Yeah I know, I was going to announce it as the winning team but I thought the Scousers would get all uppity ?

Bound to be some arguments of "my 5 aside team could beat your 5 aside team". Then there will be someone who presents some detailed statistics of every player in all the teams, which will evidentially "prove" that their 5 aside team is the best of all. Then there will be arguments that the stats have been hand picked, and mean nothing anyway, as it is about how players gel as a team, etc etc.

I get what you guys are saying. I don't think anyone means all goalkeeper captains were bad captains. It just means they're a bit limited in their contribution. If an argument breaks out in the opponent's box and your players need calming down, the keeper has to run 100 yards to do so. Generally over contentious decisions the captain should speak to the ref on behalf of his players (that's how it used to be anyway), and again, the keeper may have to cover a lot of ground in order to do so. At Spurs Lloris is our captain, and I'm sure he's been great, the players all respect him and so on, but on the pitch I'd probably rather it had been Kane (prior to this season anyway ?). Then again, as was said earlier, you need more than one leader on the pitch so perhaps Kane is one of those who doesn't need the armband (again... prior to this season maybe ?).

Kane does tick the midfielder box
 
Some great teams ?

Also amazing to see some proper football legends that have played in the English league

Walker , Lineker, Waddle ,

Would be a cracking tournament

Used to love the Indoor Masters

EASSSY W last night for the villa.

What a first half performance and what a goal from Ramsey!

Villa under Gerrard are different gravy!

I thought Villa were pretty decent last night, but it would have been a much tougher match had we not had soooooooooooo many injuries / covid absentees. Seems a bit unfair the game went ahead given United and Spurs didn't when they had COVID problems (guess who our last two games were against?!).

Edit: this isn’t sour grapes by the way, villa can only beat the team that’s in front of them and it was a deserved win. As a club with a comparatively minuscule budget in the PL, any game with so many key players missing is going to be very tough. Just have to hope that the injury crisis subsides and the covid outbreak doesn’t worsen! Unlikely we’ll have any hope of significant improvement before Xmas though!

Sad to hear that Sergio Aguero has formally announced his retirement due to his heart condition. Blessing that it never seemed to give rise to serious problem whilst on the pitch. What a great player, and for that moment in Man City history, most football fans - and if we are truthful about it we all thrilled to that moment - will celebrate for as long as…
