back!

Danny Murphy proved himself to be a hater of attacking football after he advised teams to kick our players. His opinion doesn't count anymore IMO.

What amazes me is how stupid pundits are when it comes to assessing players. They keep repeating the mantra that Pogba is a great player (after impressing in a hugely dominant Juve team in the sub-standard and incredibly slow Italian league).
His stats show he is an average player with a career best of 8 league goals in one season for Juve. His performance has been worse than Lingard this season. He is just not that good. Two of Britain's best ever midfield players Souness and Scholes say they don't rate him yet the rest of the pundits continue to say he is world class and it's all Peg's fault that he is not playing well.

We’re the Voldemort of British football ‘they who must not be named’

You’re new to the CIES then I take it?

Thought it was some new Daily Mail work experience guy’s initials?

No I am aware of it. But think its a pointless comparison and pointless ranking.

Great to see Otamendi in 4th and Ronaldo in 16th though in this valued comparison.

Actually a good article in the muen about the double standards we have to put up with.
