@Riou

He's absolutely spot on!! The sport is becoming so mechanized players are now virtually automatons that it's losing its essence & charm.

Props to him for naming Spain as the culprit in this. Their passing to death bollocks almost destroyed the game when Pep came to the helm at Barca. Now, he & his Lego-headed disciple are intent on re-enacting that atrocity in the PL.

Bring him to the carpet !!!

What he says is such an honest truth.
It makes a remarkable connection to what Arsène always used to predict about football being an art.

Sadly football is not an art anymore, it is an industry.

It’s true, we are creating too many games in players heads, and it’s taking away from the spectacle.

And we must be accept and be honest that Arteta is one of the individuals of what he is describing in terms of micromanaging everything and taking away the player creativities.

And I really agree with @Sapient Hawk, Pep has done irreparable damage to the beauty of football. His tiki-taka bullshit shifted the concept of football, the gegenpressing only can be seen as a counter effect to the tikitaka bullshit.

Funny how they want DEI in everything, but not sport. About time there was an Indian or two in every lineup.

Filthy Fellas podcast, 100% the best football podcast...funniest one out there.

On the "Top 10 left wingers this season" episode, Vuj had to leave early as he was starving...saying his goodbyes he called someone by the wrong name...

Spec "Wow, when Vuj gets hungry he gets racist!"

Tego: "That's the excuse John Terry should have used"

...GOAT football podcast

If that were Jon Moss the fan could've given him half a day head start & still caught up with his fat arse.

Marie-Louise Eta makes history by guiding Union Berlin to victory

Marie-Louise Eta made history on Sunday as she became the first female coach to take charge of a Bundesliga fixture, guiding Union Berlin to victory over Darmstadt.

This is proper journalism only if you ignore the fact that Danijel Jumic, who is a man, was the one that took charge of the game for Union Berlin.

After Matchday 24, this is the Top 4 of the Turkish Süper Lig. I mean, I said before the season that Gala and Fener may have assembled two greatest squads in the history of the league and there's a large gap between them and the rest, but ****ing hell.

It looks like the Trabzonspor manager needs to get sacked. Those four straight losses seem to have dented their title hopes

IPTV: Man jailed for selling online access to TV football

Paul Merrell must pay back £91,243 after a confiscation order is secured against him.

www.bbc.co.uk

"A man has been jailed after raking in tens of thousands of pounds selling unlawful subscriptions to watch football matches online...as well as his 12-month sentence, Paul Merrell, 42, must pay back £91,243 after a confiscation order was secured against him at Birmingham Crown Court...Merrell, from Birmingham, was convicted of copyright crimes committed between 2017 and 2021."

Good thing your gambling addiction and underground animal fighting rings allow you to rake in 6 to 7 figure yearly income @GDeep™ , so that £90,000 is pocket change to you...hope your prison sentence passes quickly too bro
