The 2015-16 World Fitba Thread!

Nope.

 

They likely are. Fitbaw is shite these days but the disagreeable fact that teams now would pretty much all beat teams from 20 years ago. I'd bet big on that.

 

I'm not so sure. Guys like Scholes were still pulling the strings right up to 2013. In fact, United haven't come close to a title since his retirement

 

Take the Liverpool team of 1987-1988 and put them on the same regimen as todays guys for a few seasons....I reckon they could hang with anyone.

 

It's a wee bit difficult fer the English laddies tae make comparisons from the '85 tae '91 era, as Liverpool goat all o' they teams ejected from European competition, like. Whit can be said is that in the eighties, Liverpool teams were more proven than post '86 Liverpool sides.

 

Oh I'm sure the individuals are just as talented, maybe more so but the fitness and the tactical adaptations the fitness allows are real, imo. Im certain that defences are more organised/harder to break down and that strikers get less space

 

How much "space" did Peter Beardsley need..........you could get him into a jiffy bag.

 

Footballers don't drink as much booze these days.

 

BLACK CARD 29 mins Galway 0-07 Derry 0-03

Brendan Rodgers is shown a black card for a body check. Looked a little harsh. Liam McColdrick then fouls Peadar Og O Griofa and Paul Conroy curls the free over beautifully from wide out on the left

 

Rumors of Gotze to Juventus. I doubt it but who knows anymore.

 

Juventus going to be schtrong if he makes the move, especially if they keep Pongba.

 

McShake, just watching a bit o' Beeb and they had a wee clip o' Bowie singing 'Jean Genie' from '73... noo, ma question is; whit exactly are Jimmy snacks?

 

Snacks you give to jimmy to loosen him

 

Not a chance mate.

Keegan's 1995/6 Newcastle side would challenge for the title year on year in the present league. No doubt I think in my mind about that. Ditto the LFC side that year. And the Man Utd one (the one with Scholes, Beckham, Giggs, Keane, Cantona et al in it)

MTF

 

Or Waddle? Gascoigne? Le Tissier? Cantona? Hoddle? Barnes? Sheringham?...

MTF

 

Le Tissier needed space.

 

::

Gazza was a fat cunt as well. Waddle a lazy hippy-looking bastard. Barnes was a fat cunt with an enormous penis. Maradonna looked like a fucking fat gnome.

MTF

 

Where did this about Diggers penis come from :dunno:

 

::

Yeah Feebes, why did you just bring up Barnes' shlong for no reason?

 

Lets hope Sly doesn't stick his head into this thread it might tip him over the edge

 

I was watching some old footy footage from the 1980's at my brother's house last night and out came John Barnes, appendage reaching the centre circle in those preposterous tight shorts before his torso crossed the touchline. Everyone in the room sort of double took and burst out laughing. A couple hours later, I was posting in this thread...

Found out why I was so wasted last Sunday - two lines of ketamin. I had flashbacks of dancing down great Western road and woke up having lost my keys and bank card and couldn't work out how it happened. Another case solved

 

So no one is following the greatest tournament in the world yet?

The Europa League. West Ham fans got to visit the Faroe Islands courtesy of the Fairplay rule.

 

My mistake. It was Andorra.

 

That's faroe nuff, laddie.

 

Good video.

Last time I was in Liverpool (three months ago) many of the pubs were not accepting pounds from the Bank of Scotland.

I asked why and they said they got hit with a rash of fake Scottish notes.
