Well no, scholes and Phil Neville are boring uninsughtful and thick as two planks, shearer too. All incredible successful footballers and none particularly dislikeable.

In terms of knowing about the game, yes I think a fan (or in my prior point, journalist) who has watched thousands of games at multiple levels over several decades is just as qualified as an ex player to give an opinion, it just happens that the opinion is from a different viewpoint. Joey was talented enough and athletic enough to have a football career, that doesn’t mean his opinions are any more valid than an educated observer with a genuinely strong passion and interest, and he certainly shouldn’t be belittling someone else’s view just because they haven’t played the game.

He’s no more than a school ground bully who people mistake for being insightful just because he goes against the grain.
But no one cares about fans viewpoints though, you can walk into any pub in the country, or any message board in the world, and hear the viewpoint of someone who's seen thousands of games and they are, by definition, going to be extremely limited in comparison to someone who's been involved at a professional level since their late teens, no matter how important or educated the observer thinks they are, they will only ever be an observer.

Its amazing how deluded some fans are in this repect, although many on here will find that tough to read.

The entire concept of this is so stupid, the only reason that Neymar and Coutinho fees are so huge are the financial doping of PSG, Real Madrid aren't going to be swinging that kind of money around.
I disagree - the only way Perez stays in power is by the galacito signing, and the revenue those stars then generate. Next election is in 2021, so he won’t want to be going in 2019 lagging behind Barca, PSG and City...

We aren’t going to agree on this but that’s fine, I don’t need your approval to know I’m right ;)

Talk Sport have given him the opportunity to spout his nasty little opinions and i suspect the braver he gets the likelihood he'll make an absolute twat of himself that will lead to the inevitable sacking...He's mental case at the very least
Watch it, mate, Joey just bought some Hamlet Cigars

If that is 12 weeks then I guess the baby will be due during the World Cup. I guess we will probably be out be then though?

Anyway congratulations to them.

12 weeks ago was roughly the beginning of November. We played Madrid at the beginning of November. I'm just going to leave that here.

If it's exactly 12 weeks it would put the due date at the start of August which makes more sense - could be a bit problematic if the child's premature while Kane's trying to score a hattrick in the World Cup Final though!

He's just trying to get paternity time off in August so people don't talk about his goalscoring record that month...

Saved our bacon again. You would think the most dangerous man on the field at a set piece they'd pick him up. A simple bit of movement and an easy finish. It's clever and that's why he's a great goal scorer
