Willy Donachie & Glyn Pardow would disagree

They might. I wouldn’t know.

Before my time ;-)

You're going back a few years now.
I was stretching it a bit with Terry Phelan

True, I have read alot of your posts, which are very fair, although you do go a bit overboard on your analysis of former and present Sporting players....you would think they would have a few chumps league titles based on them! ;)
........and the whinger is not world class at any stretch.

To be fair three of the players I rate the most are former Benfica players ;)

As for the current Sporting players I only post the ones I believe can play at a higher level.

Their is some talent in the Benfica team I will post as well but as for Porto only Diogo Costa has enough to play in a better league in my opinion.

...maybe I should have said Portuguese players ;)

On here, you could try to debate that CR39 is better than Paul Dickov.

You’d lose, whatever stats and reasoning you put up.

Haha that’s fair!….although my “main squeeze” right now is Diomande.

However, Ugarte, Grimaldo, Luis Diaz and Porro are recent guys I really rated from Portuguese league.

Dutch league I have many guys I enjoy to watch as well like Santiago Giménez and some other names. Although like I said I only post guys who o genuinely think would interest blue moon and can play a higher level.

That’s one of the things I enjoy most about bluemoon is talking about other players that normally don’t get spoken as much as the world class players of the game.

Is that the San Francisco version of saying politely that he's a wanker?

It’s a Yank’s way of saying he embodies all the characteristics of why so many Americans don’t like soccer pla . . . errr, footballers.

As closely as I follow City and the Prem, I so wish I had time to follow other leagues too. Not that I’d ever love any other side — the interest would just be more for fun and intellectual/sporting enjoyment. Portugal would be a great place to start as I’ve been to every city there — partial to Braga because that stadium with the sheer cliff on one end is so cool :)

I agree he will walk before Christmas.
Said it early in the thread
He is fukin gutless

I said he’d be gone by Xmas on the eve of the cup final.

It’s the pattern, raise expectations then gone.
