    I hope KT never leaves but if we win 10 then of course I'll understand his ambition and for sure after 1/2 seasons in a top 4 league he will be regarded as a World Class player because he's a learner with a good mind and that's what makes me convinced he'll take in as much as he can and make it part of his skill/tactical set.

    Players like De Bruyne make me feel less depressed about the time when Messi and Ronaldo hang up their boots. I reminder that football can produce incredible players who can provide great entertainment even if it isn't that good. But I don't think everyone was depressed when Pele and Maradona retired oops, miss them yeah but it lets other players of great quality get acknowledged.

    The slide rule pass De Bruyne played for Sterling was sublime, very few players have that vision and timing of a ball.

    Don't think Wanyama is enough of a forward player to trouble Virgil, even if he was I'd still pick Virgil just because he's the best player I've seen for ages at Celtic. Plus in England they're considering giving him POTY :eek1: How come on Southampton sees this, it's like a * sequel to "Sixth Sense.' "We see good Celtic players." :43: I love Victor, he scored one of Celtic's great goals when he towered over wee Alba the * who ruined our dreams with the last kick of the ball a fortnight earlier.

    Virgil would be too good for him as he's Virgil is also got a good built and mysteriously Victory's physique seems to have been getting slimmer.

    Still a cool goal for Spurs when he rounded the keeper but it's rare to see him up that far, fantastic vision to make the run though.

    Rose and Trippier make Gamboa and Naylor look good in defense. Wanyama is fighting, but he hasn't truly imposed himself on the game. Son is the reason why I decided to actually watch a CL QF after 7-8 years.

    VAR is amazing, especially with decisions like Mane’s goal.

    Porto most shots on target in the quarter finals, yet still getting pumped.

    English teams seem to have aqcuired a lot of good keepers, it took them a while but now some of them can play out from the back.

    Which is a huge pet hate of mine when we ask our £2m keepers to perform the same as £30m keepers.

    Hmmmm well just say that then, I mean when you say Messi vs Chiellini or Lucas v Kompany etc it suggests you're pondering what that battle would be like. That is how that phraseology is usually used.

    However, I get what you're saying now, no way are Barca or Ajax getting beat by both those teams. Liverpool maybe, not Spurs.

    Oh that's the ref who stopped Nani as he was entering the box to scored a worldly in the European Championships and as he was about to shoot a certain goal the ref blow saying there was no advantage and they had to take the ball back to the half way line, one of the worst decisions at a high level but he's still regarded :56:
