Whereas you could easily say that those with a passionate interest in football have such blinkered views and their heads so embedded in the sand that they are often oblivious to what else is happening in the country or the world.

Yes, and you could also say that divvies who havent got a clue about football, dont show much of an interest and are not passionate about it should be outed for divvy opinions, which normally when challenged sees them skulk off cos thay cant put a decent and fuller argument together.
 
Not PL but still football related. Saw this article today and forget the bit about her tweets, not interested in that bit. The bit that caught my attention is the fact she was capped 102 times for England but is only the joint 10th most capped player!! How many games do the Lioness's play?!?!

Utter ridiculous isn't it? Alex Scott last cap was 2017 .. she is 35 now so was 32.. she has 140 caps. That's 15 more than Peter shilton who is the record holder for the men's team

And Scott isn't even the highest capped!

She is 4th

First has 172 caps

That'll be Fara Williams then, made her debut in 2001 and is still currently classed as an England player from what I can see. She is only 36 and would me has an average of 9.5 England appearances a year?

Which when you look at a 19 year international career, if she played every tournament and qualification game is easily achievable. I think it's because the ladies have longer international careers than most male players.

They have a hell of lot less club games than the men as well. Especially 5, 10, 15 years ago. I guess there were more internationals in women's football to fill that void a little bit.

If you think those are big numbers have a look at the USA women's players. THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR CAPS. I'm sure plenty of stats are missing or don't exist but it says she only played 63 club games. :LOL:
 
Liverpool acted like a big club and beat a very good Blackburn side, despite it potentially helping their big rivals to win the league.

Very different to last year when Man United acted like a small club, and let city walk all over them (their 2nd biggest rival), despite fighting like caged lions a few weeks before when their biggest rival come to town.

Am I right?

You are right and they were then and are now and have been since I first saw them so many years ago. The supporters were as happy as The Rovers’ fans for obvious reasons.

Fortunately West Ham stepped up to save you the embarrassment of handing United the league ? (and a chorus of “Bubbles” was sung in the Blackburn dressing room, led by Tony Gale!)
 
Has everybody picked a Bundesliga team yet?
I can recommend Werder Bremen. Not for the current quality of football, just because ;-(
