Cheers Marky thumbsup

Any good act on BGT this year? I have not watched a single episode but I'll check an act out on youtube if they are good.

by BamBam Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 14:43

The dog was good, but just read today that they swapped in a stunt dog for part of the act!

by BamBam Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 14:44

Anyone want to give me some advice on which of two players to buy from TPs?

by Marky Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 14:46

PM me if you want

Does anyone at all like Mertesacker or will he just be thought of as having the turning circle of a double decker bus?

by Marky Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 15:55

If it helps Mertesacker played for me last week and I still won.

Transfer release day Euro Division Homepage - Page 20 3559488474

I think my releasing made sense, technically the deal was Navas, Nacho and Mkhitaryan = Ribery, which I think most except Nando would do Whistle

by Fernando Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:12

I don't blame you for doing it but Ribery is a shadow of his former self and in for a TM drop in value id expect Smile

by GSC Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:15

I would never sign Ribery. Never seen him have a game where hes remotely lived up to the hype.

by Marky Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:16

Ribery is a shadow of his former self, that's a bold statement considering he's injured rather than out of form Whistle

You have some weird ratings though. Like saying Pjanic > Koke boxing

by GSC Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:17

Pjanic has a league winners medal on v2. No idea if Koke does.

by Marky Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:20

So does Jordan Henderson. Doesn't make him world class Wink

by GSC Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:20

Means he > Steve Gerrard

by Marky Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:21

Think Gerrard has been a part of title winning sides on here, although going back quite a few years.

by GSC Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:26

Ok grandpa

Gerrard was in my title winning side. Mind you, so was Koke in the previous leagues

Out of interest, what carries the most weight. Pjanic's winners medal on here, or Koke's La Liga winners medal in real life?

by Fernando Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:49

You'd hope a winners medal but then again no one is going to say Gabi > Pjanic

by The_Enigma Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:51

Has a decision been made on Lawyers & any deadline extensions this week?

by Holymiky Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 16:56

Afro and GSC, did either of you find your league table spreadsheets?

by **Afro** Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 17:05

Sorry Miky, I didn't look because I thought GSC was doing you a new one

by Holymiky Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 17:06

No worries mate.

by Trebs Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 17:34

We can't have a transfer deadline extension as funny as it would be.

Anyone selling a top top striker for cash? Might sell suarez to lawyers.

by nadeem2099 Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 17:56

Fernando Torres is available trebs. He is top top top class Fingers Crossed

by **Hero** Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 17:59

Benzema if you make it worth my while x

by wisden Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 18:13

il be honest guys the time of it im having at the moment, tactics were the last time on my mind today, if thats enough to throw me out of the league, then so be it, but no gurantee at all they will be in tonight

by Trebs Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 18:18

Benzema and pogba together in a deal for iniesta/busquets and cash?

by Holymiky Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 18:42

You can offer for Mandzukic if you like. I don't really want to sell though.

Afro, as a goal, it isn't the best. But it's the moment of winning such a big game which makes it special. Personally, I think any United fan would vote that goal (myself included) and that's probably enough to make it win the best goal of all time. It's like Solskjaer for me scored the greatest champions league goal of all time.

I can understand that. And I appreciate the explanation, rather than the outright dismissal I got from Viva.

Still prefer the Cantona goal v Sunderland. His celebration of "yes, I know I am special" was both arrogant and absolutely justified.

I'll give my explanation why.

My favourite United game is a toss up between the FA Cup replay against Arsenal or the second leg against Juve in 99.

That goal Giggs scored was one of a kind, very rarely will you see a goal like that scored especially in a semi final in extra time. Granted poor pass by Vieira but it's hardly like Giggs had a tap in, that Arsenal defence was mean I don't think they concedes for 7 games before that. To beat a keeper like Seaman and to dribble his way through the Arsenal defence like they're not there is special. Like Mighty said maybe looking at it purely as a goal it may not be the best but you've got to take everything into consideration when talking about the greatest goals and for me Giggs deserves it.

by Azzy Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 19:42

Giggs' goal was incredible, even more so in the context of the game, but Danny Wallace scored a better goal than that. I think you have to judge goals based on the goal itself, not its importance. Else Gotze's goal in the World Cup Final is the best goal of 2014, which it clearly isn't.

Charlie Ntamark scored the best own goal ever, better than Giggs. Walsall vs someone, I forget who.

by Azzy Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 19:42

West Ham! Of course it was.

If you do not have the time CF then step aside. Id rather you do it now then it becoming a regular occurrence so hindering the Porto side angel

by **Hero** Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 20:18

Ibrahimovic v England is one of my favourites.

by Trebs Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 20:19

The question is whether a goal is the best irrelevant of where it was scored, like in a dead rubber spurs vs burnley game or if the big occasion matters, the context of it all. Personally i think that the significance of the goal is crucial to make it the best.

by **Afro** Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 20:34

I love the way Ntamack throws himself to the floor after the OG. Is that as good as the infamous Traore one v Burnley though?

For me I judge the goal in its own right primarily. The context of the goal has some bearing on how much we love the goal, but for me it doesn't have an impact of the "best" goal.

The "greatest" maybe, but not "best" for me.

I can agree on that. Migjty/Marky I'm. On Fifa now any of you fancy playing me? The way I'm playing I feel like the Madrid team of the 50s

I can't tonight, my housemate is watching sherlock. Soon though.

Nando can i pm you about a player?

by Fernando Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 22:39

by Azzy Mon 1 Jun 2015 - 22:46

If context increases the value of a goal, then we're looking at a shortlist of Gotze, Iniesta, and my winner, Solskjaer. None of those three would make my top 1,000 goals of all time though. One of my favourite goals ever is Andy Linighan for Arsenal in 1993, but it's not in the top 50,000 in terms of quality.
